Abstract

This study addresses the problem of DC-link current pulsations in four-wire AC/DC converters with energy storage operating under unbalanced load conditions. A sensorless compensation algorithm based on AC-side voltage and current measurements is proposed, eliminating the need for additional sensors. The algorithm incorporates a Second Order Generalized Integrator (SOGI) filter for accurate detection and compensation of the pulsating component. Experimental validation under severe asymmetry confirmed the method’s effectiveness. In case 1, the AC component of the DC-link current was reduced from 7 A to 1.4 A and, in case 2, from 3 A to 0.5 A. Corresponding FFT analysis showed a reduction in relative amplitude from 240% to 21.5% and from 264% to 22%, respectively. In an asymmetrical charging scenario (case 3), the AC component was reduced from 2.5 A to nearly 0 A, corresponding to a decrease from 42% to 4.9% in the FFT spectrum. These results demonstrate that the proposed method enables stable converter operation even under deep phase current imbalances, significantly improving energy storage reliability and utility grid performance.
