A Coupled Virtual Impedance for Parallel AC/DC Converter Based Power Electronics System

A Coupled Virtual Impedance for Parallel AC/DC Converter Based Power Electronics System
In this paper, a coordinated control method is proposed for three-phase ac/dc hybrid microgrid power electronic interlinking unit with dual converters sharing both dc and ac links. Unlike the conventional dual converters-based system where the same control strategy is applied to both converters, converter1 in this proposed system is controlled by a closed-loop current regulation algorithm while converter2 employs voltage controller with coupled adaptive virtual impedance. With the flexible control of the coupled virtual impedance, the system performance is enhanced in the following three aspects. First, in grid-tied operation mode, the output power difference between dual converters is used as an input to tune the coupled virtual impedance of converter2 for a rapid dynamic power response. Second, the proposed coordinated control with inherent voltage support is able to achieve a seamless transfer without additional efforts. Third, during system islanded operation, a generalized power sharing and an active PCC voltage harmonic and unbalanced components mitigation are achieved via the adjustment of the coupled virtual impedance. Finally, the scalability of the proposed method in a system with more converters is briefly discussed and verified.
