Grid Connected Inverter

A high reliability of a grid-connected inverter (GCI) system at reasonable cost is a critical requirement for maximizing renewable energy potential in the electrical energy market. Several grid voltage sensorless control approaches have been investigated not only to eliminate the vulnerability of faulty sensors but also to further reduce the GCI commercial price. In this paper, a frequency adaptive integral-resonant full-state feedback current control scheme with the facilitation of a full-state observer is adopted for a grid-connected inductive–capacitive–inductive (LCL) filtered inverter without sensing the grid voltages. The proposed scheme actively damps the filter resonance and ensures the robustness of the inverter system against unexpected severe grid conditions with low cost and simplified hardware construction. The synchronization of the inverter with the main grid is accomplished by the proposed current controller-based grid voltage estimator, in which the grid frequency and phase angle can be detected effectively. In addition, the actual grid voltages are precisely regenerated to ensure the stable performance of the full-state observer. A safe start-up procedure is also presented for the grid voltage sensorless control of the LCL-filtered inverter to avoid a critical overcurrent and long settling time during the start-up instant, offering a stable and reliable inverter system operation with low computational burden. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed voltage sensorless current control scheme are validated by the simulation and experimental results under non-ideal grid conditions such as the harmonic distortion, grid frequency variation, and sudden grid phase angle jump.

This paper presents a frequency adaptive grid voltage sensorless control scheme of a grid-connected inductive–capacitive–inductive (LCL)-filtered inverter, which is based on an adaptive current controller and a grid voltage observer. The frequency adaptive current controller is constructed by a full-state feedback regulator with the augmentation of multiple control terms to restrain not only the inherent resonance phenomenon that is caused by LCL filter, but also current harmonic distortions from an adverse grid environment. The number of required sensing devices is minimized in the proposed scheme by means of a discrete-time current-type observer, which estimates the system state variables, and gradient-method-based observers, which estimate the grid voltages and frequency simultaneously at different grid conditions. The estimated grid frequency is utilized in the current control loop to provide high-quality grid-injected currents, even under harmonic distortions and the frequency variation of grid voltages. As a result, the grid frequency adaptive control performance as well as the robustness against distorted grid voltages can be realized. Finally, an inverter synchronization task without using grid voltage sensors is accomplished by a fundamental grid voltage filter and a phase-locked loop to detect the actual grid phase angle. The stability and convergence performance of the proposed observers have been studied by means of the Lyapunov theory to ensure a high accuracy tracking performance of estimated variables. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
