1 Comparison of the Effect of Output Filters on the Total Harmonic Distortion of Line Current in Voltage Source Line Converter Simulation Study Pasi Peltoniemi, Riku Pöllänen, Markku Niemelä and Juha Pyrhönen Department of Electrical Engineering, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Lappeenranta FIN Astract. Two different output filter topologies are considered, namely the LCL- and L+LC-filter. The space vector modulation (SVM) is used to control the power switches of the converter. Design methods for oth filter types are proposed. The methods are used to dimension the filter components. The performances of the filters designed are verified y simulations to meet the given line current total harmonic distortion (THD) requirement. The study reveals that the LCL-filter is more effective a filter topology in attenuating line current harmonic components than the L+LC-filter. Key words LCL-filter, L+LC-filter, Voltage Source Converter, Pulse Width Modulation, Power Quality. Introduction Renewale energy sources such as wind turines and solar energy make significant and increasing contriutions to electric utility networks. A grid-friendly interface etween the energy source and the utility network is needed. A modern pulse width modulated (PWM) [] converter provides nearly sinusoidal line current waveforms and therefore power quality is improved compared to the case where diode rectifiers are used. The importance of the power quality is crucial, ecause non-sinusoidal currents delivered to the grid can introduce an additional nonsinusoidal voltage drop across the line impedance and therey increase the voltage distortion supplied to loads. With a PWM rectifier a low line current distortion could e otained y filtering. A very typical PWM rectifier application s topology is illustrated in Fig.. The power is produced to the dc-link from some renewale energy source and the output of the PWM rectifier is filtered to otain a low line current distortion. Of all output filters used in the field of power electronic applications, the LCL-filter is currently proaly the most frequently used topology [3-5]. The reason for the popularity of the LCLfilter is that good attenuation is achieved with a relatively small component values. That is, good power quality is achieved with a reasonale filter costs. In this paper the performance of an LCL-filter is compared to the performance of an L+LC-filter. The staility of the system is often improved y introducing an extra damping resistor in the filter [3, 6]. In this paper Fig.. A typical line converter system in renewale energy applications, where the power is produced y some source to the dc-link and is then rectified and filtered to the grid. damping resistors are not used and the characteristics of filters are studied through the design process.. LCL-filter design A topology of an LCL-filter used is seen in Fig.a, where it is a part of the PWM rectifier system. A method proposed y Liserre [] is ased on defining the switching frequency line current amplitude. By following the procedure component values are otained ut the resonance frequency is not settled. To find the desired resonance frequency, the filter parameters must e iterated. A. Method using resonance frequency as design parameter By taking the resonance frequency f res to e the primary design parameter, we are ale to set the resonance frequency without having to iterate it. The requirement for the resonance frequency is that it should e included in the range f fund <f res <f sw / [3], where f fund is the fundamental frequency of the utility network voltage. First, the converter side inductance L is determined from the equation i ( nsw ) () u( nsw ) ωsw L where ω sw is the angular switching frequency, n sw is the frequency multiple of the fundamental frequency at the switching frequency and u and i are the phase voltage and current on the converter side of the filter, respectively. The resonance frequency of the LCL-filter is defined as 8 RE&PQJ, Vol., No.4, April 6

Filters resonance frequency as a function if inductor ratio r. In (c) f sw =. khz and the highest permitted resonance frequency f res =.5 khz and the frequencies in (d) for f sw = 7. khz and f res = 8.55 khz. f res L + L + r = = () π L L C π rl C Then y selecting the desired capacitor values, curves of f res as a function of the inductor ratio r = L /L can e drawn. Curves are illustrated in Figs.c and d, where switching frequencies. khz and 7. khz are chosen at the ends of the area that includes nearly every switching frequency used in converter applications. The amplitude of the switching frequency voltage in Figs.c and d is chosen to u (n sw ) =.3 p.u. In Fig.c f sw =. khz and the allowed i (n sw ) =. p.u. It can e noticed that no matter how small filter parameters that fulfill the requirement of f res are chosen, the amplitude of the line current at the switching frequency i (n sw ) is always smaller than.5 p.u. Furthermore, when the low switching frequency f sw is used, the resonance frequency f res must e chosen very low (in order to avoid low frequency voltage components). Then igger filter component values must e used not to attenuate the switching frequency current amplitude i (n sw ) ut to fulfill the resonance frequency f res requirement. In Fig.d curves are shown in the case where f sw =7. khz and the allowed i (n sw )=.p.u. The switching frequency that high, is only a theoretical and is represented only to point out the ehavior etween the current amplitude at the switching