Abstract

The main control loop of the synchronizer of the Grid Forming inverter can be synchronized with the voltage of the grid without using a phase-locked loop. However, in order to enable the inverter to realize the frequency regulation function accurately, a phase-locked loop is still required to obtain the grid`s frequency information. Since the time constants of the phase-locked loop and P-f loop of grid forming control are at the same order of magnitude, the introduction of the phase-locked loop will affect the original dynamic performance of P-f loop. In this paper, small-signal modelling is performed on the P-f loop of the grid forming with considering phase-locked loop to obtain the transfer function of the system. The influence of the cutoff frequency of phase-locked loop on the system dynamics is mainly related to the expected damping of the P-f loop. When the P-f loop of the system is designed to be underdamped, decreasing the cutoff frequency of the phase-locked loop can increase the system damping, which increases the adjustment time and reduces the overshoot. The paper uses controller hardware-in-the-loop to verify the analysis results.
