Design of Adaptive Hysteresis Current Control Based on Artificial Neural Network for a Single-Phase Bidirectional Voltage Source Inverter

Abstract

The rapid growth of electric vehicles and energy storage systems requires efficient two-way power conversion systems, such as bidirectional VSIs operating in Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) modes. Unfortunately, conventional Hysteresis Current Control (HCC) methods lead to unstable switching frequencies, degrading the system's power quality and performance. This study proposes a single-phase two-way Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) with a full bridge topology controlled by an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based Adaptive Hysteresis Current Control (AHCC) scheme. ANN is used to define hysteresis bands adaptively to keep the switching frequency stable. The system consists of a two-way VSI connected to the grid and a two-way DC-DC converter that connects the battery via DC-Link. The simulation results showed that the proposed method produced a narrower instantaneous frequency switching range of 5.263 kHz-25 kHz compared to Fixed-HCC of 11,111kHz-50 kHz, so that AHCC-ANN produced an average frequency switching value of 13.37 kHz, close to the desired frequency switching of 15 kHz, while Fixed-HCC was 20,25 kHz. On the other hand, the% of THD for AHCC-ANN (2.72%) is lower than that for Fixed-HCC (3.2%). On the other hand, the DC-link voltage can also be maintained at 400 V during charging and discharging. These results show that AHCC with ANN can stabilize switching frequencies and DC-link voltages and support effective bidirectional power flow.
