Fast Reactive Power Sharing, Circulating Current and Resonance Suppression for Parallel Inverters Using Resistive-Capacitive Output Impedance

摘要

In this paper, an inverter using resistive-capacitive output impedance (-type inverter) is proposed not only to provide fast reactive power sharing to support microgrid voltage, and but also to reduce circulating currents and damp high-frequency resonances among inverters. Introducing the virtual impedance loop, the inverter provides fast transient response. Based on the -type inverter modeling, the comparative frequency-domain analysis of equivalent output impedances is discussed, and the impact of the virtual complex impedance over the circulating currents and high-frequency resonances among parallel inverters is quantitatively analyzed. The control parameters are systematically selected, and effect of virtual complex impedance on the inverter output voltage is depicted. The -type inverter can reduce circulating currents and damp resonances due to different equivalent output impedances of inverter, and line impedances. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
