Systematic Design of the Lead-Lag Network Method for Active Damping in LCL-Filter Based Three Phase Converters

Abstract

Three-phase active rectifiers guarantee sinusoidal input currents and unity power factor at the price of a high switching frequency ripple. To adopt an LCL-filter, instead of an -filter, allows using reduced values for the inductances and so preserving dynamics. However, stability problems can arise in the current control loop if the present resonance is not properly damped. Passive damping simply adds resistors in series with the LCL-filtercapacitors.Thissimplicityisattheexpenseofincreased losses and encumbrances. Active damping modifies the control algorithm to attain stability without using dissipative elements but,sometimes,needingadditionalsensors.Thissolutionhasbeen addressed in many publications. The lead-lag network method is one of the first reported procedures and continues being in use. However, neither there is a direct tuning procedure (without trial anderror)noritsrationalehasbeenexplained.Thus,inthispaper a straightforward procedure is developed to tune the lead-lag network with the help of software tools. The rationale of this procedure,basedonthecapacitorcurrentfeedback,iselucidated. Stability is studied by means of the root locus analysis in -plane. Selecting the lead-lag network for the maximum damping in the closed-loop poles uses a simple optimization algorithm. The robustness against the grid inductance variation is also analyzed. Simulations and experiments confirm the validity of the proposed design flow.
