Title: Adaptive Extremum Seeking Control Based LCL Filter Resonant Frequency Online Estimation

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics

The LCL filter has been widely used in the grid-tied inverter systems. However, the resonance of the LCL filter can reduce the system stability margin and the control performance. Moreover, the grid impedance variations can lead to the drift of the resonant frequency, which can further worsen the system robustness. Thus, it is important to know the actual resonant frequency of the LCL filter. In this letter, an adaptive extremum seeking control (AESC) based estimation scheme is proposed to estimate the resonant frequency of the LCL filter online. Further by injecting a high-frequency (HF) signal into the inverter output voltage, the AESC scheme can identify the extremum of the LCL filter amplitude response, i.e., resonant peak. The amplitude of injection signal is adaptive based on the inverter HF response, which can address the tradeoff between the dynamic response and inverter output current quality. Most importantly, compare to other method, the proposed scheme has very low computational complexity, which minimizes the burden to the normal inverter controller operation. Stability analysis is given in this letter, and experimental studies are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
