Impedance Modeling and Stability Analysis of PV Grid-connected Inverter Systems Considering Frequency Coupling

Impedance analysis is an effective method to analyze the oscillation issue associated with grid-connected photovoltaic systems.However,the existing impedance modeling of a gridconnected photovoltaic inverter usually only considers the effect of a single perturbation frequency,ignoring the coupling frequency response between the internal control loops of a grid-connected inverter,which severely affects the accuracy of the stability analysis.Hence,a method of impedance modeling and stability analysis for grid-connected photovoltaic inverters considering cross-coupling frequency is proposed in this paper.First,the generation mechanism of frequency coupling in gridconnected photovoltaic inverters,and the relationship between the coupling frequency and perturbation frequency are analyzed.Secondly,a sequence impedance model of grid-connected photovoltaic systems considering the coupling frequency is established by using the harmonic linearization method.The impact of DC bus voltage control strategy on frequency coupling characteristics of a grid-connected photovoltaic system is evaluated,and the impact of a coupling frequency term on system stability is quantitatively analyzed.Finally,the advantages of the proposed method are verified by several simulations.The results show that the proposed impedance model can accurately predict the potential resonance points of the system,and the coupling frequency characteristics will become much stronger with smaller DC bus capacitance or larger bandwidth of the DC bus controller.

Among all the renewable energy sources,the installed capacity of solar power generation is the fastest growing in recent years,so photovoltaic(PV)power generation still has great market potential.Compared with low-power systems,large-scale PV systems are more commercially attractive,because they can reduce the cost of the system per watt.The PV inverters with centralized and string structure have been applied in large-scale PV plant,but it is difficult to further increase the voltage and power levels for a single converter.In addition,the line-frequency isolation transformer requires a large amount of materials and has a large volume and weight.Therefore,it is a current trend for large-scale PV system to increase the voltage and power levels to directly connect to the medium-voltage power grid.Based on this,this paper investigates and compares several topologies of PV inverters without line-frequency transformer,including the MMC structure and the three-phase cascaded H-bridge(CHB)structure,which are able to directly connect to the 35kV medium-voltage power grid,and can not only make the voltage and power levels higher,but also further reduce the cost and volume of the whole system.