frequency, the filter resonance frequency and filter component values. Now, from the Fig.d it is deduced, that when the switching frequency f sw is increased the resonance frequency f res is no more the property that limits the filter component values. Fig.d also shows that i (n sw ) ecomes dominant at least when igger capacitor values are deployed. Finally, when comparing Fig.c and Fig.d it is noticed that when the switching frequency f sw is increased, higher capacitor values no longer produce applicale solutions which fulfill oth requirements. B. Modified design method for LCL-filter The key idea in the modified design method is that any point where the resonance frequency f res and the amplitude of the line current at the switching frequency i (n sw ) have a common solution could e determined. In other words, the solution may e found where f res and i (n sw ) requirements are fulfilled. The attenuation of the line current amplitude at the switching frequency is defined as i ( nsw ) = = (3) i ( nsw ) + r( ωsw LC ) + r klclω reslc where k LCL =ω sw /ω res. The resonance frequency in Eq.() can e presented as ω L C = + r, and then Eq.(3) is res d = (4) k LCL ( + r) where d = i (n sw )/i (n sw ) is the attenuation of the switching frequency line current amplitude across the filter. Finally, r is otained and it is r = (5) d k LCL 9 RE&PQJ, Vol., No.4, April 6
3 I (jωn)/u (jωn) Harmonic order n Fig. 3. Frequency response of an L+LC-filter, when f sw =. khz (n = 4) is used as the switching frequency. In order to achieve the capacitor value C, Eq.(3) is reformulated. The equation for the capacitor C is C = (6) ω resl ( d klcl ) When filter is designed using Eqs.(), (5) and (6), the switching frequency f sw, filter resonance frequency f res, converter side current amplitude at the switching frequency i (n sw ) and the attenuation d across the filter can e specified. 3. L+LC-filter design The L+LC-filter topology could e arranged in two ways. The difference etween filter topologies is the placing of the LC part of the filter. The function is similar in oth topologies ut the way filters are dimensioned differs from each other. The topology used here is shown in Fig.. The difference etween the LCL-filter and the L+LC-filter is that the L+LC-filter has two resonance frequencies while the LCL-filter has only one. Actually, the LCL-filter has three resonance frequencies, ut the one defined y Eq.() is the essential from the practical viewpoint. The two resonance frequencies of the L+LC-filter are called the antiresonance frequency and the resonance frequency due to the nature of resonances. At the antiresonance frequency the frequency components of the line current are attenuated whereas at the resonance frequency they are amplified. The design method proposed is ased on placing the resonance frequencies so that the component values are minimized. Oviously, the antiresonance frequency is placed on the switching frequency. When placing the resonance frequency of the L+LC-filter, a couple of things should e considered. First, when a so called fixed switching frequency modulation method is used, frequencies of the switching frequency harmonics are known []. Thus, the frequencies that should e avoided are known. Second, a considerale loss of attenuation occurs when the ratio etween the antiresonance f ares and the resonance frequency f res (k L+LC =ω ares /ω res ) is diminished. In other words, the higher the resonance frequency is compared to the antiresonance frequency, the lower is the attenuation on the higher frequencies. The difference in attenuation is illustrated in Fig.3. A. Design method applying [] When only the L+LC-filter is considered, the resonance frequencies could e characterized as the serial and the parallel resonance of the filter. That is, the antiresonance frequency could e calculated as fares = (7) π ( L + L ) C and the resonance frequency as fres = (8) π L C But when the line impedance is taken into a consideration the resonance frequency differs from that of Eq.(8). Now, the resonance frequency of the L+LC-filter is expressed as fres = (9) π L L + L C s On the other hand, the line impedance has only a negligile effect on the antiresonance frequency. In the design method presented in [], the converter side inductance L value is determined y using Eq.(). In order to solve the design prolem with Eqs.(7) and (9), one of the remaining variales must e specified. If the capacitor value is fixed and the antiresonance frequency is known, then the inductance L can e calculated as L = L () ω C ares If the value of the inductor L is chosen instead, then the value of the capacitor could e calculated using Eq.(), first, y solving C. B. The novel design method for the L+LC-filter The first step, again, is to choose the value for the capacitance. Then y assuming the parallel connected inductance L L s to e equal to inductance L s, the inductance L can e solved from Eq.(9). When L is solved and sustituted in Eq.(), the value for inductance L is otained. When all parameters are solved, the resonance frequencies could still e inappropriate. To get the frequencies match with the frequencies specified, some iteration has to e done. The step-y-step procedure for solving the parameter values goes as follows: ) The value for parallel connected network inductance L s and inductance L is to e calculated. ) The new value for inductance L is calculated y sustituting L L s to Eq.(9). 3) The inductance value L is sustituted to Eq.() and the new value for inductance L is otained. 4) The antiresonance frequency and the resonance frequency are confirmed with Eqs.(7) and (9). If the resonance frequency value has not settled to the desired value, next iteration round should e 3 RE&PQJ, Vol., No.4, April 6

