Taking actual engineering as a case study, this article provides a novel scheme of applying the inductive power filtering method (IPFM) to resolve the harmonic resonance issues in large-scale photovoltaic (PV) plant. By using IPFM's special structure and dual zero-impedance design, the impedance network of large-scale PV plant is reshaped while the performance of power filters is improved, so that the harmonic resonance due to the interaction between the inverters and the power grid is suppressed. First, the topology and components of the IPFM-based large-scale PV plant are introduced. The three-phase mathematical model in harmonic domain is then established. Based on the deduced transfer matrix, the simplified circuit of the studied large-scale PV plant is obtain-ed. Moreover, the IPFM's resonance damping mechanisms on resonant frequency shift and harmonic amplification mitigation are analyzed. Both simulation and engineering tests verify the feasibility of the proposal.
