Outline of Presentation Simulation of two 3-phase inverters using a virtual resistor • LC filter dampening • Load sharing • Simulation results NORPIE 2004
Load 1.3mH 0.3mH =/~ 1mH 65µF Inverter A 1.3mH 1mH =/~ Diode rectifier load 65µF Inverter B Problem: LC filter resonance Solution: Negative current feedback → Virtual resistor NORPIE 2004
VC,αβ IL,αβ Where to place the virtual resistor? • Two possible locations: • R1 is most common, but expensive • R2 is used here, because the inductor current IL,αβ already is available due to overcurrent protection NORPIE 2004
Solution: Band-pass filtering High load problem Series resistor will give voltage drop! NORPIE 2004
Still a resistor at 50Hz? Band pass filtering of inductor current NORPIE 2004
L R VE VS Load sharing between two voltage sources • An inductor L is necessary to decrease the disturbance (load current) frequency • A virtual (series) resistor R can be added for improved load sharing NORPIE 2004

Simulations results fortraditional (increased gain by 4x) and virtual resistor based load sharing vector Control assuming an inductive transmission line. P: 4% frequency droop Q: 24% voltage droop + Good load sharing - Poor dampening Control assuming a resistive transmission line P: (24%) voltage droop Q: 4% frequency increase + Good dampening - 20% load sharing difference NORPIE 2004
Conclusion • A band pass filter makes it possible to use a virtual resistor in series with the load for LC-filter dampening. • Cheaper and simpler than a virtual resistor in series with the filter capacitor. • The use of a virtual resistor requires rotation of the load sharing vector. • Good oscillation dampening, but load sharing may be uneven • The traditional control method assuming inductive transmission line has poor active power dampening. • Some special ”tricks” may be used to decrease response time: Adding a phase angle in addition to the frequency (Patent US6,693,809 by Alfred Engler) NORPIE 2004
