Adaptive Notch Filters for Bus Voltage Control and Capacitance Degradation Prognostic of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Inverter

Abstract

Two adaptive notch filters (ANFs) based on the double integrators (ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_R</i> ) and the unbalanced synchronous reference frame control (ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_dq</i> ) were applied to the bus voltage control of a single-phase grid-connected inverter. This article also proposes a non-invasive prognostic function for the degradation of the bus capacitance using the difference between the bus ripple amplitudes estimated from the ANFs and the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dq</i> -axes currents with the nominal bus capacitance. The ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_R</i> , ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_dq</i> , and conventional notch filters (NFs) were experimentally validated with a 220-V, 50-Hz, 2.5-kW two-stage inverter. The bus voltage control schemes using the three NFs tuned at a fast bandwidth of 30 Hz exhibited identical performance with the grid current harmonics complied with the IEEE 1547 standard. Moreover, the ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_R</i> and ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_dq</i> control schemes maintain low current distortion with a variable grid frequency of 45–55 Hz. The capacitance degradation prognostic function accurately responded to a 27% reduction in the bus capacitance. Considering the control performance and computational effort, the ANF <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">_R</i> is suitable for bus voltage control of the single-phase inverter.
