Impedance-Based Stability Analysis of Grid-Connected Inverters under the Unbalanced Grid Condition
Source abstract
Abstract
As a common interface circuit for renewable energy integrated into the power grid, the inverter is prone to work under a three-phase unbalanced weak grid. In this paper, the instability of grid-connected inverters under the unbalanced grid condition is investigated. First, a dual second-order generalized integrator phase-locked loop (DSOGI-PLL)-based inverter under balanced and unbalanced conditions is modeled. A fourth-order impedance model is established to describe its impedance characteristics under the unbalanced grid condition. To analyze this multi-input multi-output system, a simplified stability analysis method based on the generalized Nyquist stability criterion and matrix theory is proposed. Then, the influences of circuit and control parameters on the stability of the grid-connected inverter system under the unbalanced grid condition are investigated. Finally, the accuracy of the derived frequency-coupled impedance model is verified via simulations, and the effectiveness of the proposed simplified stability analysis method on the system stability analysis is verified via both simulations and hardware experiments.
