Design & Implementation of LCL Filter in Small Wind Turbine Systems


V. Meenakshi and S. Paramasivam
Abstract

LCL-filters are desired over traditional L-filters for grid-connected voltage supply inverters (VSI) due to their superior harmonic attenuation, smaller filter size and weight. The LCL-clear out design method is complicated and takes an iterative technique because of the issues of resonance damping, reactive strength compensation, harmonic attenuation limits and so on. This paper analyses the parameters of LCL-filter layout that allows you to apprehend its importance in grid-related applications. Secondly, based at the evaluation, relationships between the resonance frequency, attenuation of switching ripple, reactive strength production and ratio among grid-facet and inverter-facet inductor are used to comprehend a simple LCL-clear out design set of rules. The layout considers LCL-filter as an unmarried filtering unit instead of character filtering contributions from passive additives. The design is verified through simulations in Matlab and confirmed experimentally through a hardware prototype. Results reveal the efficacy of the proposed method in terms of total harmonic distortion, harmonic attenuation and reactive electricity compensated.
