Frequency-dependent Feedforward Compensation for Reshaping the Output Impedance of Grid-connected Converter

Grid-connected converter is acting as the critical AC/DC interface in distributed power generation system. Aiming at solving the harmonic resonance over the wide-frequency band and the system instability problem caused by interactions between the grid impedance and the grid-connected converter, the influence of the traditional unit grid voltage feedforward (GVF) compensation on the magnitude-phase characteristic through the cascaded impedance model is revealed. The frequency-dependent feedforward compensation strategy based on the digital filter is further proposed, which includes the reduction of the gain and the delay of the low-frequency component of the grid voltage, and the increase of the delay of the high-frequency component of the grid voltage. The design guideline of the feedforward parameters is further elaborated, which reshapes the inverter output impedance to be passive. The adaptability to the variation of the grid impedance is enhanced, and the wide-frequency band harmonics under the weak grid are also suppressed. Simulation and experimental results finally verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed frequency-dependent GVF compensation strategy.
