Abstract

In this paper, the suppression of the circulating current flowing between inverters in parallel with non-isolated dc-link is described. If the inverters are connected in parallel through sharing inductor, circulating current would follow between inverters. In early researches, the circulating current generally is considered as zero sequence component. However, circulating current is not confined as zero sequence component, because differential current can flow by non-ideal conditions such as unbalanced impedance, different propagation delay and etc. of each inverter. In order to separate the components of the circulating current, equivalent circuits are derived from n-paralleled inverters. Based on these equivalent circuits, it is found that circulating current consists of Zero Sequence Circulating Current(ZSCC) and Differential Circulating Current(DCC). To minimize the circulating current and improve performance of total output phase current, a control scheme to suppress the circulating current is proposed from equivalent circuit models. The proposed algorithm is applied to a system consisted of 3 paralleled 2 level inverters, whose DC-links are connected. And, synchronous Pulse Width Modulation is used for PWM of each inverter. Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
