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.

In renewable energy-based generation sources a phase locked loop is one of the most popular synchronization techniques. A rapid and precise grid voltage phase and frequency estimation under a wide spectrum of possible grid disturbances is its main objective. This paper compares popular grid synchronization algorithms on grid voltage anomalies. The compared algorithms are divided in three groups: without filtering, with filtering in synchronous reference frame and with filtering in stationary reference frame. The behaviour of the algorithms is tested in a laboratory, using dSpace 1103 as a platform on which the algorithms are compiled and OMICRON CMC 356 as a programmable grid voltage generator. The benchmarks conducted in this paper include voltage sags, grid voltages harmonics, DC offset and frequency step change. The obtained results show that there are significant differences in tested PLL responses for some networks disturbances.

In this paper, the basic principle and characteristics of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in a single phase grid-connected system are analyzed, and this paper introduces one type virtual orthogonal voltage vector method based on a third order generalized integrator (TOGI) to construct an alpha and beta static coordinate system. The TOGI structure can eliminate the DC offset in a voltage signal or zero offset in the sampling process, and ensure the amplitude of the virtual orthogonal signal is consistent. At the same time, the adaptive frequency estimation unit is introduced, which can effectively deal with the power grid voltage frequency changes and ensure the accuracy of PLL. MATLAB (R2012a, MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA) is used to simulate the variation of power grid voltage frequency, DC component injection, harmonics injection and other parameters, and the performance of PLL is adequately verified. In addition, a 5kW single-phase energy router experimental platform is built to verify the proposed PLL. The experimental results show that the PLL can well track the frequency change of the grid voltage and eliminate the DC offset, so as to achieve accurate phase tracking.

Recently, several approaches with the ability to reject the DC-offset in phase locked loop (PLL) methods have been developed. These approaches include different filtering structures which can be classified into two categories: prefiltering before the PLL input and in-loop filtering in the PLL control loop. As highlighted in the literature, the DC-offset rejection methods based on in-loop filtering have received less attention due to their slow dynamic performance. Therefore, this paper proposes an alternative DC-offset rejection technique as in-loop filtering of the PLL. The effectiveness of the proposed PLL is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

Synchronization block which is used as a part of photovoltaic (PV) inverters control structure has a key impact on connectinginverters with grid. One of the most important parameters in the point of connection PV inverter and grid is phase angle between gridvoltage and inverter current. This angle determines the energy transfer between inverter and grid. Synchronization algorithms havedeveloped for very long time. At first, they were based on zero crossing grid voltage detection, while today complexed synchronizationalgorithms implemented on high performance digital board have been used. One of these synchronization structures is Phase LockedLoop – PLL. In this paper implementation of improved PLL structure is presented. This improved structure is special while it haspossibility of grid parameters estimation even if grid voltage has noise or DC offset. This DC offset from the grid in PLL structureusually entered via measurement and A/D conversion processor or may be generated due to temporary system faults. Appearance ofDC offset in measured grid voltage on the one hand prevents any estimation process of grid parameters and on the other hand alsodegrades reference sine signal at the output of PLL structure in PV inverters. This improved structure is designed in digital form andimplemented on FPGA digital board and experimental results of this implementation are presented. Obtained experimental resultsshow that the proposed PLL structure successfully solves important issue such is presence of DC offset in measured grid voltage.

<p>Phase angle detection of the grid voltage is an imperative part of control in most applications, especially for the synchronization of the current injected by the grid-connected photovoltaic inverters. Consequently, fast and accurate detection of the phase angle, frequency and amplitude of the grid voltage are indispensable data to ensure a correct generation of reference signals and operation of the grid connected inverters. We present in this work a new phase-locked loop (PLL) method for single-phase systems. The novelty is to generate an orthogonal voltage system using a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI), followed by a Park transformation, whose quadrature component is forced to zero by the fuzzy logic, in order to obtain rapid detection and a more accurate picture of the phase angle. Furthermore, simulation results with PSIM software will be submitted to verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method strategy. Finally, the experimental test will be used to extract the result and discuss the validity of the proposed algorithm.</p><p> </p>

AbstractFast and accurate monitoring of the phase, amplitude, and frequency of the grid voltage is essential for single-phase grid-connected converters. The presence of DC offset in the grid voltage is detrimental to not only grid synchronization but also the closed-loop stability of the grid-connected converters. In this paper, a new synchronization method to mitigate the effect of DC offset is presented using arbitrarily delayed signal cancelation (ADSC) in a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) phase-locked loop (PLL). A frequency-fixed SOGI-based PLL (FFSOGI-PLL) is adopted to ensure better stability and to reduce the complexity compared with other SOGI-based PLLs. A small-signal model of the proposed PLL is derived for the systematic design of proportional-integral (PI) controller gains. The effects of frequency variation and ADSC on the proposed PLL are considered, and correction methods are adopted to accurately estimate grid information. The simulation results are presented, along with comparisons to other single-phase PLLs in terms of settling time, peak frequency, and phase error to validate the proposed PLL. The dynamic performance of the proposed PLL is also experimentally validated. Overall, the proposed PLL has the fastest transient response and better dynamic performance than the other PLLs for almost all performance indices, offering an improved solution for precise grid synchronization in single-phase applications.
