Abstract

With the growing penetration of wind energy into modern power grids, the demand for high-performance converter control has increased significantly. In particular, precise current reference tracking is essential to guarantee efficient energy conversion and robust system operation under dynamic wind and grid variations. This paper addresses the challenge of precise reference tracking in power converters by introducing a novel switching sequence control (SSC) strategy. The proposed method is systematically developed and demonstrated through a step-by-step application to a power converter. More importantly, the SSC framework enables a systematic and accurate analysis of converter performance in both dynamic and steady-state regimes. The effectiveness and practicality of the proposed control strategy are validated through comprehensive simulation and experimental results.
