Abstract
The parallel three-phase grid-connected converters (GCCs) with common dc and ac buses can increase the system power level effectively. However, zero sequence circulating current (ZSCC) will occur inevitably. In this paper, the mechanisms and characteristics of ZSCC in two parallel three-phase GCCs are first investigated based on three typical cases. From the analysis, it was found that not all ZSCC can be suppressed. Generally speaking, ZSCC caused by inconsistent modulation voltages between modules cannot be effectively handled. And ZSCC caused by different injected zero sequence voltages (ZSVs) or asynchronous carriers can be suppressed. Based on the theoretical analysis, identical ZSV injection and carrier synchronization methods without communication are, thus, proposed to suppress ZSCC at the source, which are easily implemented without adding any hardware. Finally, the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed methods on ZSCC suppression are well-verified by experiments.
