Flexible power weighting distribution for three‐phase parallel inverters with networked control

Abstract

In this study, networked control scheme applied in dq0 coordinate for three-phase parallel inverters of distributed generation units is presented to achieve flexible current weighting distribution. Firstly, the output impedance based on generalised state space averaging method with the consideration of dead-time effect is investigated in dq0 coordinate and proved to be inductive for fundamental components in dq0 coordinate. Therefore the weighted output current distribution can be realised conveniently with networked control applied in dq0 coordinate without the additional circuit or virtual impedance. Besides, for the sake of flexibility and autonomy of a parallel inverters system, the power proportional coefficients of different inverters can be changed automatically. In the end, power weighting coefficients in networked control are optimised by means of functional analysis. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of a networked control scheme applied in dq0 coordinate on the flexible power weighting distribution for parallel inverters.

“…It still has negative On the other hand, active power and reactive power of each of the DC/AC modules should be equally shared in order to minimize the active power circulating current. A number of parallel technologies have been proposed in [21][22][23][24][25][26], which can be categorized into two main types, namely communication based and communication-less. Since the mature digital signal processor (DSP) technology provides a smaller data transmit time delay, a communication based parallel technology is used here.…”
