Control and Filter Design of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converters - by Weimin Wu & Frede Blaabjerg & Henry S Chung & Yuanbin He & Min Huang

About the Book

"This book will give a new perspective to readers by reporting the performance characteristics of inverters with filters of a higher order. Of course, it is necessary to operate such high-order systems with sophisticated control strategy and design considerations. The trend of miniaturizing the inverters is on-going and, in particular, due to recent advancement of high-power switching devices, the size of the switching network can be reduced. The physical size of the output filter becomes the key consideration in reducing the size of inverters. This book will be a good guide to the researchers, senior undergraduate & graduate students and professional engineers related to this field."--

Book Synopsis

Control and Filter Design of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converters

A state-of-the-art discussion of modern grid inverters

In Control and Filter Design of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converters, a team of distinguished researchers deliver a robust and authoritative treatment of critical distributed power generation technologies, grid-connected inverter designs, and renewable energy utilization. The book includes detailed explanations of the system structure of distributed generation (DG)-grid interface converters and the methods of controlling DG-grid interface voltage source converters (VSCs) with high-order filters.

The authors also explore the challenges and obstacles associated with modern power electronic grid-connected inverter control technology and introduce some designed systems that meet these challenges, such as the grid impedance canceller.

Readers will discover demonstrations of basic principles, guidelines, examples, and design and simulation programs for grid-connected inverters based on LCL/LLCL technology. They will also find:

• A thorough introduction to the architectures of DG-grid interfacing converters, including the challenges of controlling DG-grid interfacing VSCs with high-order filters
• Comprehensive explorations of the control structure and modulation techniques of single-phase grid-tied inverters
• Practical discussions of an LLCL power filter for single-phase grid-tied inverters
• Fulsome treatments of design methods of passive damping for LCL/LLCL-filtered grid-tied inverters

Perfect for researchers, postgraduate students, and senior level undergraduate students of electrical engineering, Control and Filter Design of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converters will also benefit research & development engineers involved with the design and manufacture of power electronic inverters.
