Abstract
Four different synchronisation methods for a voltage source converter connected to a three-phase grid are investigated. The methods are adapted for use in a digital controller. The performance of the synchronisation methods is studied by response characteristics of phase-shift steps, frequency steps and low-frequency grid voltage harmonics. The low-pass filtering method can be used only if the frequency of the grid is constant and phase jumps do not occur. If phase jumps occur, the novel space vector filtering method is recommended. The extended space vector filtering method is adapted to handle frequency variations and is also preferred if fast frequency variations occur. This method even has a higher performance than the extended Kalman filter method, in spite of the large number of calculations that must be performed.Keywords
