Abstract

Grid-connected voltage-source inverters (VSIs) have evolved over the past years for the interconnection of renewable energy sources with the grid to satisfy the increased electrical load demand and utilize clean carbon-free energy. However, VSIs suffer a significant drawback of switching harmonics caused by the inverter switches. To reduce the amount of current distortion injected into the utility grid and meet harmonic constraints as defined by power quality standards, an LCL filter is often used. Although extensive literature describes assorted design procedures for an LCL filter, all these methods cannot guarantee an optimal solution, because no direct mathematical function between the LCL filter parameters and the total harmonic distortion (THD) exists. Presented in this paper is the application of an evolutionary annealing–simplex method to select the inductance values in the LCL filter. This method is compared to other methods previously presented in the literature: a systematic method and an inductance grid-search method based on a calculated distribution of total harmonic distortion for various inductance values. The goal is to select the smallest overall inductance values to ensure lower manufacturing costs while maintaining the filter performance. Simulation and experimental results verify that at least a 40% reduction in overall inductance can be achieved with the proposed method while simultaneously guaranteeing the filtering performance.