In (a) it can e seen that when the resonance frequency f res is not carefully selected the line current is very distorted. In () oth resonance frequencies are carefully placed and the current waveform is much etter. performed using the component values otained from the previous round. After the iteration of the filter component values, the resonance frequencies are settled to the desired frequencies. It is assumed that y placing carefully the resonance frequencies the filter effectiveness on the ripple attenuation can e utilized etter. 4. Numerical examples and simulations The purpose of this section is to demonstrate y numerical examples how the design methods are used. Furthermore, y specifying THD limit for the line current, the differences etween two filter types are rought up. In other words, designing the filters so that they fulfill the line current distortion requirement the performance differences etween the filter types are seen in sizes of the filter parameters. A 5 percent THD limit for the line current is specified, that is a typical rule-of-thum value for acceptale current waveform. The parameter values are given in per unit (p.u.). The per unit system is ased on the nominal apparent power S n of the converter and line-to-line voltage U n. The filter is designed for S n =5 kva and U n =4 V converter. The switching frequency of the converter is.8 khz. The ase values are determined as U n Z = () Sn The value for the ase impedance equals Z = 3. Ω. Base values for the inductance is expressed as Z L = () ω and for the capacitance as C = (3) ω Z The ase values for the inductance equals. mh and for the capacitance 995 µf, when the ase angular frequency is ω =πf s = 34 rad/s (f s = 5 Hz). A. LCL-filter The allowed switching frequency current amplitude at the converter side inductor L is i (n sw ) =. p.u. and i (n sw ) =.5 p.u. at the grid side inductor L. The resonance frequency is selected as.5f sw. The amplitude of the voltage components at the switching frequency are assumed to e as u (n sw ) =. p.u. Then.56 p.u. is otained for the inductor L. While d =.5 and k LCL =, the ratio etween the filter inductors r = -/3. The reason for the negative result is that the resonance frequency and the switching frequency current amplitude have not got a common solution. The prolem is solved y either increasing the attenuation d or decreasing f sw. Decreasing the switching frequency f sw is not reasonale and the attenuation is increased. That is, d is decreased to.3 resulting now r =.. Now, L =.6 p.u. and C =.56 p.u. are otained with inductor ratio r and from Eq.(6), respectively. The reason for the high value of the capacitor is that when using a low switching frequency the resonance frequency requirement is fulfilled y choosing a large capacitor. To otain smaller capacitance values a smaller i (n sw ) is to e allowed, which causes L to increase. Values i (n sw ) =.67 p.u. and d =.3 are used. Achieved filter component values are given in Tale I. B. L+LC-filter For L+LC-filter, the key idea was in placing the resonance frequencies. With f sw =.8 khz the placement of f ares is also selected. Next, the resonance frequency f res should e placed so that its frequency equals to the triplen harmonic of the fundamental frequency. In a three-phase three-wire network the triplen harmonics sum up to zero. Furthermore, ecause SVM is used as a modulation method, the resonance frequency should e placed etween the first and the second carrier groups. By 3 RE&PQJ, Vol., No.4, April 6
5 placing the resonance frequency etween the carrier groups, a good attenuation is achieved. The resonance frequency is selected as 3 khz (k L+LC =.6) and. p.u. capacitance C is chosen. Now the parallel connected inductance L L s is assumed to equal the line inductance L s =. p.u. Then the inductance L =.8 p.u. is otained from Eq.(9). Using Eq.(), the value for L =.7 p.u. is otained. With these filter parameter values, a very poor THD = 5 % for the line current is achieved. This can e oserved from Fig.4a where the line current waveform and the frequency spectrum are illustrated. With the parameters presented the resonance frequency f res equals 3.7 khz and therey the lower sideand frequencies of the second carrier group are amplified, causing the line current distortion merely alone. By choosing the capacitance C to equal.3 p.u., new values for other filter components calculated according to the method are L =. p.u. and L =.8 p.u. Now, THD 5 % is achieved for the line current and the resonance frequency equals to 3. khz. Component values for the L+LC-filter that fulfill the THD requirement for the line current are presented in Tale I. 5. Conclusions Filter design methods presented, revealed some important issues that should e noticed while designing a filter for a PWM voltage source converter. When using a modulation method that applies fixed switching frequency, the resonance frequency of the filter has to e placed carefully. In particular, it was shown that when an L+LCfilter is used the placement of the resonance frequencies has a major impact on the performance of the filter. The performance comparison etween LCL- and L+LC filters in terms of the component sizes showed very clearly the superior performance of the LCL-filter over the L+LC-filter. TABLE I.
