Abstract

The performance of Single Phase Grid Connected Inverters (SPGCIs) get degraded due to several detrimental factors such as the grid voltage harmonics, the dead time effect and the turn ON/OFF of the switches and so on, which cause the harmonics at the output of Grid Connected Inverters (GCIs). Therefore, it is not easy to satisfy the harmonic standards such as IEEE 519 and P1547 without the help of harmonic compensator. In this paper, the Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA) based harmonic compensation is proposed, which makes it possible to extract the amplitude and phase information of the harmonics from the output current and compensate it by using a simple PI controller in a feedforward manner. In order to show the superior performance of the proposed harmonic compensation technique, it is compared with those of conventional harmonic compensation methods in terms of the effectiveness of harmonic elimination, complexity and implementation. The validity of the proposed harmonic compensation techniques is verified through the PSIM simulation and experiments with a 5kW SPGCI.
