Adaptive Notch Filters for Bus Voltage Control and Capacitance Degradation Prognostic of Single-Phase Grid-Connected Inverter

Two adaptive notch filters (ANFs) based on the double integrators (ANFR) and the unbalanced synchronous reference frame control (ANFdq) were applied to the bus voltage control of a single-phase grid-connected inverter. This article also proposes a non-invasive prognostic function for the degradation of the bus capacitance using the difference between the bus ripple amplitudes estimated from the ANFs and thedq-axes currents with the nominal bus capacitance. The ANFR, ANFdq, and conventional notch filters (NFs) were experimentally validated with a 220-V, 50-Hz, 2.5-kW two-stage inverter. The bus voltage control schemes using the three NFs tuned at a fast bandwidth of 30 Hz exhibited identical performance with the grid current harmonics complied with the IEEE 1547 standard. Moreover, the ANFRand ANFdqcontrol schemes maintain low current distortion with a variable grid frequency of 45–55 Hz. The capacitance degradation prognostic function accurately responded to a 27% reduction in the bus capacitance. Considering the control performance and computational effort, the ANFRis suitable for bus voltage control of the single-phase inverter.
