A Robust Circuit and Controller Parameters’ Identification Method of Grid-Connected Voltage-Source Converters Using Vector Fitting Algorithm

Challenge and objective

  • In system modelling and analysis  internal parameters may be missing due to intellectual property rights or parameters variation caused by operating condition change, temperature fluctuation, and aging.
  • This will badly affect the accuracy unless these parameters are identified.

Work performed

  • A vector fitting (VF) algorithm for robust parameter identification is developed to identify circuit and controller parameters of the grid-connected Voltage Source Converters based on the measured impedance frequency responses.

Significant results

  • The proposed method is able to identify the circuit and controller parameters when detailed parameters are missing.
  • The effectiveness of the proposed circuit and controller parameters’ identification method is validated by theoretical demonstration, OPAL-RT-based real-time simulation, and experimental validation.

Impact for distribution system innovation

  • The accuracy of modelling and simulation will be improved since uncertain or unknown parameters have less impact on the results.
