Dynamic evaluation of LCL-type grid-connected inverters with different current feedback control schemes

Proportional-resonant (PR) compensator and LCL filter becomes a better choice in grid-connected inverter system with high performance and low costs. However, the resonance phenomenon caused by LCL filter affect the system stability significantly. In this paper, the stability problem of three typical current feedback control schemes in LCL grid-connected system are analyzed and compared systematically. Analysis in s-domain take the effect of the digital computation and modulation delay into account. The stability analysis is presented by root locus in the discrete domain, the optimal values of the controller and filter with different feedback configurations are provided. The impacts of digital delay, PR parameters and LCL parameters on different control strategies are also investigated. Finally, the theoretical analysis are validated by simulation results.
