A Fixed-Time Zero Sequence Circulating Current Suppression Strategy Based on Extended Kalman Filter by Xiaopeng Li, Guofeng He, Yuanhao Zhou, Yanfei Dong, Hang Wang

“…Firstly, the detailed mathematical model of ZSCC is described, where the inductance perturbations are considered according to the generation mechanism of ZSCC, and a novel ZSCC controller is designed based on the principles of the fixed-time stability theory which can assure the action time of the zero vectors in one switching cycle. Secondly, to reduce the influence of the inductor parameters on the ZSCC control effect, the EKF is used to identify the online inductance parameters of the filter, and the robustness of the algorithm can be improved. …”
