Grid-connected inverters are known to become unstable when the grid impedance is high. Existing approaches to analyzing such instability are based on inverter control models that account for the grid impedance and the coupling with other grid-connected inverters. A new method to determine inverter-grid system stability using only the inverter output impedance and the grid impedance is developed in this paper. It will be shown that a grid-connected inverter will remain stable if the ratio between the grid impedance and the inverter output impedance satisfies the Nyquist stability criterion. This new impedance-based stability criterion is a generalization to the existing stability criterion for voltage-source systems, and can be applied to all current-source systems. A single-phase solar inverter is studied to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

High-frequency-link (HFL) power conversion systems (PCSs) are attracting more and more attentions in academia and industry for high power density, reduced weight, and low noise without compromising efficiency, cost, and reliability. In HFL PCSs, dual-active-bridge (DAB) isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter (IBDC) serves as the core circuit. This paper gives an overview of DAB-IBDC for HFL PCSs. First, the research necessity and development history are introduced. Second, the research subjects about basic characterization, control strategy, soft-switching solution and variant, as well as hardware design and optimization are reviewed and analyzed. On this basis, several typical application schemes of DAB-IBDC for HPL PCSs are presented in a worldwide scope. Finally, design recommendations and future trends are presented. As the core circuit of HFL PCSs, DAB-IBDC has wide prospects. The large-scale practical application of DAB-IBDC for HFL PCSs is expected with the recent advances in solid-state semiconductors, magnetic and capacitive materials, and microelectronic technologies.

A novel versatile multilevel commutation cell is introduced: it is shown that this topology is safer and more simple to control, and delivers purer output waveforms. The authors show how this technique can be applied to either choppers or voltage-source inverters and generalized to any number of switches.<<ETX>>

Multi-level conversion : high voltage choppers and voltage-source inverters

In a DC distributed power system, the interaction between individually designed power modules/subsystems may cause the instability of the whole system. In a small-signal sense, system level stability is determined by the impedance ratio Z/sub o//Z/sub i/. Here, Z/sub o/ is the output impedance of the source module/subsystem, and Z/sub i/ is the input impedance of the load module/subsystem. As a result, an effective way to prevent system instability is defining impedance specifications for modules/subsystems. This paper briefly summarizes existing works and introduces the authors' contribution in defining impedance specifications. A new forbidden region for impedance ratio Z/sub o//Z/sub i/ on the S-plane is proposed as the system stability margin requirement. Based on this proposed forbidden region, the impedance specifications of individual loads are established. Further, a very practical measurement approach is developed to examine whether or not the system stability margin requirement of the forbidden region is satisfied.

In this paper, a generalized droop control (GDC) is proposed for a grid-supporting inverter based on a comparison between traditional droop control and virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control Both the traditional droop control and VSG control have their own advantages, but neither traditional droop control nor VSG control can meet the demand for different dynamic characteristics in grid-connected (GC) and stand-alone (SA) modes at the same time Rather than using a proportional controller with a low-pass filter, as in a traditional droop control, or fully mimicking the conventional synchronous generator parameters in a VSG control, the active power control loop of the GDC can be designed flexibly to adapt to different requirements With a well-designed controller, the GDC can achieve satisfactory control performance; unlike a traditional droop control, it can provide virtual inertia and damping properties in SA mode; unlike a VSG control, the output active power of an inverter with GDC can follow changing references quickly and accurately, without large overshoot or oscillation in the GC mode Moreover, given specific controller parameters, the GDC can function as both a traditional droop control and a VSG control The GDC's controller parameter design is more intuitive and flexible, and this paper provides a distinct design process Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is validated by the simulation and experimental results

A Generalized Droop Control for Grid-Supporting Inverter Based on Comparison Between Traditional Droop Control and Virtual Synchronous Generator Control

The series active power filter (APF) is suitable for compensating a voltage type harmonics-producing load, whereas the control approach it adopts may directly influence its compensation characteristics. This paper first discusses the control approach of detecting source current in terms of the basic operation principle of a series APF, then developing a control approach of detecting load voltage. On the basis of these, a hybrid control approach is proposed. In this approach, the reference signal of the compensation voltage needed by the series APF is obtained by detecting both source current and load voltage. Thus, this approach has the advantages of the first and the second control approaches and, at the same time, it can overcome their respective drawbacks. For practical realization, the control methods of the PWM inverter in the series APF and for regulating its DC side voltage are discussed in detail. A prototype of the series APF is manufactured and corresponding experimental investigation is done. The results show that when the series APF, if adopting the hybrid control approach instead of the other two, compensates for the voltage type harmonics-producing load, its performance can be improved greatly.

This paper presents a unified control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of three-phase inverter in distributed generation, with no need for switching between two corresponding controllers or critical islanding detection. The proposed control strategy composes of an inner inductor current loop, and a novel voltage loop in the synchronous reference frame. The inverter is regulated as a current source just by the inner inductor current loop in grid-tied operation, and the voltage controller is automatically activated to regulate the load voltage upon the occurrence of islanding. Furthermore, the waveforms of the grid current in the grid-tied mode and the load voltage in the islanding mode are distorted under nonlinear local load with the conventional strategy. And this issue is addressed by proposing a unified load current feedforward in this paper. Additionally, this paper presents the detailed analysis and the parameter design of the control strategy. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated by the simulation and experimental results.

A Unified Control Strategy for Three-Phase Inverter in Distributed Generation

Reactive power control through the static compensator (STATCOM) has gained wide attentions due to its outstanding performance. But for a STATCOM with traditional control strategies, unbalanced utility voltages will greatly affect the performance of the STATCOM and, in severe cases, may even cause the shutdown of the STATCOM for overcurrent protection. This paper proposes novel control strategies to ensure normal operation of STATCOM in three-phase three-wire systems when severe system voltage unbalance occurs and, furthermore, to mitigate voltage unbalance at the point of common coupling (PCC) whether it is caused by the utility or load. The control laws, operation principles, compensation characteristics, and operating point optimization of the proposed control strategies are analyzed and compared in detail. The power flow in the STATCOM and corresponding dc-side voltage-control schemes for these control strategies are also introduced. It is shown that the proposed voltage-controlled current source (VCCS) strategy and modified voltage-controlled voltage source strategy are valid for voltage unbalance compensation, especially the VCCS strategy for low rating under the same performance. Finally, the simulation and experimental investigations were carried out with these three parameter-optimized control strategies, respectively, for light and heavy load conditions. The results verified that the current passing through the STATCOM is under control and the voltage at the PCC is more balanced than before compensation. The compensation performance of the STATCOM is thus proven satisfactory
