Estratégia de controle para inversores monofásicos conectados a redes com ampla faixa de parâmetros

Abstract

This work presents the design and analysis of a control strategy for single-phase inverters connected to the electric power distribution network. The strategy is designed to comply with the harmonic limits of the IEEE 1547.2-2008 standard and at the same time support a range of grid parameters variation such as frequency, resistance and inductance. In this sense, the strategy involves a set of techniques such as: a phase and frequency syn- chronizer; current and power controllers with harmonic compensation; active damping; current estimator; digital filter; among others. For this control strategy, a resonant pro- portional controller (PR) and a second-order phase-frequency synchronizer (MSOGI-FLL) with the capacity to withstand usual frequency variations were chosen. Furthermore, a LCL-LC passive connection filter and a harmonic compensation algorithm (HC) are used to comply with the harmonic limits. To increase the stability of the system an active damping technique is used. To implement this active damping technique, it is proposed a new estimator of the filter capacitor current with an easy implementation and support for electrical grid impedance variations between weak grids and strong grids. This work contributes to the PR controller with active damping gains design seeking stability in a wide range of parameters of the electrical grid that characterizes from a weak grid to a strong grid. For experimental validation of the proposed strategy a prototype of a 1 kW single-phase inverter was built, with characteristics of commercial products, such as cost and dimensions restrictions. The operation of the power converter and the proposed control strategy was verified through experimental results. The various results presented in the paper corroborate the good performance of the system analyzed in computational simulations. The total harmonic distortion (DHT) of the current waveform is lower than % in all analyzed cases, meeting the IEEE 1547.2-2008 standard.
