[0002] As a key device that connects photovoltaic power generation components with the power grid and realizes efficient and high-quality power generation, grid-connected inverters are widely used in new power systems. It is necessary to further improve and realize the high efficiency and compactness of high-frequency grid-connected inverters. However, grid-connected inverters operating at high frequencies have the disadvantages of high switching losses and low conversion efficiency. It can be considered to break through the operating frequency constraints by operating the inductor current in critical conduction mode (CRM) and using soft switching technology to reduce switching losses, further realize the high efficiency and lightweight of grid-connected inverters. The Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number "CN102035425B" proposes a control method suitable for the inverter circuit of a single inverter, which can realize the zero voltage opening of the device, reduce the system loss and improve the system efficiency. The reference "G.Son, Z.Huang, Q.Li and F.C.Lee.Analysis and Control of Critical Conduction Mode High-Frequency Single-Phase Transformerless PV Inverter. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. 2021, 36 (11)" combines trajectory tracking with average current control, and calculates the conduction time of the switch tube based on the average current control, thereby realizing the control of the grid-connected current and the full range of CRM. However, this scheme requires a ZCD circuit and adjusts the control according to the switching cycle, and the control implementation is relatively complicated. To address this problem, a Chinese invention patent application with publication number "CN113852266A" proposes a fully digital soft switching control circuit for a single-phase grid-connected inverter. This circuit is based on a control scheme with a fixed control frequency, which reduces the performance requirements of the digital controller to a certain extent.

[0003] However, the above schemes all have problems such as large amount of digital calculation and urgent need to optimize the dynamic response performance. Traditional single-cycle control, which is widely used in the fields of active power factor correction (PFC) and DC-DC converters, has the advantages of simple control, small amount of calculation and fast dynamic response, but as a nonlinear algorithm, it also has certain shortcomings. Traditional single-cycle control requires a constant switching frequency and cannot be directly applied to soft-switching grid-connected inverters with changing switching frequency and inductor current in critical conduction mode.
