Abstract

Virtual oscillator control (VOC) has been proposed for Microgrids, since compared to the droop control method, VOC has a faster transient response. However, the output voltage of the conventional VOC always contains the third-harmonic. Thus, in the grid-connected mode, the third-harmonic voltage causes the generation of significant third-harmonic current which is injected into the power grid. In this paper, by analyzing the nonlinear oscillator and simplifying the nonlinear current source in the oscillator, a novel VOC for three-phase DC/AC inverter is proposed, where the third-harmonic of the oscillator output voltage can be successfully eliminated, whether in the islanded or grid-connected mode of operation. In addition, compared with the traditional VOC, the dynamic response of the proposed VOC-based inverter can be significantly improved, especially in the islanded mode. Experimental device designed on the DSPACE DS1202 is developed to verify the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
