Abstract :
Due to the inductor-capacitor (LC) filter, a pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) current-source converter may experience LC resonance. The resonance can be excited by system harmonics either from the PWM process or from the grid voltage distortions and hence results in the line current distorted. In this paper, feedback controls using different variables in the LC filter are first investigated and comprehensively analyzed. It is shown that the inductor-voltage feedback or the capacitor-voltage feedback can damp the current oscillations by increasing the damping ratio, while the inductor-current feedback or the capacitor-current feedback is able to suppress low-order harmonics by raising the resonance frequency. On this basis, a group of combined variable feedback control methods is presented by combining the feedbacks of the inductor/capacitor current and the inductor/capacitor voltage. Thus, not only the current oscillations can be damped, but also the low-order harmonics can be suppressed. Therefore, the line current waveform is improved, and the system performance can be flexibly optimized. A practical design method for feedback gains is also presented in this paper. Finally, the simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility and validity of the proposition.
