This paper evaluates the current control methods for three-phase voltage-source-inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL-filters. Current feedback methods from both line and converter sides are compared and theoretical analysis is stated. The analysis is based on the existence of a critical resonant frequency dividing the controlling frequency interval into two regions; namely low and high resonant frequency regions. The feedback types and damping methods are evaluated for both low and high resonant frequency regions with regard to resonant and low frequency poles of the system. In the low resonant frequency region, damping of LCL-filter resonance is necessary for line current feedback; while the current controller provides inherent damping when converter current feedback is utilized. Moreover, total harmonic distortion (THD) and power factor performance of the designed system employing either line or converter current feedback is assessed under varying load conditions. Besides, thorough theoretical approaches supported with simulation results are presented.

Series Active Filter Based Resonance Damping of High Power Three-phase, LCL Filtered, Grid Connected Voltage Source Inverters
Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-06-04)
A series active filter (SAF) based method for the damping of resonant harmonics created by the LCL-filter of the grid connected PWM-VSI is proposed. Oscillations in multi-megawatt rated high power inverters with LCL-filters are damped with resistors which create undesired power losses typically up to 1% of the rated power of the system. The method stated in this paper overcomes the stability/oscillation problem while providing a solution to the resistive power loss. The proposed SAF compensated system perfo...
Carrier Phase Shift Method of SPWM for Concurrent Wired and Wireless Power Transfer Systems
Ayaz, Enes; Altun, Ogün; Keysan, Ozan (2022-01-01)
This paper presents an approach for concurrent power transfer to wired and wireless systems using just a single inverter. The approach utilizes a novel carrier phase-shift (CPS) method that independently controls the inverter output voltages at the fundamental and switching frequencies. This proposed method can be a cost-effective solution to wireless power transfer (WPT) systems used in contactless slip rings (CSR), which transfer power to auxiliary loads such as sensors, radars, and IoT devices. There are...
Interharmonics analysis of power signals with fundamental frequency deviation using Kalman filtering
Köse, Neslihan; Salor, Oezguel; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2010-09-01)
In this paper a spectral decomposition-based method for interharmonic computation is proposed for power systems where the fundamental frequency fluctuates significantly. In the proposed method, the frequency domain components of the voltage waveform are obtained by Kalman filtering. Both the system fundamental frequency and the correct spectrum of the voltage waveform, and hence the exact interharrnonics are obtained. The proposed method is tested with both simulated and field data obtained from different e...
LCL-Filter Design for Low-Voltage High-Power Grid-Tied Voltage-Source Converter Considering Various Damping Methods
Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2016-06-30)
The limited switching frequency, size and weight concerns, and the stringent limits for the injected grid current harmonics challenge the implementation of LCL grid filters for low-voltage multi-megawatt (multi-MW) renewable energy converters. Traditional design procedures of such filters employed in low power and high switching frequency converters may not hold for a multi-MW filter interfacing a low-voltage converter switching at low frequency to the electric grid. This paper proposes an LCL-filter design...

Gurguiatu, Gelu; Balanuta, Ciprian; Rosu, Emil; Munteanu, Toader; Dumitrescu, Mariana; Raducan, Elena (2011-09-10)
This paper presents a three-phase Active Power Filter (APF) to improve grid power quality. Starting from indirect control strategy which was used only for three legs - three wires it is proposed in this paper to be used a bridge with three legs - four wire. The new control strategy it was named extended indirect control strategy. The extension consists in passing from the control of a three wire active power filter to the control of a four wire active power filter. The proposed active power filter can compe...
