Abstract
Under weak grid condition, negative influence is brought in on system stability because the grid impedance and the grid-connected converter control system are coupled to each other. The key factor affecting the stability of the system is the perturbation of the voltage fluctuation at the point of common coupling (PCC) to the phase-locked loop (PLL) and the dc-link voltage loop. In this article, the impedance model of a three-phase grid-connected converter, including the current loop, PLL, and dc-link voltage loop in the dq frame, is adopted, because it includes coupling information of the converter and reflects the transferring relationship among grid-connected system variables. Based on the transferring relationship, this article analyzes the perturbation paths of PCC voltage and proposes the corresponding compensation methods, i.e., the PLL and dc-link voltage loop compensation terms, which are inserted into the q and d axes of the current loop controller, respectively. The impedance analysis results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the system stability. In addition, the experimental results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
