Simulation-based analysis of current control methods for voltage source inverters with practical considerations

Simulations of voltage source inverters often only consider the ideal system performance, but in the real-world there are always non-ideal characteristics too. To provide insight into performance under non-ideal conditions and to make comparable analyses, particular levels of non-ideal characteristics can be introduced as a benchmark in simulation of current control strategies for voltage source inverters. The overall aim is to offer some implementation guidance so that control method suitability and associated issues/limitations are quickly identified (via knowledge of particular non-ideal characteristics that a certain control is susceptible to) - which hopefully saves time and/or cost during prototype development and verification.
