Dead-time compensation in three-phase grid-tied inverters using LQG multivariable control.

Dead-time is the most important disturbance in a voltage-source inverter's operation. It introduces low-order harmonics at the inverter's output voltage. To compensate for the dead-time effects in three-phase grid-tied inverters, this paper proposes a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) multivariable control approach.
