To improve the robustness of grid-connected inverter against grid impedance in a weak grid an integrated design method of LCL-filter parameters and controller parameters is proposed. In the method the inherent relation of LCL-filter parameters and controller parameters is taken into consideration to realize their optimized match. A parameter normalization scheme is also developed to facilitate the system stability and robustness analysis. Based on the method all normalization parameters can be designed succinctly according to the required stability and robustness. Additionally, the LCL parameter and controller parameter can be achieved immediately by restoring normalization parameters. The proposed design method can guarantee the inverter stability and robustness simultaneously without needing any compensation network, additional hardware, or the complicated iterative computations which cannot be avoided for the conventional inverter design method. Simulation and experiment results have validated the superiority of the proposed inverter design method.
