Explored in this paper is the grid impedance effect on the stability of a single-phase grid connected inverter with an LC filter based on an analysis of the inverter output impedance. For a single-phase grid connected inverter, a PI controller is often used to regulate the current injected into the grid. However, the control performance can be influenced when the inverter is connected to a weak grid. Also, the utility grid has background harmonic noise, which can make the injected current distorted. Therefore, analysis of the output impedance of a single-phase grid connected inverter is important for the robustness and stability of the system. By modeling the output impedance of inverter, it can be determined that the proportional gain and integral gain of the controller have an effect on the output impedance. Analytical results show that by adjusting the PI controller parameters, the ability for harmonic reduction and stability of the system can be improved. Simulation and experiments using a 1 kW single-phase grid connected inverter verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.

The Stability

Because of the powerful filtering ability the third-order LCL filters has been widely used in grid-connected inverters, but there are some problems to be solved on systems stability and control accuracy. A separated-PID control strategy has been proposed according to the PID characteristics and the structural features of a single-phase inverter connected to the grid with a LCL filter. This control strategy has some advantages as a strong dynamic tacking stability, and the system output has a small steady state error. A detailed description is presented on this control strategy applied in the single-phase grid inverter with a LCL filter. According to the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, the stability of a grid-connected inverter system based on the proposed control strategy has been analyzed. Finally, waveforms of this inverter have been presented through a simulation to show the steady and dynamic performance of the proposed scheme.

The Stability

An assessment of the stability and performance of current controllers with harmonic compensators is presented for an inductive-capacitive-inductive (LCL)-filtered grid-connected inverter under distorted weak grid conditions. By using two typical current control schemes which are the direct current controller with the capacitor current-based active damping and integral-resonant state feedback current controller, the closed-loop system stability and current control performance are investigated in the presence of both uncertain grid impedance and distorted grid. Even though the controller stability has been investigated under weak grid in several studies, the stability assessment of the entire current control scheme, including the harmonic resonant controllers, still needs a further comprehensive investigation. The system stability is analyzed by obtaining the movement of the closed-loop poles in the discrete-time domain when the grid impedance varies. To fully study the impact of distorted weak grid condition on the LCL filters, three LCL filter parameter sets giving the resonance frequency in different frequency bands are chosen for the purpose of evaluating the system robustness and grid-injected current quality. In order to support the presented theoretical analyses, comprehensive simulation and experimental results based on 32-bit DSP TMS320F28335 to control 2 kVA grid-connected inverter are presented in terms of grid current quality and control stability in the environment of both uncertain grid impedance and distorted grid.

The dq impedance stability analysis for a grid-connected current-control inverter is based on the impedance ratio matrix. However, the coupled matrix brings difficulties in deriving its eigenvalues for the analysis based on the general Nyquist criterion. If the couplings are ignored for simplification, unacceptable errors will be present in the analysis. In this paper, the influence of the couplings on the dq impedance stability analysis is studied. To take the couplings into account simply, the determinant-based impedance stability analysis is used. The mechanism between the determinant of the impedance-ratio matrix and the inverter stability is unveiled. Compared to the eigenvalues-based analysis, only one determinant rather than two eigenvalue s-function is required for the stability analysis. One Nyquist plot or pole map can be applied to the determinant to check the right-half-plane poles. The accuracy of the determinant-based stability analysis is also checked by comparing with the state-space stability analysis method. For the stability analysis, the coupling influence on the current control, the phase-locked loop, and the grid impedance are studied. The errors can be 10% in the stability analysis if the couplings are ignored.

Digital control possesses evident advantages and has become a mainstream control of photovoltaic grid connected inverter.The mathematical model and parameter setting of the single phase photovoltaic grid connected inverter with L filter was introduced in the paper.It was analysed on the effect on system stability of digital process from the two aspects which were the zero-order-hold and one-step-delay control. The bode diagram was verified the theoretical analysis on system stability.The conclusions were made that the introduction of digital control reduces the critical stable gain of photovoltaic grid connected inverter system,system stability is varied with sample time, the parameters of L can affect the system stability range,zero-order-hold reduces the stability range and limits the performance improved of digital control system,one-step-delay control on photovoltaic grid connected inverter reduces again the stability range on the basis of the zero-order-hold control.
