The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference Comprehensive Analysis of Virtual Impedance-Based Active Damping for LCL Resonance in Grid-Connected Inverters Teng Liu*, Zeng Liu, Jinjun Liu, Yiming Tu, Zipeng Liu State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation and Power Equipment, Xi’an Jiaotong University Xi’an, China *E-mail: teng.liu@stu.xjtu.edu.cn Abstract—LCL filters have been widely applied as the interface between voltage source inverters (VSIs) and power grid. However, inherent LCL resonance complicates the design of current control or even threatens system stability. Extensive approaches have been proposed to deal with the resonance, among which the active damping (AD) methods realized by the feedback of filter state variables are proved to be effective and robust. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of such AD by utilizing its virtual circuit property is presented. It is found that different filter state variables can be selected to achieve the effective damping functions by emulating proper virtual impedances (VIs). Meanwhile, the connection of the VI with the LCL network is not restricted by the selected state variable but mainly dependent on the applied AD controller, which, in result, enables a thorough investigation of such VI-based AD methods. Consequently, all possible forms of the AD controller to realize different connection types by utilizing different state variables are derived. The optimal selection of the AD controller together with the specific state variable is further analyzed, where the obtained results can be used to guide the design of such AD in practice. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical analyses are verified by the experimental results. Keywords—active damping, grid-connected inverters, LCL resonance, virtual impedance. I. INTRODUCTION With fast development of distributed power generation systems (DPGSs), voltage source inverters (VSIs) have been widely used for integrating DPGSs into power grid [1]. To meet the grid codes, output filters should be equipped with VSIs. Compared with traditional L filters, LCL filters can provide better attenuation of switching ripples with smaller volumes and lower costs [2]-[3]. However, inherent LCL resonance characteristic imposes constraints on the current controller design, which may limit the current control loop bandwidth or even cause an unstable system [4]. To suppress the LCL resonance, extensive researches have been conducted [5]-[15]. One direct way is the socalled passive damping, which is realized by inserting passive resistors into the LCL filter network [5]. Even This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 51437007. ©2018 IEEJ 2681 though it owns the merits of simple implementation and good robustness, it may not be preferred due to the inevitable extra power losses, especially in high-power applications [6]. An alternative way is the active damping (AD) to obtain a more efficient system. The existing AD methods can be divided into two main categories. One type is implemented by cascading a digital filter with the current regulator aiming at filtering out the LCL resonant peak [6]. However, system parameters should be well known to design the digital filter, which also makes such kind of AD methods quite sensitive to the variation of the system parameters. Another type is realized by feeding back the LCL filter state variables to form a dual-loop control [7][15]. It has been proved that different state variables, such as the inverter-side current [7], the filter capacitor current [8]-[12], the filter capacitor voltage [13], or the grid-side current [14]-[15], can all be selected to realize the effective damping performance. However, it should be noticed that different state variables need different AD controllers to achieve an effective damping performance. For example, when the capacitor current or the inverterside current is fed back, the AD controller is usually implemented by a proportional gain [7]-[9]. However, when the feedback state variable is changed to the gridside current, the AD controller should be modified to a first-order high-pass filter with negative sign accordingly [14]-[15]. Therefore, it is worthwhile to figure out all the possible forms of the AD controller when the feedback state variable to achieve the AD is determined. An intuitive way to obtain appropriate forms of the AD controller is based on its equivalent virtual circuit. In [8], it has been proved that the proportional capacitorcurrent-feedback AD is equivalent to adding a virtual resistor in parallel with the filter capacitor when the time delay effect is neglected. The formed virtual resistor can thus dampen the LCL resonance effectively. When the feedback variable is changed to the