Abstract
Distributed parallel inverters are a promising solution for large power systems due to their flexibility and reliability. However, the distributed control mode often causes carrier phase desynchronization among the control units, leading to adverse effects on high-frequency harmonics and power loss. To address this issue, this article proposes a carrier phase synchronization (CPS) method for distributed parallel inverters, leveraging circulating current identification. In the proposed scheme, circulating currents in parallel inverters directly influence high-frequency harmonics and carry carrier phase information. The peak amplitude of these currents is used to identify the CPS point and adaptively adjust the carrier phase difference. The proposed strategy leverages existing circulating currents to achieve CPS in parallel inverters, eliminating the need for additional synchronization hardware. Consequently, this solution not only reduces system costs and size but also enables CPS-based multifunctionality, such as power quality optimization and common mode reduction. Finally, both simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed CPS method and the associated analysis.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal covers all issues of widespread or generic interest to engineers who work in the field of power electronics. The Journal editors will enforce standards and a review policy equivalent to the IEEE Transactions, and only papers of high technical quality will be accepted. Papers which treat new and novel device, circuit or system issues which are of generic interest to power electronics engineers are published. Papers which are not within the scope of this Journal will be forwarded to the appropriate IEEE Journal or Transactions editors. Examples of papers which would be more appropriately published in other Journals or Transactions include: 1) Papers describing semiconductor or electron device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. 2) Papers describing applications in specific areas: e.g., industry, instrumentation, utility power systems, aerospace, industrial electronics, etc. These papers would be more appropriate for the Transactions of the Society which is concerned with these applications. 3) Papers describing magnetic materials and magnetic device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. 4) Papers on machine theory. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. While original papers of significant technical content will comprise the major portion of the Journal, tutorial papers and papers of historical value are also reviewed for publication.
