Characterisation of Harmonic Resonance Phenomenon of Multi-Parallel PV Inverter Systems: Modelling and Analysis
Solar PV inverters require output filters to reduce unwanted harmonics in their output, where LCL filters are a more economical choice than larger inductance-only filters. A drawback of these filters is that they can introduce power quality disturbances, especially at higher frequencies (above 2 kHz...

| description | Solar PV inverters require output filters to reduce unwanted harmonics in their output, where LCL filters are a more economical choice than larger inductance-only filters. A drawback of these filters is that they can introduce power quality disturbances, especially at higher frequencies (above 2 kHz). This paper investigates and characterises the resonance phenomenon introduced by different filter types, i.e., LC or LCL, and identifies their behavioural change when combined with multiple parallel grid-tied PV inverter systems. MATLAB/Simulink modelling aspects of PV inverter systems related to resonance phenomenon are presented, including establishing resonance at a specific frequency where potentially large variations in the parameter selection across manufacturers may exist. In addition, a method is developed to establish output filter frequency response through measurements, which is used to develop validated solar PV harmonic models for high-frequency analysis. The low-frequency harmonic models can be used up to the resonant frequency where the current flowing through the filter capacitor is insignificant compared to the current flowing into the electricity network. |