inverter-side current, a proportional AD controller can also emulate a virtual resistor in series with the inverter-side filter inductor [7]. Recently, the equivalent virtual circuit property has also been revealed when the grid-side current is fed back by a first-order high-pass filter with negative sign, which is The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference equivalent to adding a virtual impedance (VI) in parallel with the grid-side filter inductor. And this VI consists of a series RL damper in parallel with a negative inductance [15]. Therefore, the VI in different connections with LCL filter has specific relationships with the AD controller. To thoroughly reveal all the possible AD controllers with different state variables for the effective damping, this paper proposes a mathematical way to derive the forms of the AD controller based on the virtual circuit property. It is obtained that an arbitrary state variable can be applied to emulate a VI in different connections with LCL filter network through different AD controllers, and the connection types will not be limited by the selected state variable. For instance, the feedback of the filter capacitor current can not only emulate a VI in series or parallel with the capacitor, but can also realize possible connections of VI with the inverter-side or grid-side filter inductor through proper AD controllers. As a result, all possible forms of the AD controller with different state variables are derived. Further, the optimal selection of the AD controller considering the availability of the sensors for measuring the filter state variable is analyzed, where the obtained conclusions can provide a guideline for the design of such AD in practice. Finally, experimental results validate the correctness of the theoretical analyses. II. kr s s 2 + ω0 2 (a) (b) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Fig.1 shows the system structure of a three-phase gridconnected VSI system, where the inverter-side inductor L1, the grid-side inductor L2, and the filter capacitor Cf make up the LCL filters. Lg represents the grid impedance. The dc-link voltage Vdc is assumed to be constant for simplicity. vpcc is the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage, whose phase angle θ is usually acquired by the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRFPLL) for synchronizing the VSI with the grid. In practice, the bandwidth of the SRF-PLL is always designed much slower than that of the inner current control loop, which means the effect of the SRF-PLL on the high frequency resonance can be neglected [16]. For current regulation, either the inverter-side current i1 or the grid-side current i2 can be controlled to inject the demand power into the grid, where the control scheme can be implemented either in the stationary αβ frame or in the rotating dq frame. In this paper, the current control in the αβ frame is chosen to avoid nonlinearity introduced by the dq transformation. Herein, assuming a three-phase balanced grid-connected VSI system, the per-phase block diagrams of the current control with different AD, which are shown in Fig. 2, can thus be used for the following analyses. Gc(s) is the current regulator implemented with a proportional-resonant (PR) controller expressed as Gc ( s ) = k p + Fig. 1. System structure of a three-phase grid-connected VSI. (1) where ω0 is the grid fundamental angular frequency. Gd(s) is time delay effect existed in the digitally controlled VSI, which includes both the computational and PWM delays. 2682 Fig. 2. Per-phase block diagrams of the current control with different AD. (a) grid-side current control. (b) inverter-side current control. When the synchronous sampling scheme is applied, Gd(s) can be expressed as Gd ( s ) = e−1.5Ts s (2) where Ts is the sampling period [8]. It is worthwhile to notice that the selection of the state variable used for achieving the AD purpose is flexible when i2 is fed back to control the injected power as shown in Fig. 2(a). In this case, i1, i2, filter capacitor current icf, or filter capacitor voltage vcf can all be adopted to realize the effective damping performance. However, when the regulated current is changed to i1, the same state variable i1 may be the only choice to realize the AD simultaneously, as the current or voltage sensors to detect the other state variables may not be installed in most practical applications for saving the cost. The relevant current control diagram is shown in Fig. 2(b), where the AD controller Gad(s) is usually implemented by a simple proportional gain [7]. The proportional feedback of i1 is equivalent to adding a virtual resistor in series with L1 when the time delay effect is neglected, which thus can dampen the LCL resonance effectively. According to the above analyses, this