A single-phase synchronization technique for grid-connected energy storage system under faulty grid conditions

The control of a single-phase grid-connected energy storage system (ESS) requires a very fast and accurate estimation of grid voltage frequency and phase angle. A phase-locked loop (PLL) based synchronization algorithm usually extracts this information. The operation and control of the entire system are directly affected by the performance of PLL. In this article, a novel advanced single-phase PLL (ASϕPLL) technique with reduced complexity is proposed for the fast and accurate extraction of grid information in an ESS under distorted and abnormal grid conditions, including harmonics, interharmonics, dc offset, and grid faults. The proposed method provides a faster dynamic response, lower frequency overshoot, and accurate estimation under off-nominal grid frequencies with reduced computational complexity in comparison with the existing method. The advanced performance of the proposed ASϕPLL is verified through the simulation and experimental results

An improved pre-filtering moving average filter based synchronization algorithm for single-phase V2G application

The performance and overall operation of grid- connected electric vehicle is directly affected by abnormal grid conditions. In this regard, Moving Average Filter (MAF) provide high noise cancellation capability and require less computational resources. However, the conventional in-loop MAF based synchronization suffers from slower dynamic response. In this paper, an improved pre-filtering MAF based PLL (IPMAFPLL) is proposed where MAF is removed from the control-loop and placed in the pre-filtering stage to improve the dynamic response of system. The phase drift provided by MAF under off-nominal frequency is further mitigated by introducing a compensation factor in the pre-filtering stage. The proposed technique is compared with conventional MAF-PLL and non-adaptive MAF- PLL. The simulation and experimental results show that our proposed approach have lower frequency overshoot and improved performance towards compensating grid harmonics under nominal and off-nominal grid frequencies
