Impedance remodeling control strategy of grid-connected inverter with inertia-damping phase-locked loop under extremely weak grid

The operation of the grid-connected inverter (GCI) in weak grid conditions presents a risk of instability due to the presence of high grid impedance and the negative impedance effect of the phase-locked loop (PLL). In response to this issue, this paper introduces an impedance remodeling control strategy for the GCI utilizing the inertiadamping phase-locked loop (ID-PLL). Firstly, the proposed ID-PLL exhibits certain inertia and damping properties in comparison to the traditional PLL (T-PLL), resulting in an enhanced phase margin of the GCI system ' s equivalent output impedance. Consequently, the adaptation range of the grid impedance increases from 12mH (SCR = 3.00) to 24mH (SCR = 1.37). Next, from the perspective of impedance analysis, this study remodels the PLL impedance and inverter control loop impedance, further improving the amplitude and phase margin of the system ' s output impedance. As a result, the adaptation range of the grid impedance extends to 33mH (SCR = 1.00), and the transition of grid-connected currents becomes smooth and free of overshoot. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated through theoretical analysis and experimental verification.
