In this paper, the new LLCL filter is proposed for grid connected three-phase PWM inverter for passive damping. LLCL filter inserts a small inductor in the branch of the capacitor of the traditional LCL filter to compose a series resonant circuit to reduce the switching-frequency component on grid current. Using LLCL filter, the switching-frequency current ripple components can be attenuated much better than the LCL filter, leading to a decrease in the total inductance. However, the resonance phenomena caused by zero impedance from the addition of LC branch in LLCL filter can be a big problem. Resonance phenomena of LLCL filter can be a source of grid system instability, so proper damping methods are required. However, it is difficult to apply a passive damping method in the conventional LLCL filter, because the damping resistor increase impedance of the LC branch. Therefore, switching frequency component of grid current can not much attenuated by low Q of LC series resonance effect. In this paper, a new LLCL filter is proposed to overcome the conventional LLCL filter with passive damping. The validity of the proposed method is proven by simulation and experimental result.

Recently, the use of LLCL filters for grid inverters has been suggested to give better harmonic attenuation than the commonly used L and LCL filters, particularly around the switching frequency. Nevertheless, this filter is mainly designed for constant switching frequency pulse width modulation (CSF PWM) methods. In variable switching frequency PWM (VSF PWM), the harmonic components are distributed across a wide frequency band which complicates the use of a high order filter, including LCL and LLCL filters. Recently, a confined band variable switching frequency (CB-VSF) PWM method has been proposed and demonstrated to be superior to the conventional constant switching frequency (CSF) PWM in terms of switching losses. However, the applicability of LLCL filters for this type of CB-VSF PWM has not been discussed. In this paper, the authors study the suitability of an LLCL filter for CB-VSF PWM and propose design guidelines for the filter parameters. Using simulation and experimental results, it is demonstrated that the effectiveness of an LLCL filter with CB-VSF PWM depends on the parameters of the filters as well as the designed variable frequency band of the PWM. Simulation results confirm the performance of the suggested LLCL design, which is further validated using a lab scale prototype.

계통 연계형 인버터에는 고조파 전류 저감을 위한 필터를 필요로 한다. 고조파 저감을 위한 필터로는 LCL 필터가 주로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 최근에 연구되고 있는 LLCL 필터의 경우 LCL 필터의 캐패시터 단에 직렬로 L을 추가한 형태로 LC 직렬공진을 통하여 LCL 필터에 비해 PWM 주파수 대역의 고조파를 좀 더 효과적으로 저감 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 기존연구에서는 LLCL 필터의 공진을 억제하기 위한 댐핑 방법 및 효과가 고려되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 PWM 주파수 고조파 저감효과는 댐핑저항이 없는 경우와 동일한 효과를 얻으면서, LLCL 필터의 공진을 효과적으로 억제하는 LLCL 필터를 제안하고, 그 타당성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증하였다.

In this paper, a comparative analysis of LCL and LLCL filters connected to three-level T-type PWM converters is presented, in which the filter inductor sizes are investigated in view of total harmonic distortion (THD) in grid phase currents. The analysis results are verified by simulation and experiments.

계통 연계형 인버터에서는 고조파 전류를 저감하기 위하여 필터가 필요하다. 이러한 고조파 저감을 위하여 LCL 필터나 LCL 필터의 커패시터 단에 직렬로 L을 추가한 직렬 공진을 이용한 LLCL 필터가 있다. 이러한 필터들은 특정 주파수 대역의 고조파를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며 기존의 L 필터보다 용량이 줄어든다. 본 논문에서는 단상 멀티 레벨 컨버터의 PWM 주파수 성분의 고조파 저감 효과를 갖는 L, LLCL 필터를 설계하고 비교한다.