paper mainly focuses on the situation where i2 is fed back to control the injected power. It is known that different state variables need different forms of Gad(s) to achieve the effective damping performance. However, most of the existing literatures presented Gad(s) directly without giving any explanation, which may not be helpful for a deeper insight of such AD methods. Hence, this paper derives all The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference possible forms of Gad(s) with the different state variables based on the equivalent virtual circuit property, which will be demonstrated in the following part. III. G p _ m ( s) = Gad ( s ) = A. Derivation of Gad(s) With Different State Variables To derive possible forms of Gad(s) with different state variables intuitively, Fig. 2(a) is equivalently transformed as shown in Fig. 3, where Gp(s) is the transfer function from the output voltage of the VSI vo(s) to i2(s), and Gt(s) represents the transfer function from i2(s) to the certain state variable fed back for realizing the AD. Herein, Gp(s) can be derived based on Fig. 2(a), which is expressed as i2 ( s ) 1 = vo ( s ) s ( L1 L2 C f s 2 + L1 + L2 ) (5) 1 1 1 ⋅( − ) Gd ( s ) ⋅ Gt ( s ) G p _ m ( s ) G p ( s ) (6) Further, if i2 is fed back to realize the AD purpose, which makes Gt(s) = 1, the form of Gad(s) can finally be obtained as Gad ( s ) = (3) Fig. 3 can be further transformed to Fig. 4 to reveal the equivalent virtual circuit property introduced by the AD. Based on Fig. 4, it is clear that the components inside the dashed box can be regarded as the modified virtual power plant which is also represented by the transfer function from vo(s) to i2(s). Hence, the characteristic of the virtual power plant Gp_m(s), which is modified by the AD, can be derived as G p _ m ( s) = s C f L1 L2 Z v s + L1 L2 s + ( L1 + L2 ) Z v Based on (3), (4) and (5), the form of Gad(s) to realize such Zv(s) in parallel with Cf can be derived as DERIVATION AND OPTIMAL SELECTION OF Gad(s) WITH DIFFERENT STATE VARIABLES G p (s) = Zv 2 G p ( s) i2 ( s ) (4) = vo ( s ) 1 + G p ( s ) ⋅ Gad ( s ) ⋅ Gd ( s ) ⋅ Gt ( s ) Meanwhile, Gp_m(s) can also be obtained based on the introduced equivalent virtual circuit of the LCL filter network. In this paper, implementing a virtual impedance Zv(s) in parallel with Cf is taken as an example to demonstrate the derivation process of Gad(s). The relevant virtual circuit of the LCL filter network is shown in Fig. 5, based on which Gp_m(s) can be obtained as L1 L2 s 2 Zv (7) where Gd(s) = 1 is assumed. Even though the time delay will change the final form of the VI, and may also have negative effect on the damping performance due to the resulted negative virtual resistor in high frequency range [8], this assumption is still acceptable to derive the basic form of Gad(s), as the time delay effect can be partly compensated by different delay compensation techniques [8], [17]. In this paper, a lead-lag compensator proposed in [17] is directly cascaded with Gad(s) in the final control scheme to reduce the time delay effect. From the above derivation process, it can be found that, even though the feedback state variable for the AD is the grid-side current, the formed virtual impedance can still be in parallel with Cf, which means the connection type of Zv(s) with LCL filter network will not be limited by the selected state variable. Consequently, all the possible forms of Gad(s) with different state variables can be derived by following the similar process. The obtained results are listed in Table I. It is clear that the connection type of Zv(s) is mainly dependent on the specific form of Gad(s) rather than the selected state variable. With a proper Gad(s), an arbitrary state variable can be fed back to emulate Zv(s) in any connection with the LCL filter for achieving the effective damping performance. B. Optimal Selection of Gad(s) After obtaining possible forms of Gad(s) with different state variables, the optimal selection of Gad(s) should be discussed. As suppressing the LCL resonance is the main topic of this paper, Zv(s) is realized as a virtual resistor, i.e., Zv(s) = Rv. Other possible Zv(s), such as a virtual inductor or a more complicated VI for different purposes, will be investigated in the further work. The first criterion for the optimal selection of Gad(s) is the complexity to implement Gad(s). The comparisons are made among different Gad(s) with the same state variable. For example, when i2 is selected to realize the AD, three forms of Gad(s), which make the formed virtual resistor in series with L1, in series with L2 or in parallel with Cf, are much simpler than the other three forms of Gad(s). When the state variable is changed to icf, a proportional gain L1/(CfRv) is the simplest form of Gad(s). Consequently, all