PV power generation systems are often connected to distribution networks via grid-connected inverters. Grid-connected inverters transmit power to the grid, while grid-connected current control is a key issue in the precise control of PV systems. Commonly used grid-connected current control methods include constant frequency hysteresis control, predictive control, repetitive control, single-cycle control, sliding mode control, feedback linearization control, deadbeat control, and proportional-integral control.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] The following is an introduction to the relevant terms involved in the embodiments of this application:

[0050] Photovoltaic Inverter: A photovoltaic inverter (PV inverter or solar inverter) converts the variable DC voltage generated by photovoltaic (PV) solar panels into AC power at mains frequency, which can be fed back into the commercial transmission system or used in off-grid power grids. PV inverters are a key balance of system (BOS) component in PV array systems and can be used with conventional AC-powered equipment. Solar inverters have special features for PV arrays, such as maximum power point tracking and islanding protection.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a current loop control method suitable for photovoltaic inverter grid connection includes the following steps:

[0052] S101: Obtain the three-phase current at the grid connection point, input the three-phase current into a pre-built Clark coordinate converter for coordinate conversion, and obtain the current components of the α-axis and β-axis;

[0053] Mathematical model of the grid-connected converter in the two-phase static α and β coordinate system:

[0054]

[0055] Where u α (t),u β (t) is the component of the converter output voltage on the α and β axes respectively; i α (t), i β (t) is the component of the converter output current on the α and β axes respectively.

[0056] Now define the complex vector f αβ =f α +jf β , so the voltage and current can be expressed in complex vector form:

[0057]

[0058] Will The formula is rewritten into vector form

[0059]

[0060] According to the transfer function of the converter in the two-phase coordinate system, it can be written as:

[0061]

[0062] The nF-DPCI current inner loop control transfer function is:

[0063]

[0064] After simplification, we can get:

[0065] The current loop closed-loop transfer function can be derived from the above formula:

[0066]

[0067] S102: Obtain the grid connection point voltage, input the grid connection point voltage into a pre-built voltage outer loop PI controller, enter the phase-locked loop after coordinate conversion to obtain a voltage deviation value, and obtain the reference current components of the α-axis and β-axis through the voltage deviation value through PI control;

[0068] The voltage outer loop PI controller is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Where K p is the proportional coefficient of the controller, K i is the controller integral coefficient, sλ is the fractional-order complex frequency domain.

[0071] S103: Input the current components of the α-axis and β-axis and the reference current components of the α-axis and β-axis into a pre-built nF-DPCI controller, output a PWM modulation signal, input the PWM modulation signal into a PWM generator for modulation, obtain a switch tube drive signal, and control the grid-connected inverter current based on the switch tube drive signal.

[0072] The pre-built nF-DPCI controller is constructed by introducing a complex proportional integral link s-jω into a voltage outer loop PI controller.

[0073] The control transfer function of the nF-DPCI is:

[0074]

[0075] where K p is the proportional coefficient of the controller, K i is the controller integral coefficient, s λ is the fractional-order complex frequency domain, j is a complex unit, ω is the control frequency, and the grid frequency is f.

[0076] The ω N =2πf,K p =k·L,K i =k·R L Where L represents the filter inductor, R L is the equivalent resistance, and k is the controller gain.

[0077] Specifically, the present invention will be further described below through examples:

[0078] according to Figure 4 Compared with the traditional controller, nF-DPCI control is a complex controller, which makes it difficult to implement the controller principle. However, the nF-DPCI control is based on the two-phase stationary coordinate system m α =jm β The relationship between , thus realizing the complex number j, that is, the amplitude remains unchanged and the phase rotates 90° in the positive direction.

[0079] according to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The simulation results verify the dynamic performance of nF-DPCI. Figure 5 The three-phase grid-connected current waveform output by the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter shows that after the switch is closed at 0.02 seconds, the current reaches the steady-state value after about one cycle. Figure 6 The output current can quickly track the grid voltage phase by taking the phase A current and voltage in , thus achieving unity power factor grid-connected power generation. Figure 7In the figure, a disturbance of 0.1 second is applied at 0.6 second to simulate the power change of photovoltaic due to the change of external environment. It can be seen that after adopting the nF-DPCI current controller, the A phase current quickly recovers to the stable value, and the system has good dynamic stability and fast tracking performance.
