Abstract :
This paper deals with the analysis, design and optimization of a LCL filter topology to connect a 7MW NPC inverter to the grid. Following the requirements based on the IEEE 519-1992 recommendation and the German Guideline VDEW, simulation results were evaluated in order to access the performance of the proposed filter and the quality of the current injected into the grid.
