Abstract: |
Fast and accurate monitoring of the phase, amplitude, and frequency of the grid voltage is essential for single-phase grid-connected converters. The presence of DC offset in the grid voltage is detrimental to not only grid synchronization but also the closed-loop stability of the grid-connected converters. In this paper, a new synchronization method to mitigate the effect of DC offset is presented using arbitrarily delayed signal cancelation (ADSC) in a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) phase-locked loop (PLL). A frequency-fixed SOGI-based PLL (FFSOGI-PLL) is adopted to ensure better stability and to reduce the complexity compared with other SOGI-based PLLs. A small-signal model of the proposed PLL is derived for the systematic design of proportional-integral (PI) controller gains. The effects of frequency variation and ADSC on the proposed PLL are considered, and correction methods are adopted to accurately estimate grid information. The simulation results are presented, along with comparisons to other single-phase PLLs in terms of settling time, peak frequency, and phase error to validate the proposed PLL. The dynamic performance of the proposed PLL is also experimentally validated. Overall, the proposed PLL has the fastest transient response and better dynamic performance than the other PLLs for almost all performance indices, offering an improved solution for precise grid synchronization in single-phase applications. |
