Phase-Locked Strategy of Photovoltaic Connected to Distribution Network With High Proportion Electric Arc Furnace

Abstract

With the rapid development of industrialization, the proportion of electric arc furnaces (EAF) in distribution networks is getting higher and higher. Aiming at the problem that grid voltage is distorted by a large number of arc furnace nonlinear loads accessing to distribution networks, it is crucial to make dynamic analysis of distribution network voltage and adopt a control strategy of grid-connected converter based on the new phase-locked loop (PLL) technology. As a result, the harmonic distortion rate is reduced and the quality of grid-connected current and voltage is improved. In this paper, photovoltaic (PV) system model and the typical dynamic model of the EAF are established. By analyzing the influence of the EAF model on the PV grid-connected converter with the traditional phase-locked loop while connected to distribution network, a control strategy of the PV grid-connected converter with the self-adjusting double SOGI (MAF-SASOGI) phase-locked loop with the ideal low-pass filter is proposed. Through the simulation analysis, it is verified that precise phase locked can be realized and harmonic content of the system can be reduced by the PLL strategy proposed in this paper. Therefore, the quality of PV grid-connected voltage and current is improved.
