A new methodology to design discrete-time multiple resonant controllers for single-phase uninterruptible powersupply inverters is proposed in this study. This methodology is based on classical linear tools and consists on thesynthesis of the inverter output impedance according to standard specifications. This synthesis is performed using amulti-loop control strategy composed of an inner current control loop using a proportional controller, and an outervoltage control loop using the multiple resonant controller. A prototype was built to demonstrate the practicalfeasibility of the theoretical proposal. A significant reduction of the output impedance at determined harmonicfrequencies resulted in a low-voltage total harmonic distortion of the output voltage of about 1.76%, for IEC 62040-3reference non-linear load.
