Item Frequency-adaptive stationary-reference-frame grid voltage sequence detector for distributed generation systems(2011-09) Robles, Eider; Pou, Josep; Ceballos, Salvador; Zaragoza, Jordi; Martín, José Luis; Ibañez, Pedro; RENOVABLES OFFSHORE; POWER ELECTRONICS AND SYSTEM EQUIPMENT; SGThis paper proposes a stationary-frame sequence detector (SFSD) structure for determining the positive sequence in three-phase systems. The structure includes the use of the Clarke transformation and moving average filters (MAFs). The positive-sequence phase angle can be obtained from the alpha-beta components; however, such a detection becomes inaccurate if the grid voltages are unbalanced and/or distorted. The MAF is used to filter the nonideal components. Performance of the MAF is analyzed mathematically for a proper selection of the window width of the optimal filter in this application. The time delay introduced by MAFs is constant and known; hence, this may be compensated. The proposed detector structure allows fast detection of the grid voltage positive sequence (within one grid voltage cycle). The MAF completely eliminates any oscillation multiple of the frequency for which it is designed; thus, this algorithm can overcome the presence of imbalances or harmonics in the electrical grid. Furthermore, it includes a simple frequency estimator that makes the SFSD frequency adaptive and is capable of operating under large frequency changes. The entire SFSD is verified through simulation and experiment, showing very good performance even under several extreme grid voltage conditions.Item Variable-frequency grid-sequence detector based on a quasi-ideal low-pass filter stage and a phase-locked loop(2010) Robles, Eider; Ceballos, Salvador; Pou, Josep; Martín, José Luis; Zaragoza, Jordi; Ibañez, Pedro; RENOVABLES OFFSHORE; POWER ELECTRONICS AND SYSTEM EQUIPMENT; SGThis paper proposes a filtered-sequence phase-locked loop (FSPLL) structure for detection of the positive sequence in three-phase systems. The structure includes the use of the Park transformation and moving average filters (MAF). Performance of the MAF is mathematically analyzed and represented in Bode diagrams. The analysis allows a proper selection of the window width of the optimal filter for its application in the dq transformed variables. The proposed detector structure allows fast detection of the grid voltage positive sequence (within one grid voltage cycle). The MAF eliminates completely any oscillation multiple of the frequency for which it is designed; thus, this algorithm is not affected by the presence of imbalances or harmonics in the electrical grid. Furthermore, the PLL includes a simple-frequency detector that makes frequency adaptive the frequency depending blocks. This guarantees the proper operation of the FSPLL under large frequency changes. The performance of the entire PLL-based detector is verified through simulation and experiment. It shows very good performance under several extreme grid voltage conditions.
