A New Adaptive Phase-locked Loop for Synchronization of a Grid-Connected Voltage Source Converter: Simulation and Experimental Results

Abstract: In [1] a new adaptive phase-locked loop scheme for synchronization of a grid connected voltage source converter with guaranteed (almost) global stability properties was reported. To guarantee a suitable synchronization with the angle of the three-phase grid voltage we design an adaptive observer for such a signal requiring measurements only at the point of common coupling. In this paper we present some simulation and experimental illustration of the excellent performance of the proposed solution.
