This paper deals with filter design for utility-interactive voltage-sourced PWM inverters built by single-phase half-bridge topology. By analyzing the relation between utility voltage and the ac output voltage of single-phase half-bridge inverters, the instantaneous voltage applied on the filter inductor is deduced qualitatively and quantitatively. Moreover, switching ripple current through the filter inductor is calculated from the filter inductor voltage. Based on the above mentioned analysis, filter design method is proposed by evaluating the percentage of the switching ripple current against the rated fundamental current. Proposed filter design method is verified by simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes an indirect current control technique based on a proportional resonant (PR) approach for the seamless mode transfer of utility interactive inverters. Direct-current and voltage hybrid control methods have been used for inverter control under grid-connected and islanded modes. A large bandwidth can be selected due to the structure of single-loop control. However, this results in poor dynamic transients due to sudden changes of the controller during mode changes. Therefore, inverter control based on indirect current is proposed to improve the dynamic transients by consistently controlling the output voltage under all of the operation modes. A PR-based indirect current control topology is used in this study to maintain the load voltage quality under all of the modes. The design processes of the PR-based triple loop are analyzed in detail while considering the system stability and dynamic transients. The mode transfer techniques are described in detail for both sudden unintentional islanding and islanded mode voltage quality improvements. In addition, they are described using the proposed indirect control structure. The proposed method is verified by the PSiM simulations and laboratory-scale VDER-HILS experiments.

Distributed generation (DG) systems go to intentional islanding operation to back up private emergency loads when the main grid is out of electric power. Conventional utility interactive inverters normally operated in current control mode in DG system must change their operation mode into voltage control mode to ensure stable voltage source to the emergency loads when intentional islanding operation occurs. During the transfer between current control mode and voltage control mode, serious transient problem may occur on the output terminal voltage of the utility interactive inverter. This paper proposes reasonal inverter topology and its control algorithm for seamless transfer of DG systems in intentional islanding operation. Filter design guide line and data for a LCL filter that is appropriate for the proposed control algorithm are also presented by the authors.

Recently, the study of islanding phenomenon, maintains its operation even when the utility grid is removed has lead to the trend of utility interactive inverters in photovoltaic generation systems. In this paper, a novel Anti-islanding method is presented. the proposed method can keep the real average power component constant by MPPT control and cause the load current frequency with only change of reactive power component under the islanding condition. its periodical change of Reactive power component can decrease the NDZ(Non-Detective zone) so that the detection of various loads will be possible. the insufficient effect if additional reactive power component to the grid is proved theoretically and the islanding detection is also confirmed from a experimental result with a inverter for 3kW photovoltaic generation system applied the proposed Anti-islanding method.

This study presents a strategy using the synchronized output regulation method (SOR) for controlling inverters operating in stand-alone and grid-connected modes. From the view point of networked dynamic systems, SOR involves nodes with outputs that are synchronized but also display a desirable wave shape. Under the SOR strategy, the inverter and grid are treated as two nodes that comprise a simple network. These two nodes work independently under the stand-alone mode. An intermediate mode, here is named the synchronization mode, is emphasized because the transition from the stand-alone mode to the grid-connected mode can be dealt as a standard SOR problem. In the grid-connected mode, the inverter operates in an independent way, in which the voltage reference changes for generalized synchronization where its output current satisfies the required power injection. Such a relatively independent design leads to a seamless transfer between operation modes. The closed-loop system is analyzed in the state space on the basis of the output regulation theory, which improves the robustness of the design. Simulations and experiments are performed to verify the proposed control strategy.

수 MW이상의 인버터 시스템을 구성하기 위해서는 계통연계형 인버터 다수가 PCC에 연결되어 계통과 연결된다. 이러한 경우 단일 인버터의 공진주파수가 LCL필터 값에 의해 결정되는 반면 각각의 인버터들이 서로 영향을 주고받아 공진주파수가 변화한다. 또한 공진주파수가 상용주파수에 가까워짐에 따라 시스템이 불안정해지고 기존의 액티브 댐핑기법으로 공진성분을 억제할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 인버터가 계통연계 시 발생하는 공진 현상을 인버터 모델링을 통해 분석하고, 이러한 시스템에 적합한 액티브 댐핑기법을 제안한다.
