Claim Text:
1. A control method implemented in a power converter, the power converter including an inverter controlled by a control law for determining a control voltage to be applied to an electrical load as a function of a reference control voltage, the control method comprising: measuring, on output phases of the inverter, a real voltage applied to the electrical load; first filtering the real voltage applied to the electrical load to obtain a first filtered voltage; second filtering the reference control voltage to obtain a second filtered voltage; calculating a compensation voltage that causes nonlinearities of the inverter; calculating a correction value to be applied to the reference control voltage as a function of the first filtered voltage and the second filtered voltage by employing a proportional-integral action corrector with a difference term representing a difference between the first filtered voltage and the second filtered voltage and a feedforward term, which is distinct from the difference term and which is an anticipative action term that is calculated from the compensation voltage, to correct an effect of perturbations caused by the nonlinearities of the inverter such that the reference control voltage with the correction value applied thereto satisfies the control law; and applying the correction value to the reference control voltage.
