This work presents a linear state-feedback controller using a backstepping design approach for output voltage regulation of 3 ϕ voltage-sourced converters feeding to customers' loads in a stand-alone AC microgrid system. Irrespective of load type and its variations, parameter uncertainties, and other disturbances, the controller is robust enough to achieve a regulated voltage magnitude within the prescribed bounds and exact frequency tracking. The criterion for gain selection using Lyapunov analysis is given. With global exponential convergence feature and better coordination among inner current and outer voltage control loops, improved transient response is achieved. Controller features are examined by eigenvalue analysis and extensive simulation studies. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed controller implementation.
