Cover Story: The fast-growing number of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources and heavy loads connecting to the grid arises concerns about grid stability, accelerating the adoption of distributed power management strategies provided by microgrids. The PLL is a key element in the converter control loop, mostly when the converter operates in a weak grid (island operation). Under such conditions, the PLL must present higher robustness, contributing to a stable frequency while also being critical that phase angle estimation does not interfere with the converter control loops' stability. In this paper, a comprehensive comparison between the dynamic and steady-state responses of different DSOGI-PLL methods is performed and benchmarked, considering different grid conditions and disturbances aiming to aid the reader in selecting the compared methods.