the simpler forms of Gad(s) are marked in red in Table I. Fig. 3. Equivalent control block diagram of Fig. 2(a). Fig. 4. Equivalent block diagram transformation to reveal the virtual circuit property of the AD. Fig. 5. Equivalent virtual circuit of the LCL filter network when Zv(s) is in parallel with Cf. 2683 The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference TABLE I DIFFERENT FORMS OF Gad(s) WITH DIFFERENT STATE VARIABLES USED FOR ACTIVE DAMPING Variable used for the active damping Virtual impedance connection type Grid-side current i2 In series with L1 (1 + L2 C f s ) ⋅ Z v (1 + 2 2 In parallel with L1 Capacitor current icf − 2 (1 + L2 C f s ) ⋅ L1 s ) ⋅ Zv L2 C f s 2 2 − 2 − L1 L2 C f s + L2 C f Z v 2 2 In parallel with L2 In series with Cf In parallel with Cf − 2 (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ L2 s L2 s + Z v − 2 f C L1 L2 Z v s L1 L2 s Zv − (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ L2 L2 C f s + C f Z v 4 C f Zv s + 1 2 2 2 − C f L1 Z v s − L1 2 (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ L2 s 2 f C L1 L2 Z v s (1 + L2 C f s 2 ) ⋅ (C f Z v s + 1) 2 L1 L2 s + L2 Z v L2 s+ 1 L2 s ) ⋅ Zv 2 − (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ sL2 L2 s + Z v 2 4 − C f L1 Z v s 3 C f Zv s + 1 2 L1 s 2 Zv (1 + L2 C f s ) ⋅ Z v It can be concluded that a simple proportional gain can be regarded as an optimal selection of Gad(s) when icf or i1 is selected to realize the AD. However, if the state variable is changed to vcf or i2, there exist three possible selections of Gad(s) which can meet the requirement of simplicity. To further compare these three Gad(s), the frequency responses of Gp_m(s) with different connections of the virtual resistor are plotted in Fig. 6 respectively. It is seen that Gad(s) to form a virtual resistor in parallel with Cf can easily achieve the satisfied damping performance. For the other two connections, even though the formed Rv can dampen the resonant peak, it will cause a flat and small magnitude gain in the low frequency range, which may lead to a relatively low current control bandwidth when the PR controller is adopted as the current regulator. Therefore, a virtual resistor connected in parallel with Cf is much preferred among all the connection types. However, it should also be noticed that, when Rv is in ) ⋅ Zv (1 + L2 C f s ) ⋅ sL1 L1C f 2 (1 + L2 C f s 2 ) ⋅ ( L2 s + Z v ) L1 L2 s C f Zv ( 2 2 − 2 C f Zv s + 1 − L1 s + Z v 1 + L2 C f s 1 L2 s 2 L21 s 2 (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ Z v 2 L2 C f s (C f s + 2 (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ Z v 2 (1 + L1C f s ) ⋅ Z v In series with L2 Capacitor voltage vcf Zv (1 + L2 C f s ) ⋅ L1 2 L1 s + Z v 1 Inverter-side current i1 parallel with Cf, Gad(s) will contain the derivative term if the selected state variable is vcf or i2. And this derivative term is not practically feasible due to the possible noise amplification. Fortunately, this limitation can be solved by approximating the derivative term with a non-ideal generalized integrator [18]. To sum up, if the capacitor current sensor is available, Gad(s) realized only by a simple proportional gain can be regarded as the first choice to obtain a satisfied damping performance. However, in practice, the capacitor current sensor is usually unavailable for the purpose of saving the cost. At this time, the current sensor for i2 or the voltage sensor for vcf may be applied, where a virtual resistor in parallel with Cf is preferred to dampen the LCL resonant peak. If there is only the current sensor for i1 available, the optimal selection of Gad(s) may be a proportional gain due to the simplest implementation. IV. CASE STUDY OF THE GRID-SIDE CURRENT FEEDBACK ACTIVE DAMPING As many existing literatures have already presented the AD realized by the feedback of icf or i1, this paper only presents the grid-side current i2 for realizing the AD to demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical analyses. It should be mentioned that choosing i2 as the feedback variable can avoid the extra sensors, which thus can save the system cost. A. Grid-side Current Feedback Active Damping The per-phase block diagram of the grid-side current control with the grid-side current feedback AD is shown in Fig. 7. It is seen that the grid-side current i2 is fed back for both injected power regulation and active damping purposes. Herein, the time delay Gd(s) is considered to make the analysis more close to the real case. Based on Table I, Gad(s) for obtaining a virtual resistor Fig. 6. Frequency responses of Gp_m(s) with different connections of the virtual resistor. 