Abstract
Phase tracking system or phase locked loop (PLL) is an important part of the control unit of a grid connected power converter. Popular methods such as zero crossing detection (ZCD) and synchronous reference frame (SRF) PLL do not produce accurate phase information when grid is non-ideal. In this work a method to obtain accurate phase information when the grid voltages are unbalanced by adding a moving average filter to a SRF PLL has been proposed. The performances of the PLL have been experimentally verified for abnormal grid conditions such as unbalance, harmonics, voltage sag and swell, faults etc. Generally, during a fault phase voltages become unbalanced so this method can give better fault ride through capability to a power converter.

Three-Phase PLLs: A Review of Recent Advances

TL;DR: A phase-locked loop (PLL) is a nonlinear negative feedback control system that synchronizes its output in frequency as well as in phase with its input PLLs are now widely used for the synchronization of power-electronics-based converters and also for monitoring and control purposes in different engineering fields as mentioned in this paper.

Grid-Synchronization Stability Analysis and Loop Shaping for PLL-Based Power Converters With Different Reactive Power Control

TL;DR: A single-input–single-output model is developed to explicitly reveal how the PLL interacts with the other parts of the converter system in terms of grid synchronization and demonstrates how the loop shaping of PLL takes effect in increasing the stability margin and eventually preventing the converter from GSI.
