Control strategy for grid-connected inverter with an LCL output filter

The grid-connected inverter with LCL output filter is a third-order and multi-variable system, claiming a higher demands to the control system design. Aiming at this, a grid-connected inverter control strategy based on inverter-side current closed-loop and capacitor current feed-forward was proposed, controling the grid-side current indirectly through the inverter-side current. With the proposed control strategy, system stability and unity power factor are ensured, at the same time, no additional sensors are needed, making equipment costs reduced and reliability enhanced. Effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy are validated by both the simulation and experiment results.
