Abstract:

Inverters connecting distributed power generators and micro-grid use modular structure, which is not safe and efficient because of the randomness and volatility of transmission power. This article builds the grid inverter system based on directly paralleled inverter structure. According to the DC side model and efficiency model of inverter, relationships between transmission power and efficiency are analyzed. For a changing transmission power, the efficient and reliable switching strategies are developed. Besides, synchronous controller and circulating current restraining controller are designed. The simulation and analysis show that the control strategies can not only switch the grid inverters smoothly, but also make the distributed generators connect to grid safely and efficiently.

Key words: Modular inverters, efficiency of inverter, restraining of zero-sequence circulating current, switching control strategies, improved synchronous controller
