In this work, it is presented a new direct discrete-time robust adaptive PI (Proportional Integral) Controller for grid-injected current control loop of a voltage source converter with LCL filter. The mathematical background is based on Robust Model Reference Adaptive Control theory. However, the proposed controller is straightforward, it does not need a reference model and has capability to track directly currents reference. This approach simplifies significantly controller design, resulting in a reformulation of parameters vector used for adaptation of adjustable gains. It turns the controller robust to unmodelled dynamics, while avoid the complexity inherent to the conventional high order adaptive controllers for grid-connected power systems. Besides, it is highlighted that proposed controller does not need resonant controllers for grid disturbance rejection, or require any knowledge of grid parameters, lines impedance or load power demand. Also, due to its simple structure, it is easily implemented and does not require a high processing capacity. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the control strategy in terms of reference tracking, harmonics content and robustness to the grid impedance variation is corroborated through experiments.
