| description | Due to increasing decentralized power applications, power electronics are gaining importance, also in distribution grids. Since their scope of investigation is diverse, their versatile models and their use in grid calculations are important. In this work, a three-phase grid-synchronous inverter with an LCL filter is considered. It is defined as a component of the “Extended Node Method” to make it applicable in this node-based transient grid calculation method. Because the component stucture always looks the same and the construction of the grid system of equations always follows the same, straightforward process, the model can be applied easily and several times to large network calculations. Furthermore, an approach is developed for how inverter control algorithms are interconnected with the method’s results in the time domain. This allows for the fast analysis of converter control schemes in different grid topologies. To evaluate its accuracy, the developed approach is compared to equivalent calculations with Simulink and shows very good agreement, also for steep transients. In the long term, this model is intended to bridge the gap to other DC systems like electrochemical components and to gas and heating networks with the Extended Node Method. |
