摘要:For three-phase LCL-type grid-connected converter, when it is attached to weak grid, current control interacts with phase-locked loop (PLL) via point of common coupling voltage. Consequently, PLL dynamic might deteriorate grid current control and even result in system instability. However, the conventional design method of current controller neglects the impact of PLL, and therefore, it is hard for the current controller to mitigate the negative effect of PLL. In this paper, an improved design of current controller, i.e., proportional-integral controller and capacitor-current-feedback active damping, is proposed to reduce the negative effect of PLL on current control. First, a small-signal impedance model is developed to analyze the impact of PLL on current control. Then, the effect of current controller parameters on the converter output impedance is analyzed, and a design guideline to improve the current controller parameters is presented. With the improved parameters, in precondition of satisfying system stability margin under both stiff and weak grid, the negative effect of PLL on current control can be effectively mitigated without employing additional control strategies. Furthermore, the current control has a strong robustness against wide-range variation of grid impedance. Finally, the experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
