LCL filters are widely used in three-phase PWM converter for its advantages of small volume, low cost and inhibition of high frequency current harmonic. However, it is difficult to optimize its design because its parameters are mutually influenced while the value of each parameter for LCL filter has impacts on the converter's cost and size. In this paper, the target of optimization is to minimize the parameter values of LCL filter, and an optimization method for parameters of LCL filter of three-phase PWM converter based on least square method is proposed. With this method, a quantitative calculation of the harmonic component of the converter’s side phase voltage is performed first, and then the quantitative relationship between phase voltage harmonics and grid phase current harmonics is analyzed. After that, the attenuation requirement of each harmonic is obtained by taking into account the requirements for each harmonic component of grid current. Then according to the optimization objective, the objective function with minimum harmonic attenuation deviation is established, and least squares method is adopted for three-dimensional global searching of parameters for LCL filter. Thus, the designed harmonic attenuation curve approximates the minimum attenuation requirements, and the optimized LCL filter parameters are obtained. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by the experiments.

This paper describes a design method of LCL filter for grid-connected three-phase PWM inverter. First, by analyzing the ripple component of phase voltages and currents according to the PWM pattern of grid-connected three-phase inverter, the RMS value of the current ripple can be calculated. Then based on the analysis, the current THD in the inverter-side can be defined. After that by analyzing the dependency between the current THD of the system and the current ripple attenuation, the parameter of LCL filter can be designed. Finally, the described LCL filter design method is verified by showing a good agreement between the target current $THD_g$ and the actual one through the simulation and experiment.

현재 계통 연계형 인버터에서 필터 크기를 줄이고 동적특성을 개선하며 필터의 성능향상을 하기 위해 LCL필터의 사용이 증가하고 있다. LCL필터를 설계함에 있어 계통측으로 흘러들어가는 전류의 THD를 줄이는 것이 설계의 주된 목적이지만, 인버터측의 인덕터에 흐르는 전류의 최대치를 고려함으로써 필터에서의 전력손실을 줄이고 시스템전체의 효율을 높게 가져갈 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 계통 연계형 인버터의 LCL 필터설계에 있어서 인버터측 인덕터의 전류 리플의 최대치를 분석하고 이를 고려하여 필터설계를 하고 있다. 이 설계를 통해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증한다.

일반적으로 AC DC PWM컨버터에서 입력단에 LCL 필터를 사용한다. LCL 필터 경우 L, C의 공진현상 때문에 스위칭 주파수 선정과 LCL소자 파라메터 선정에 신중함이 요구된다. 시스템의 안정도에 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 공진 현상을 억제 시킬 수 있는 방법으로 디지털 저역통과필터 이용하여 능동댐핑 기법을 적용한 전류 제어기를 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 통하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

계통연계형 인버터는 스위칭 주파수로 인한 출력단에 고조파를 함유하고 있기 때문에, 고조파 감소를 위한 수동필터가 필수적으로 필요하다. 이러한 수동 필터는 다양한 용량 및 부하, 넓은 범위의 입 출력 조건등 여러 가지 파라미터를 필요로 하기 때문에 LCL필터는 설계가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 임피던스 크기, 스위칭 고조파 제한, 기본파 성분에 대한 고조파 제한의 3가지 구속조건에 따른 LCL필터를 설계방법을 제안하며, 이를 실제 시뮬레이션을 통해 계통 연계형 LCL필터로서의 타당성을 검증할 것이다.

This paper proposes a simple active damping algorithm for small-scale wind power systems with an LCL filter. Compared to an L filter or an LC filter, an LCL filter can decrease the harmonics induced by low switching frequencies and produce a satisfactory grid-side current using a comparatively low inductance. Additional active damping of the filter resonance is necessary when an LCL filter is used. This paper introduces an active damping method using a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) filter to improve performance without additional sensors or complexity. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm as an active damping method.

Although all costs concerned in transportation be separated by region and each terms and conditions of Incoterms that state cleary them who have to pay the charges. But, almost lcl exporters donot want to pay their charges the carriers at loading port eventhough they make the contracts with the importer as FOB and CFR of Incoterms. And the carrier have been do not bill the FOB charges to the shipper. Now, there are no more Incoterms in LCL transportation. So, the importer have been payed loading port charges twice, first, the contract with the shipper, secondly, through the destination charge. These problems make decreasing of trading volume and increasing of logistics costs. We suggest every traders and carriers separate the costs as per the price terms and conditions of incoterms and bill/receive the costs separated the trader who have to pay the charges as per their price terms. It will bring mutual success in the world and increasing trade.

계통연계형 인버터는 전류의 리플 저감을 위하여 필터를 사용하는데, 구조가 간단하여 많이 사용되던 기존의 L필터는 인버터의 정격이 증가함에 따라 필터의 크기도 증가되고 큰 인덕턴스 값으로 인하여 좋지 않은 동특성을 갖게 된다. 따라서 발전용 PCS등 대용량의 경우 작은 인덕턴스로 동일한 고조파특성을 가질 수 있는 LCL 필터를 사용하는 것이 유리하다. 그러나 LCL필터의 사용 시 공진이 발생할 수 있으나 이러한 문제에 관해서 다루어진 예가 많지 않다. 본 논문에서는 대용량 계통연계 인버터의 LCL 필터 설계 및 노치필터를 이용한 액티브댐핑의 원리를 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper discussed the LCL-type & Isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter(BDC) with dual full bridge inverter. In order to verify the analysis of the BDC, Experimental prototype has been designed and implemented to supply constant voltage regardless of loads and proposed a method to select switching frequency that depended on two inductors' inductance ratio and transformer parameters. The proposed converter has been composed of LCL resonant network with unit inductance ratio ($L_r/L_f$=1) and then operated with fixed duty, 50% duty ratio and fixed frequency. There are some characteristics that input voltage and output voltage of the BDC is nearly identical and zero voltage turn-on switching is possible in forward and reverse mode. Finally, it has been showed that BDC is possible to commutate operating mode normally and provide constant output voltage in selected switching frequency.

This paper proposes a design scheme for an LCL-filter used for the three-parallel operation of the power converters in high-capacity wind turbines. The designs of the power devices and grid connected filter are difficult due to the high level voltages and currents in huge-capacity wind turbines. To solve these problem, this paper presents three-parallel operation and LCL-filter design techniques optimized by parallel operation. Furthermore, the design of an inverter side inductance of the LCL-filter is discussed in detail considering the switching modulation method. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the designed filter and wind turbines.
