Enhanced Q-Axis Voltage-Integral Damping Control for Fast PLL-Synchronized Inverters in Weak Grids

• The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a commonly used synchronization control method for grid-tied inverters. The PLL-synchronized inverters tend to have poor stability robustness with weak grid interconnections, especially when the PLL is designed with a high control bandwidth. To tackle this challenge, this article proposes an enhanced q-axis voltage-integral damping control, which not only stabilizes PLL-synchronized inverters in weak grids but also lifts the restriction on PLL bandwidth. This superior feature enables inverters to operate stably in ultraweak grids and with a superior transient response. The experimental tests confirm the performance of the method with 400-Hz PLL bandwidth under a short-circuit ratio of 1.28 of the grids.
