Parks-McClellan Algorithm-Based Active Damping Strategy Applied to Grid-Connected Inverters

Abstract

In recent years, grid-connected inverters have gained wide prominence, primarily attributed to the surge in distributed energy resources. To ensure the reliable operation of these inverters, it is crucial to adequately damp the resonance peak of the LCL filter at the inverter output. By achieving this, the grid-connected inverter guarantees the system's stability while minimizing the harmonic content in the current injected into the distribution grid. To address this issue, this paper proposes the utilization of digital differentiators in conjunction with optimized wideband differentiators, which are designed using the Parks-McClellan (PM) algorithm. These differentiators are applied specifically to the LCL filter capacitor voltage to dampen the resonance peak effectively. Simulation results univocally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
