Even though the LCL filters have superior harmonic attenuation ability to L filters, stability has always been an issue. The system could be unstable because of the resonance phenomenon, especially when digital controller is used. Adding a notch filter to the compensator is one approach to solve the problem. Resonance phenomenon can be inhibited by aligning notch frequency to system resonance frequency. However, resonance frequency variation can be obtained because the actual system has a nonstationary characteristic. Therefore, the system could be unstable, where the system parameters are changed when the conventional notch filter is used. An adaptive digital notch filter that stabilizes the system even system parameters are changed. Simulation and experiment results are provided to verify the validity of the proposed adaptive filter.

3상 PWM 컨버터에서 LCL필터 필름 커패시터는 Self-healing 메커니즘에 의해 열화가 진행되며, 이는 시스템의 필터성능과 역률 저하로 이어진다. 따라서 계통측 커패시터의 고장을 판단하고 교체시기를 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 정전용량의 80%에 해당하는 공진주파수를 한 주기 동안 주입하였을 때 나타나는 응답의 변화를 통해 커패시터의 열화고장진단 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

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.

This paper proposes an LCL-filter design for space vector pulse width modulation (SVM) in grid-connected three-phase inverter systems. Although there are a several studies in progress, the existing methods are erroneous because they do not focus on the other switching methods. This paper presents the design methodology for an LCL-filter that is optimized for SVM switching operations. The design procedure for the LCL-filter is presented step-by-step. The inverter-side inductor was determined by an analysis of the ripple components, mathematically. Based on the reactive power absorption ratio, the filter capacitor was determined. The grid-side inductor was determined by the ripple attenuation factor of the output current. Experimental results verify the validity of the design method for the LCL-filter.

This paper proposes a feedback linearization control scheme of AC/DC PWM converters with LCL input filters using no damping resisters. This feedback linearization scheme can eliminate the non-linearity of the system. So, the controller of the system can be designed by using linear control theory, which gives a good transient response. The cascade structure of the controller makes the converter current be controlled within a certain limit. To reduce the number of sensors, the source voltage and current is estimated. The validity of the proposed control algorithm is verified by simulation and experimental results.

최근 풍력발전등의 분산전원 설치가 많아짐에 따라 계통연계 인터페이스 필터에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 인터페이스 필터는 LCL 필터인 경우가 대다수인데 그 제작과 설치 비용이 만만치않음이 현실이다. 그 중 코어와 코일의 복합체인 인덕터의 설치에 노력과 비용이 가장 크게 들어간다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 최근의 하이브리드 타입의 코어에 착안하여 인덕터 설계에 있어서 페라이트/더스트코어 혹은 하이브리드타입 코어를 인입쪽의 인덕터(L1)요소로 하고 계통 인출쪽 인덕터(L2)를 규소강판으로 하는 혼합형 LCL 필터를 제안한다. 인입쪽의 L1C필터는 LPF로 작동하므로 L2를 저주파수용 규소강판으로 설계하여 결과적으로 비용을 저감함이 본 논문의 초점이다. 그 효과는 선형 재질을 사용한 PSIM 시스템 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 검증한다.

The conventional LCL filter design method of the utility interactive inverter considers only harmonics attenuation of the current injected to the grid. However, in case of utility-interactive inverter with critical load the voltage quality of the critical load should also be considered for LCL filter design. Also, considering cost and volume of LCL filters. it is important to have minimum values of inductance and capacitance as far as the harmonic standards are satisfied. In this paper a LCL filter design method is proposed to satisfy not only the harmonic standards of the grid current during the grid-connected mode but the voltage quality of the critical load during grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode. With the proposed method optimized values of LCL filters could be obtained by applying weighting factor to voltage ripple across the critical load, inductor volume, amount of reactive current and system bandwidth.

LCL filters are widely used in high-order harmonics attenuation of output currents in grid-connected inverters. However, output currents of grid-connected inverters with LCL filters can become unstable because of the resonance of the filters. Given that the characteristics of output currents in inverters mostly depend on filter performance, the exact analysis of filters by considering parasitic components is necessary for both harmonics attenuation and current control. LCL filters have three or four parasitic components: the series and/or parallel resistance of the filter capacitor and the series resistance of the two filter inductors. Most studies on LCL filters have focused on the parasitic components of the filter capacitor. Although several studies have addressed the parasitic components of the filter inductor at the inverter side, no study has yet investigated the concurrent effects of series resistance in both filter inductors in detail. This paper analyzes LCL filters by considering series resistance in both filter inductors; it proposes an active damping method based on the virtual series resistance of LCL filters. The performance of the proposed active damping is then verified through both simulation and experiment using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator(HILS).

This paper proposes a design of the three-parallel converter system and grid-connection technique for a PMSG based wind turbine systems. The back-to-back converter of the PMSG based wind turbine system is directly connected to the grid so that both the power devices and the filters are needed to have large power ratings. The three-parallel converter configuration can reduce the required power ratings of the devices and filters. However, the three-parallel converter can cause circulating currents. These circulating currents can be suppressed by sellecting proper inner inductance at each leg. An LCL filter design is used to meet the THD regulations. The latent resonance caused by the LCL filter is compensated by an active damping method without additional loss. The decline of the power quality caused by the unbalanced and distorted grid voltages is also compensated with an additional compensation algorithm. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system and compensation methods are effective for the wind turbine systems.