2684 The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference where λ is defined as the compensation coefficient. A smaller λ means a better compensation capability. Kc is used to attenuate the high frequency noise amplification, whose value should be smaller than 1. B. Damping Performance Evaluation To illustrate the damping performance of this grid-side current feedback AD, the current control loop gain T(s) can be derived based on Fig. 7, which is expressed as Fig. 7. Per-phase block diagram of the grid-side current control with the grid-side current feedback active damping. T ( s ) = Gc ( s ) ⋅ in parallel with Cf can be expressed as L1 L2 s 2 Rv (8) where Rv is the emulated virtual resistor. Its value can be determined by the desired damping coefficient. As mentioned above, the derivative term s2 in (8) can not be directly realized due to the severe high frequency noise amplification. To solve this issue, a second-order transfer function proposed in [19] is adopted to replace s2 term. Consequently, the final form of Gad_x(s) can be expressed as Gad _ x ( s ) = ω 2 ⋅ s2 L1 L2 ⋅ 2 c Rv s + ζ s + ωc2 1 + Gad ( s ) ⋅ Gcomp ( s ) ⋅ Gd ( s ) ⋅ G p ( s ) (11) From (11), it is clear that T(s) without any damping can be obtained by setting Gad(s) = 0. As a result, the frequency responses of T(s) without and with the gridside current feedback AD can be plotted in Fig. 9, where the main circuit parameters are listed in Table II. Based on Fig. 9, it is seen that the frequency responses of T(s) without any damping exist a resonant peak at the LCL resonance frequency, which will cause a negative 180° phase falling. According to the stability criterion, the system will be unstable. When the proposed grid-side current feedback AD is applied, this resonant peak can be suppressed effectively leading to a stable system. Besides, it can also be seen that the frequency responses of T(s) with the AD is similar with those of T(s) with an ideal virtual resistor in parallel with Cf, which thus proves the correctness of the theoretical analyses.

The larger value of ωc makes Gad_x(s) more coincident with Gad(s). However, a larger magnitude gain at the high frequency range will be accompanied. Besides, the larger value of ζ ensures the flatter peak at ωc. In this paper, ωc = 3×104 rad/s and ζ = 104 are chosen. The frequency responses of Gad(s) in (8) and Gad_x(s) in (9) can thus be plotted in Fig. 8, respectively. Besides, as the time delay Gd(s) may have negative influence on the introduced virtual resistor, a secondorder lead-lag compensator proposed in [17] should be added in cascaded with Gad_x(s) to compensate the delay effect as shown in Fig. 7. Its expression is given as Gcomp ( s ) = K c ⋅ (1 + 0.75Ts s ) 2 0 < λ < 0.75 K c ≤ 1 (10) (1 + λTs s ) 2 Fig. 9. Frequency responses of T(s) without and with the proposed gridside current feedback AD. 2685 The 2018 International Power Electronics Conference measured phase-a PCC voltage and three-phase grid-side currents are shown in Fig. 10. It is clear that the grid-side currents are severely oscillated indicating an unstable system, which is consistent with the analyses in Fig. 9. Then, the proposed grid-side current feedback AD is applied. The measured steady-state waveforms are shown in Fig. 11(a), where the system can be well stabilized. Meanwhile, a satisfied dynamic performance is obtained by setting the current magnitude reference from 5A to 10A, whose measured waveforms are shown in Fig. 11(b). Consequently, the proposed grid-side current feedback active damping is proved to be effective to suppress the LCL resonance. V. Fig. 10. The measured phase-a PCC voltage and three-phase grid-side currents when the VSI is operated without any damping. CONCLUSIONS This paper presented a comprehensive analysis of the AD implemented by the feedback of the LCL filter state variables. It was found that different state variables can be adopted to achieve the effective damping function by emulating a proper VI. Besides, the connection type of VI with the LCL filter network is not constrained by the selected state variable but mainly dependent on the specific form of the AD controller. Therefore, all possible forms of the AD controller to realize the VI in different connections with the LCL filter network under different state variables are mathematically derived. Further, the optimal selection of the AD controller is discussed by considering the complexity of the controller’s realization as well as the availability of the measuring sensors. The obtained conclusions may guide the design of such AD methods. Finally, a case study focusing on one particular AD, which is realized by the feedback of the grid-side current to emulate a virtual resistor in parallel with the filter capacitor, was presented. The damping performance evaluation in the frequency domain together with the experimental results have verified the correctness of the above theoretical analyses.
