A Non-Adaptive Single-Phase PLL Based on Discrete Half-Band Filtering to Suppress Severe Frequency Disturbances

Abstract

The interconnection of new generating and storing devices to the power grid imposes the necessity of synchronizing, so the power flow can be manipulated and distributed. In the presence of an increasingly perturbed electric grid, many proposals of novel and modified synchronization techniques attained enough robustness to deal with known perturbations. However, such proposals exhibit drawbacks on their own, leaving open enhancement opportunities, mostly over their discrete implementation—e.g., sampling issues and not-considered inter/harmonics—and their inherent complexity—e.g., the need for frequency adaptability. In this work, three traditional synchronous reference frame (SRF) phase-locked loops (PLL) are modified to implement discrete filtering, such as the well-known proposals based on moving average filters (MAFs), to avoid the problems mentioned above, known for affecting the MAF’s performance. This proposal makes use of discrete, efficient units modularly assembled to yield a signal’s average, based on elliptic half-band filters. The proposed PLLs were tested and exhibited clear advantages—robustness against frequency disturbances—over MAF-based equivalents at standardized tests over a typical simulation environment, setting through this work an initial milestone for its verification and further incorporation in more complex synchronization topologies.

Industrial power quality enhancement using fuzzy logic based photovoltaic integrated with three phase shunt hybrid active filter and adaptive controller

“…The notch filter (NF) [18] which is further introduced is found to be an effective approach for improving filtering capability, stability, and selective cancellation of harmonic components. The NFs can be divided into two major categories: non-adaptive NF (NNF) [19] and adaptive notch filter ANF [20][21]. The NNF offer a fast dynamic response and a high harmonic filtering capability.…”
