The Dual-Current Control Strategy of Grid-Connected Inverter With LCL Filter

Abstract

In the renewable energy generation systems, the grid-connected inverter with LCL filter (GCI- LCL ) is an important device to realize dc–ac power conversion and connect the distributed power generation system and power grid. However, the resonance problems of the LCL filter may bring instability to GCI- LCL . Besides, the grid impedance and the time delay in digital controllers also have a harmful influence on the stability of GCI- LCL . To solve these problems, a dual-current active damping control strategy based on the inverter-side current and grid-connected current feedback for GCI- LCL is proposed in this paper, and the systematic parameters design process is investigated. Compared with the conventional damping strategies, a resonance suppression for the LCL filter, a larger stability margin, and a better anti-interference capability in a weak grid can be achieved under the proposed strategy. In addition, by analyzing the active damping effect of the proposed strategy, a simplified model in a low-frequency band for GCI- LCL is proposed to enhance the anti-interference capability in the weak grid and simplify the parameters design process. Finally, a GCI- LCL prototype is constructed and the experiment results verify the correctness and feasibility of the analysis and proposed strategy.
