Second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) based phase-locked loops (PLLs) are widely used for grid synchronization in single-phase grid-connected power converters. Previously, the estimated frequency of PLL stage is fed back to front-end SOGI block make SOGI-PLLs frequency-adaptive, which increases implementation complexity, and makes tuning sensitive, thus reducing stability margins. Alternatively, a frequency-fixed SOGI-based (briefly called FFSOGI-PLL) proposed ensure simple this letter....

In stage, a cascaded delayed signal cancellation (CDSC) module low-pass filter are connected series low-order harmonics high-frequency noises. For...
This paper presents an effective method, which can address the existing dc-link double-line-frequency voltage ripples in single-phase grid-connected PV inverters, to improve current. The instantaneous power pulsations at grid side cause fluctuations of systems. A PI controller is generally used regulate and its output generate current reference. Since cannot effectively attenuate components, generated reference suffers from harmonic components. As a consequent, actual injected also contains...
