Selective Harmonic Current Rejection for Virtual Oscillator Controlled Grid-Forming Voltage Source Converters

Virtual oscillator control (VOC) is a nonlinear grid-forming controller that simultaneously achieves the functionality of output voltage control and primary control layers in a power electronics interfaced distributed generation (DG) unit. Unlike conventional phasor-based primary control methods such as the droop control and virtual synchronous machine control, VOC is a time-domain controller that can guarantee almost global asymptotic synchronization. However, the high-frequency dynamics has largely been ignored in the analysis of VOC in prior art; as a result, VOC-based DGs fail to suppress harmonic current in the presence of harmonic distortion in the network-side voltage. In this work, we demonstrate that frequency-domain method can be used for oscillator-based converters in the high-frequency range, specifically, for harmonic mitigation in the converter output current. We propose a virtual impedance-based selective harmonic current suppression method, and demonstrate that it is better to use the network-side current feedback rather than that of the converter-side current for VOC implementation with virtual impedance control. Established harmonic rejection strategies for grid-following and conventional grid-forming converters are compared with the proposed method for VOC. Through impedance-based analysis, we demonstrate that the proposed method augments the passivity range of the converter terminal response with a much simpler implementation. The proposed harmonic suppression strategy is validated through hardware experiments using a single-phase inverter prototype.
