An adaptive frequency phase-locked loop based on a third order generalized integrator

Abstract

In this paper, the basic principle and characteristics of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in a single phase grid-connected system are analyzed, and this paper introduces one type virtual orthogonal voltage vector method based on a third order generalized integrator (TOGI) to construct an alpha and beta static coordinate system. The TOGI structure can eliminate the DC offset in a voltage signal or zero offset in the sampling process, and ensure the amplitude of the virtual orthogonal signal is consistent. At the same time, the adaptive frequency estimation unit is introduced, which can effectively deal with the power grid voltage frequency changes and ensure the accuracy of PLL. MATLAB (R2012a, MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA) is used to simulate the variation of power grid voltage frequency, DC component injection, harmonics injection and other parameters, and the performance of PLL is adequately verified. In addition, a 5kW single-phase energy router experimental platform is built to verify the proposed PLL. The experimental results show that the PLL can well track the frequency change of the grid voltage and eliminate the DC offset, so as to achieve accurate phase tracking.
