Recently, preparing the problems in connection with energy and environment, grid-connected power systems have been intensively researched in the world. In general, the output power of grid-connected inverter (GCI) contains noisy components of inverter switching frequency. Moreover, pre-existing grid voltage disturbances degrade the output power quality. The objective of this paper is to make a GCI output high quality power. A robust current control scheme using neural network is presented in thispaper. To show the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some simulation results are provided.

To improve the power quality of distributed generation (DG) systems even in the presence of distorted grid condition, dual current control scheme of a grid-connected inverter is proposed. The proposed current control scheme is achieved by decomposing the inverter state equations into the fundamental and harmonic components. The derived models are employed to design dual current controllers. The conventional PI decoupling current controller is used in the fundamental model to control the main power flow in DG systems. At the same time, the predictive control is applied in the harmonic model to suppress undesired harmonic currents to zero quickly. To decompose the voltage inputs and state variables into the fundamental and harmonic components, the fourth order band pass filter (BPF) is designed in the discrete-time domain for a digital implementation. For experimental verification, 2kVA prototype of a grid-connected inverter has been constructed using digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is demonstrated through comparative simulation and experimental results.

The rising penetration of renewable energy resulted in the development of grid-connected large-scale power plants. Therefore, grid stabilization, which depends on the system-type or grid of each country, plays an important role and has been strengthened by different grid codes. With this background, VDE-AR-N 4105 for photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to the low-voltage grid and the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) introduced the medium-voltage grid code for connecting power plants to the grid and they are the most stringent certifications. In this paper, an optimal control strategy scheme for three-phase grid-connected PV system is enhanced with VDE-AR-N 4105 and BDEW grid code, where both active/reactive powers are controlled. Simulation and experimental results of 100kW PV inverter are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed implemental control strategy.

For the digital control of systems such as grid-connected inverters, measuring inverter output currents accurately is essential. However, current measurement offsets are inevitably generated by current measurement paths and cause DC current components in real inverter output currents. Real inverter output currents with DC components cause the DC-link capacitor voltage to oscillate at the frequency of a utility voltage. For these reasons, current measurement offsets deteriorate the overall system performance. A compensation strategy to eliminate the effect of current measurement offsets in grid-connected inverters is proposed in this study. The validity of the proposed compensation strategy is verified through simulations and experiments. Results show that the proposed compensation strategy improves the performance of grid-connected inverters.

In this paper, an adaptive neural phase-locked loop (AN-PLL) based on adaptive linear neuron is proposed for grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) synchronization. The proposed AN-PLL architecture comprises three stages, namely, the frequency of polluted and distorted grid voltages is tracked online; the grid voltages are filtered, and the voltage vector amplitude is detected; the phase angle is estimated. First, the AN-PLL architecture is implemented and applied to a real three-phase power supply. Thereafter, the performances and robustness of the new AN-PLL under voltage sag and two-phase faults are compared with those of conventional PLL. Finally, an application of the suggested AN-PLL in the grid-connected DFIG-decoupled control strategy is conducted. Experimental results prove the good performances of the new AN-PLL in grid-connected DFIG synchronization.

In this paper, current control using PI controller in the synchronous reference frame is analyzed through the relationship among bandwidth, resonance frequency, and sampling frequency in the grid-connected inverter with LCL filter. Stability is investigated by using bode plot in frequency domain and root locus in discrete domain. The feedback variable is the grid current, which is regulated by the PI controller in the synchronous reference frame. System delay is modeled as 1.5Ts, which contains computational and PWM modulator delay. Two resonance frequencies are given at 815 Hz and 3.16 kHz from LCL filter parameters. Sufficient phase and gain margins can be obtained to guarantee stable current control, in case that resonance frequency is above one-sixth of the sampling frequency. Unstable current control is performed when resonance frequency is below one-sixth of the sampling frequency. Analysis results of stability from frequency response and discrete response is the same regardless of resonance frequency. Finally, stability of current control based on theoretical analysis is clearly verified through simulation and experiment in grid-connected inverters with LCL filter.

A power quality improvement scheme for grid connected inverters, even in the presence of the disturbances in grid voltages due to harmonic distortions and three-phase imbalance, is presented for distributed generation (DG) power systems. The control objective is to force the inverter currents to follow their references with robustness even under external disturbances in grid voltages. The proposed scheme is realized by a disturbance observer (DOB) based current control scheme. Since the uncertainty in a system can be effectively canceled out using an estimated disturbance by the DOB, the resultant system behaves like a closed-loop system consisting of a disturbance-free nominal model. For experimental verification, a 2 kVA laboratory prototype of a grid connected inverter has been built using a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335. Through comparative simulations and experimental results under grid disturbances such as harmonic distortion and imbalance, the effectiveness of the proposed DOB based current control scheme is demonstrated.

삼상 계통 연계 인버터에서 LCL 필터를 연결시키는 두 가지 방법이 존재한다. 하나는 일반적으로 사용하는 Y-결선 LCL 필터가 있고 다른 형태로 $\Delta$-결선 LCL 필터가 있다. Y-결선 LCL 필터를 사용하는 시스템의 모델은 계산되어 있는 반면에, $\Delta$-결선 LCL 필터를 사용하는 시스템의 모델은 공식화되어져 있지 않다. 그리하여 $\Delta$-결선 LCL 필터를 사용하는 시스템의 수학적인 모델을 제안한다. 또한 Y-결선 LCL 필터와 $\Delta$-결선 LCL 필터 각각의 커패시터에 흐르는 전류 고조파에 대한 비교를 포함한다. $\Delta$-결선 LCL 필터를 사용하는 시스템이 계통전류를 제어하는데 더 유리함을 실험을 통해 입증한다.

분산전원을 계통에 연계하기 위해서는 전류제어가 필수적이며, 최근에 고성능 DSP(Digital Signal Processors)를 기반으로 빠른 동특성을 만족시키는 예측전류제어에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 예측전류제어는 디지털 구현 시 발생하는 시지연, 파라미터 및 입력값의 오차, 노이즈에 의한 간섭으로 인해 제어 성능이 감소할 뿐만 아니라 시스템을 불안정하게 하는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 계통연계형 인버터 응용에 있어서 계통전압 관측기를 이용한 예측전류제어를 제안한다. 전압 관측기 이득 선정을 위해, 계통전압에 존재하는 저차 고조파에 의한 영향을 고려하며, 필터 파라미터 오차에 의한 영향을 분석한다. 제안된 방법은 빠른 전류응답특성 뿐만 아니라, 전압센서를 사용하지 않음으로 인해 노이즈에 강인하며 시스템 구현이 간단하고 계통의 저차 고조파에 강인한 전류제어성능을 갖는다. 제안된 방법의 타당성은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검증한다.

This paper presents the dynamic modeling, analysis, and control of an AC/DC/AC-assisted, self-excited induction generator connected to the grid. The dynamic model includes wind turbine models with pitch control, gear boxes, self-excited induction generators, excitation capacitance, inductive load models, controlled six-pulse rectifiers, and novel state-space models of a grid-connected inverter. The system has been simulated to verify its capabilities of buildup voltage, stator flux response, stator phase current, electromagnetic torque, and magnetizing inductance variation during both the dynamic and steady states with a variable-speed prime mover. The complete setup of the above dynamic models was simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
