Duro Basic

Provided is an approach for active control of cross currents flowing among multiple paralleled converters. Control of cross currents is achieved by using at least one proportional-integral (PI) controller and at least one resonant controller to target several selected dominant harmonics with infinite gains to ensure elimination of targeted harmonic cross currents in steady state. The cross currents are decomposed by into (1) common mode and differential mode components or (2) current phase domain components and each component is suppressed to a value approximately near zero using the controller. Also provided is a device comprises instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, which regulate and suppress cross current within a power system.
