For grid-connected power converter control, a method estimates a d-axis grid voltage from a d-axis reference current modified with a d-axis current, and a q-axis current modified with a filter inductive reactance. The method generates a q-axis grid voltage from a direct current (DC) voltage input modified with the DC bus voltage modified with a notch filter to balance the voltage input and further reduced with the q-axis current. The method modifies the estimated d-axis grid voltage and the q-axis grid voltage by selectively removing second-order harmonics. The method further determines a d-axis voltage output and a q-axis voltage output as a function of the modified estimated d-axis grid voltage and the modified q-axis grid voltage.
