LCL FILTER RESONANCE MITIGATION TECHNIQUE FOR VOLTAGE SOURCE CONVERTERS

摘要

Control apparatus, techniques and computer readable mediums are presented to mitigate LCL filter resonance issue for voltage source converters. Two level voltage source converter with and without passive damping of LCL filter are selected for the comparative study. Control algorithms are presented to estimate the source impedance based on variable carrier PWM. Estimated source impedance is used to tune the control of the VSC to avoid the resonance of LCL filter has been presented. In situations in which LCL resonance cannot be avoided by tuning the control parameters, energy efficient techniques are disclosed to provide selective passive damping to facilitate continued power conversion system operation without significant adverse impact on system performance.
