Enhanced Frequency Adaptive Demodulation Technique for Grid-Connected Converters

Abstract

This paper presents an enhanced frequency adaptive demodulation technique for grid-synchronization of grid-connected converters (GCC) in variable frequency condition. Demodulation works by generating demodulated voltages which contain undesired double frequency components. As a result, high-order low-pass filters (LPF) with high cutoff frequency are required to eliminate the undesired components. This reduces the dynamic performance. Frequency adaptive demodulation technique enhances the dynamic performance by rejecting the double frequency components as opposed to filtering, however, at the cost of additional computational complexity. This paper overcomes this problem by using double demodulation without recreating the double frequency component for rejection purpose. This reduces the computational complexity significantly. Suitability of proposed method is verified through numerical simulation and experimental study. Comparative study with existing frequency adaptive demodulation and second-order generalized integrator phase-locked loop (SOGI-PLL) techniques demonstrate the validity and performance improvement by the proposed technique.

On Biased Harmonic Signal Estimation: Application to Electric Power Grid Monitoring

“…As we can conclude from the result of Theorem 5, the implicitly discretized version (9) of the algorithm (3) recovers all properties stated in Theorem 1 and Corollary 2. For example, the condition (5) can be written in discrete time as +∞ j=k 0 ϕ 2 (j) = +∞, which definitely implies (11). The noise gain multiplier √ γi is also presented in both theorems, 1 and 5, and an arbitrary increase of the estimation error convergence rate can be obtained by augmentation of the value of γi.…”

“…Several estimators are available in the literature due to the importance of the harmonic signal parameter estimation problem. Some of the existing continuous-time techniques are: adaptive observer [9], algebraic estimator [10], demodulation [11], adaptive notch filter (ANF) [12], second-order generalized integrator frequencylocked loop (SOGI-FLL) [13], enhanced phase-locked loop [14]. Many of these techniques have local stability properties.…”

On robust synchronization of nonlinear systems with application to grid integration of renewable energy sources

“…Renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar photovoltaics (PV) will play a vital role in achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. RES are connected to the existing alternating current (AC) grid through a voltage source inverter (VSI) [43,44,45]. An efficient operation of the RES-interfaced VSI can only be guaranteed when the output of the VSI matches in-phase with the grid voltage signal.…”
