Delay-Dependent Stability Of Single-Loop Controlled Grid-Connected Inverters With Lcl Filters

Abstract

An LCL-filter draws much attention in grid-connected applications, but the design faces challenges. The LCL and controller parameters are interdependent and inter-restricted as the grid current quality and control stability rely on the parameters of them both.

In the past, researchers found that extra sensors or complex algorithms were required for the stability when the LCL parameters were designed independently. Consequently, the system cost and complexity were increased. Indeed, the LCL-filter with the delay-dependent single-loop current control can be stable if the LCL parameters are properly selected. Based on this thought, this study proposes to design the LCL parameters by considering their impact on the stability and dynamic of the inverter.
