description

Distributed power generation units are experiencing an impressive growth. Consequently, the amount of energy injected by non-linear loads as power converters is expected to increase. Stability and quality of the overall grid are heavily affected by performances of grid-side converters. In this paper, an overview of grid-synchronization technique is proposed. The grid-side inverter is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink® environment including current control and grid-synchronization section. Both Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) and Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame (DDSRF) PLL algorithms are implemented. A performance comparison is carried out under ideal and unbalanced utility conditions. A modify of DDSRF architecture is proposed to enhance performances of DDSRF under distorted conditions. Simulation results are shown and discussed.
