Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of LCL-type grid-connected inverters, and more specifically to a composite control method for improving the current control performance of three-phase LCL-type grid-connected inverters. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of clean and renewable energy, more and more distributed energy sources are replacing traditional fossil fuels and being integrated into the power grid. As the interface device for connecting distributed generation systems to the grid, the grid-connected inverter bears the important responsibility of integrating distributed energy into the grid. To reduce the harmonic content in the grid-connected current and improve its quality, filtering devices are required. Commonly used filters in engineering include L-type filters and LCL-type filters. Compared to L-type filters, LCL-type filters have better filtering performance, and require less inductance for the same filtering effect. However, an LCL-type filter is a third-order system with inherent resonant spikes, which, if not suppressed, can cause instability in the inverter system.
[0003] There are two existing methods for suppressing resonant spikes: active damping and passive damping. Compared to passive damping, active damping uses state variable feedback to virtually create a resistor to suppress resonant spikes, without adding additional passive components and thus avoiding additional power loss. Under digital control, the characteristics of the virtual resistance are altered by the digital control delay, and the equivalent virtual resistance becomes a frequency-dependent virtual impedance. The positive damping range of this virtual impedance is... , The sampling frequency is the resonant frequency of the system. Exceeded In the equivalent virtual impedance, positive damping becomes negative damping, which affects the robustness and stability of the system, especially at the resonant frequency. At times, the system cannot be stable; under weak grid conditions, the line impedance between the inverter and the grid will affect the resonant frequency of the system, making the system susceptible to instability.
[0004] There are three existing solutions: 1) Predictive control: using a state observer to predict the next state variable of the system in advance. However, in actual engineering, changes in circuit parameters and line impedance can cause deviations between the prediction model and the actual system, thus affecting the actual control performance; 2) Modifying the sampling method: reducing computational delay by increasing the number of samples. However, using only this method to solve the control delay problem will greatly increase the computational burden on the processor and may also introduce aliasing and switching noise; 3) Indirect delay compensation method: reducing the impact of delay on the active damping characteristics by introducing a delay compensation element in the active damping loop. However, using only this method to compensate for the system delay will make the control algorithm very complex.
[0005] Existing technical solutions typically employ a single approach to address the resonance problem of digitally controlled LCL grid-connected inverters and the impact of digital control delay on the system, which increases the system's control complexity. In weak grid conditions, the system's control becomes even more complex, and its robustness is insufficient.
[0006] Therefore, while ensuring system stability, improving the system's robustness to weak power grids and optimizing the system control algorithm are issues that need to be considered and addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a composite control method to improve the current control performance of a three-phase LCL grid-connected inverter.

A digital control delay is introduced, and a system loop gain based on the digital control delay is established on the basis of the transfer function. Composite control is achieved by combining modified capacitor current sampling method with the addition of delay compensation stage: Modifying the capacitor current sampling method to shorten the capacitor current sampling delay includes: sampling the grid-connected current at the trough of the triangular carrier wave, sampling the capacitor current at the peak of the triangular carrier wave, and loading the modulation signal at the next grid-connected current sampling time, thereby shortening the capacitor current sampling delay by half a beat of sampling delay. The delay compensation stage is used to compensate for the impact of digital control delay. By embedding a leading phase compensator in the capacitor current feedback loop, the impact of digital control delay is reduced, and the stability of the system and the quality of grid-connected current are improved. The output signal of the current controller and the output signal of the capacitor current feedback loop are calculated, and the output adjustment signal is transformed into the input modulation signal of the space vector pulse width modulation module to drive the LCL grid-connected inverter.

Re-determine the proportionality coefficient Or adjust the amplitude margin and ; According to gain The values of and the range of phase margin of the system are used to design the resonance coefficient. .
[0017] Secondly, the present invention provides a three-phase LCL type inverter, which adopts the composite control method for improving the current control performance of the three-phase LCL type grid-connected inverter as described in any one of the first aspects.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a composite control method to improve the current control performance of a three-phase LCL grid-connected inverter. While ensuring system stability, it significantly optimizes the control complexity of a single control strategy by employing an innovative control strategy that combines modified capacitor current sampling with an embedded lead-phase compensator in the capacitor current feedback loop. The positive damping region of the equivalent virtual resistance of the capacitor current active damping obtained by this method is expanded to the entire Nyquist frequency range, making the system more adaptable to a wide range of line impedance variations under weak grid conditions, thus greatly improving the system's robustness and stability.

[0054] Based on the control strategy proposed in this invention and the parameters of the aforementioned three-phase LCL grid-connected inverter, the system impedance under weak grid conditions can be plotted as a function of the grid line impedance. exist To highlight the superiority of the control strategy proposed in this invention, the amplitude-frequency response curve of the open-loop transfer function varying within a certain range is compared with that of the traditional capacitor current active damping open-loop transfer function. The proportional coefficient in the traditional capacitor current feedback loop is compared with the gain coefficient of the lead phase compensator in this paper.

As the value increases, the system's resonance peak gradually shifts to the left, and the system's resonance peak exhibits a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, indicating that it is in a state of flux. The sampling frequency reaches its maximum value, and the system phase occurs twice at that point. The jump in impedance is due to the fact that the portion of the virtual impedance in the equivalent active damping of a traditional capacitor current abruptly changes from providing positive damping to providing negative damping at this point. The system changes with the line impedance... The increase in current also gradually led to instability, confirming the shortcomings of traditional active capacitor current damping in terms of insufficient robustness to wide range of line impedance variations under weak grid conditions. Figure 12 The amplitude-frequency response curve of the open-loop transfer function of the proposed scheme is shown in the figure. It can be seen that as the line impedance increases... As the amplitude increases, the system's resonant peak shows a decreasing trend, and the overall peak value is significantly lower than that of the traditional scheme. Furthermore, the system's phase frequency curve does not exhibit a second jump. This is because the proposed scheme extends the equivalent virtual impedance of active damping to the entire Nyquist frequency. The resistive part of the equivalent virtual impedance continuously provides a positive damping effect for the system, which greatly improves the system's stability and robustness to a wide range of line impedance variations under weak power grid conditions.
