Abstract

Synchronization with the power system is an essential part of control of grid-connected converters. This paper proposes a grid-voltage sensorless synchronization and control scheme for a grid-connected converter equipped with an LCL filter, measuring only the converter currents and the DC voltage. A discrete-time pole-placement design method is used to formulate an adaptive full-order observer for estimation of the angle and magnitude of the grid voltage. The analytically derived design is experimentally validated, and the results demonstrate rapid convergence of the estimated angle and magnitude.
