Dynamics Assessment of Grid-Synchronization Algorithms for Single-Phase Grid-Connected Converters

Several advanced phase-lock-loop (PLL) algorithms have been proposed for single-phase power electronic systems. Among these algorithms, the orthogonal signal generators (OSGs) are widely utilized to generate a set of in-quadrature signals, owing to its benefit of simple digital implementation and low computational burden. Meanwhile, some other techniques have been proposed to enhance system robustness and stability characteristics. In this paper, a comprehensive comparison among the OSG-based PLLs and the advanced single-phase PLLs is presented when the grid voltage undergoes disturbances, and the performance comparison of transient response and disturbance rejection capabilities are presented. Finally, the moving average filter (MAF) is applied to enhance steady state and dynamic response of the delayed-type PLL, derivator-based PLL and the complex-coefficient filter (CCF-PLL) under grid frequency variations, harmonics and white noise contamination scenarios.
