A Current Decoupling Control Scheme for LCL-Type Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converter

Abstract

For better performance, different current control schemes are used in LCL-type grid-connected converters. However, these schemes are mostly used in three-phase grid-connected converters and multiple current sensors are needed. To address these issues, a current decoupling control scheme for single-phase grid-connected converters in rotating reference frame is proposed in the paper. Because an extended state observer is adopted in the control scheme, only one current sensor is needed and the complicated coupling relationships between the d axis components and q axis components can be eliminated completely. Moreover, to improve the dynamic and steady-state performance of converters, a state feedback closed-loop system structure and nonlinear controllers are adopted. The current decoupling control scheme is validated in an LCL-type single-phase grid-connected converter. The experimental results show that a fast-dynamic response under load change and voltage sag can be achieved besides preferable static performances with the proposed control scheme.
