In this work, a complex-valued controller for a three-phase VSC with an LC output filter is proposed. The system is first transformed into its complex representation with the consequent order reduction and simpler analysis. The proposed complex controller places all the poles at desirable locations in the complex plane. Unlike classical controllers with an inner current-control loop and outer voltage-control loop, the proposed controller considers the complete dynamics of the system, thus ensuring the closed-loop stability. Furthermore, the complex representation facilitates the pole placement in the complex plane compared to the real domain. The performance of the proposed controller is validated through simulations and experiments.
