Study on the Resonance Characteristics and Active Damping Suppression Strategies of Multi-Inverter Grid-Connected Systems Under Weak Grid Conditions

When a multi-inverter grid-connected system is influenced by the parasitic parameters of LCL-type inverters and the impedance of the connected system’s lines, its resonance characteristics become more complex and difficult to predict. For LCL-type multi-inverter grid-connected systems, a mathematical model that considers the effects of parasitic parameters and line impedance has been established, leading to the derivation of the system’s Norton equivalent circuit and a general expression for the inverter output current. The resonance characteristics of multi-inverter grid-connected systems composed of inverters with the same and different parameters were analyzed under the influence of parasitic parameters and line impedance. To suppress the resonance in multi-inverter grid-connected systems and address the issue of traditional PI control not meeting grid requirements for LCL-type grid-connected inverters, a strategy combining superhelical sliding mode control with active damping was adopted. To verify the practical performance of the adopted resonance suppression strategy in complex environments, a grid-connected system model containing two LCL-type inverters was constructed using the MATLAB/Simulink software platform, followed by simulation analysis. The simulation results strongly confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the adopted resonance suppression strategy, considering the effects of parasitic parameters and line impedance. This strategy demonstrates significant suppression effects in addressing resonance issues caused by parasitic parameters and line impedance, effectively enhancing the quality of grid-connected electrical energy.
