Abstract

Grid-connected converters (GcCs) employ LCL filters instead of simple L filters in order to meet new grid codes and their on-going changes in the near future. Active damping methods, without power losses, are preferred to passive ones for solving the resonance problems of LCL -filter-based GcCs ( LCL -GcCs). However, large changes in the grid inductance (typically under weak grid conditions and in rural areas) may compromise the system stability. Moreover, the delay of digital controllers will change system phase-frequency characteristics and consequently will affect the system stability. In view of this, this paper proposes a systematic design procedure for the active damping of voltage-oriented PI control for LCL- GcCs. The procedure considers active damping methods based on capacitor current feedback and is aimed to ensure stable operation under severe grid inductance variations while taking into account the influence of digital control delay and LCL filter parameters changes on the system stability. Simulation and experimental results are presented and discussed in order to validate the proposed design procedure.
