Background
In recent years, with the shortage of fossil energy and the increasingly serious problem of environmental pollution, renewable energy technology is greatly developed and popularized, and an inverter is a key component of grid-connected power generation of new energy, so that the function of the inverter is very important. In order to attenuate high-frequency switching harmonics generated by the on-off of a power device, the output of the grid-connected inverter is connected with a power grid through an LC or LCL filter, but the resonance peak of the LCL may cause grid-connected current oscillation and even cause the grid-connected inverter to be unstable. Especially under weak grid conditions, coupling resonance between the inverter and the grid may occur due to interaction of the inverter output impedance and the grid impedance.
In addition, due to penetration of harmonic voltage of a higher-level power grid and access of various nonlinear loads of the current-level power grid, abundant background harmonic waves are contained in the voltage of a public access Point (PCC) under the condition of a weak power grid. The background harmonic may cause distortion of the grid-connected inverter's grid-connected current, increasing the grid-connected current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Therefore, certain measures need to be taken to suppress the interaction resonance of the LCL filter and the grid and the influence of grid voltage harmonics on the grid-connected current. The problem of resonance suppression can be solved by introducing passive damping or active damping, the passive damping is simple to realize and high in reliability, and has a good suppression effect on the resonance, but the loss of a system can be increased. The traditional active damping scheme is sensitive to filter parameters and power grid impedance changes, and usually, an additional sensor is needed, so that the system cost is increased, and the system operation reliability is reduced. The voltage harmonic suppression problem can be solved by a repetitive controller, a harmonic compensator or a power grid voltage feedforward technology. The power grid voltage feedforward control algorithm is simple, the harmonic suppression range is wide, meanwhile, the impact current in the starting process can be prevented, the steady-state tracking error is reduced, the dynamic performance of the system is improved, and the method is widely applied. However, under weak grid conditions, due to interaction between the inverter and grid impedance, grid voltage feed-forward introduces additional positive feedback of grid-side current, which negatively affects system stability. In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a network side current control method based on a passive theory aiming at an LCL type grid-connected inverter under the condition of a weak power grid.

In a specific embodiment, in order to suppress the resonance of the LCL filter and to improve the ability of the inverter to withstand grid disturbances, according to fig. 1, at the filter inductance L1Branch circuit and filter capacitor CfThe branch being connected in series to a controlled source (alphav)pcc-igZv) Wherein igZvSimulated damping ZvCan suppress the resonance peak of the inverter and the controlled voltage source alpha vpccThe influence of the harmonic voltage of the power grid on the grid-connected current can be resisted. Is connected in series at L1Controlled source of tributary (α v)pcc-igZv) The control loop of the inverter can be integrated, and the control loop is realized through grid voltage and grid side current feedback control. And is connected in series to the capacitor CfControlled source on branch (α v)pcc-igZv) This is achieved by the addition of active compensation means.
In a specific application example, the structure and control of the active compensation device are as follows: the schematic diagram of the active compensation device is shown in FIG. 2, the left half part is the circuit schematic diagram of the active compensation device, and compensationThe device is connected in series with a filter capacitor CfAnd (4) branching. Wherein S is1、S2Representing two low-voltage MOSFET switching tubes, CdcThe direct current side capacitor, a branch circuit formed by connecting a voltage stabilizing tube and a resistor in series is used for limiting the amplitude of the bus voltage in the starting process of the circuit. Because the compensation device only needs to process harmonic impedance, the switch tube S1、S2Low voltage MOSFETs may be selected. Meanwhile, because the circuit is connected in series with the capacitor branch circuit, the capacity needing to be processed is very small, and the influence on the efficiency of the inverter can be almost ignored.
The right half part is an active compensation device control schematic diagram, and specifically comprises three control links: 1) grid harmonic voltage feed forward is used to enhance the output impedance at the inverter harmonic frequency. Concretely, the voltage v of the grid-connected point is measuredpccThe voltage filtered by the trap with the center frequency of 50Hz is provided for the PWM modulator; 2) grid-connected current igAs active damping, suppresses the resonance of the filter. The method comprises the following steps that a current error signal of a main inverter is used as a control quantity; 3) feed-forward of the compensator bus voltage is used to ensure proper operation of the compensation circuit.
In a specific application example, the main inverter is controlled as follows: because the current reference signal is a sine quantity, in order to reduce steady-state error, the main inverter adopts a quasi-PR controller, and the reference current is obtained by taking cosine and current amplitude I from the phase position of the grid voltage output by the SOGI-PLLmAnd multiplying the two to obtain the product.
In a specific application example, the control parameters are designed as follows: in conjunction with the above-described available system overall control block diagram, as shown in fig. 3, further, an inverter output impedance transfer function Z that employs the proposed control method can be derivedo(s)。
Further, the inverter output impedance needs to be passivity-guaranteed, i.e. the output impedance phase is satisfied
The system can remain stable regardless of changes in the grid impedance. Is composed ofEnsuring the output impedance of the inverter to be fully passivity, reserving a certain phase margin, and if the phase margin is defined as PM, determining the phase margin according to constraint conditions
The control parameters can be reasonably designed.
And (3) substituting the known system parameters into the output impedance transfer function of the inverter, for example, taking the phase margin PM as 90 degrees, and carrying out parameter design according to the principle to obtain the proportionality coefficient KpThe Bode plot is plotted for 50 with the feedforward coefficient α being 0.5, as shown in fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a graph of the output impedance Bode of a conventional grid-side current-controlled inverter. Compared with the traditional network side current control method, the method provided by the invention ensures the sufficient passivity of the inverter output impedance in the ultra-wide frequency range, greatly improves the amplitude of the inverter output impedance, realizes the stability of the inverter under different power grid conditions, and improves the capability of the inverter to resist power grid disturbance. Fig. 6 and 7 are graphs of waveforms of grid-connected current and PCC voltage using conventional grid-side current control and proposed grid-side current control, respectively, in case of weak grid. It can be seen from the figure that the grid-connected current and the PCC voltage of the inverter controlled by the traditional grid-side current under the weak grid are severely oscillated, the THD of the grid-connected current is as high as 15.52%, and the upper limit of the grid-connected current is far beyond the 5% upper limit specified by GB/T37408 and 2019. The oscillation is caused by that the phase difference at the intersection frequency of the grid impedance and the inverter output impedance approaches 180 degrees, and the passivity is not enough. Under the same weak grid condition, the grid-connected current sine degree of the grid-side current control method is good, and the THD is only 0.93%. Further, as shown in fig. 8, after the grid impedance is increased to 15mh and a 150W rectification load is added to the PCC point, the grid voltage distortion is increased, but the sine degree of the grid-connected current is still high, and the THD value is only 2.43%. The stability of the inverter under the weak grid and the suppression capability of the inverter on the grid disturbance can be improved by the grid side current control method.
