Abstract
High-order filters, such as inductor-capacitor-inductor ( LCL) filter, have been popular in grid-tied power converters. Although featuring small size, LCL filters are not grid friendly due to inherent resonance, especially when a large number of converters are in parallel operation in todays electric grid to attain modularity, reliability, and redundancy advantages. Thus, this article reconsiders the low-order L filter in parallel converters to eliminate the resonance and in turn to simplify the control. It is found that by interleaving a certain number of converters, the L filter will be sufficient to meet the harmonic limit requirements of the standards, while the filter size can be even smaller than the LCL filter. This further contributes to cost reduction as a promising solution for grid-friendly converters.
