description The fractional-order LCL filter, composed of two fractional-order inductors and one fractional-order capacitor, is a novel fractional-order π-type circuit introduced in recent years. Based on mathematical modeling, this article comprehensively studies the principles and frequency characteristics of fractional-order LCL filters. Five critical properties are derived and rigorously demonstrated. One of the most significant findings is that we identify the necessary and sufficient condition for resonance in fractional-order LCL filters when the sum of the orders of the fractional-order inductors and the fractional-order capacitor is equal to 2, which provides a theoretical foundation for effectively avoiding resonance in fractional-order LCL filters. The correctness of our theoretical derivation and analysis was confirmed through digital simulations. This study reveals that fractional-order LCL filters exhibit more versatile operational characteristics than traditional integer-order LCL filters, paving the way for broader application prospects.
