description With the higher penetration of renewable energy, the influence of grid equivalent distribution cable impedance on grid-connected inverter stability is attracting increasing attention. In order to suppress the interaction between grid distribution cable impedance and output impedance of the grid-connected system, the active damping strategy is often used. When a capacitive current loop is used, the damping coefficient increases with the grid impedance increasing. However, the excessive damping coefficient will cause the unstable operation of the system. In order to enhance the robustness of the system, a novel control strategy which is suitable for wide-range grid impedance variation is proposed. In this strategy, the capacitor current inner loop is combined with the grid current inner loop, and grid voltage feedforward is included. Since the virtual impedance, active damping and voltage feed-forward are normalized, the changing tendency of the damping coefficient of the grid-current inner loop is opposite to that of capacitor current inner-loop. The overall damping coefficient of the system remains relatively constant when the grid impedance changes, and this effectively suppresses the resonance of the system. In this paper, the method is analyzed and the parameters are designed and optimized. Finally, the simulation and experiment are presented to verify the analysis.
