According to this method, the equivalent grid impedance at a PCC of one GCI in the multi-inverter system based on the double split transformer is obtained with a grid impedance identification algorithm, and when the equivalent grid impedance gradually increases, namely the power grid respectively operates in the strong grid, weak grid and extremely-weak grid, the system sequentially operates in a full current source mode, a hybrid mode, and a full voltage source mode, thereby effectively improving the stability of the multi-inverter system based on the double split transformer during variation of the strength of the grid. The present invention is implemented simply, and greatly increases the stability margin of the multi-inverter system based on the double split transformer during the drastic fluctuation of the grid impedance; and particularly, the present invention ensures that the system can still operate stably in the extremely-weak grid, and makes the system more adaptable to the power grid.

The multi-inverter system includes two identical GCIs; the GCIs each are connected to a photovoltaic cell panel; and one double split transformer is connected to the multi-inverter system composed of two GCIs.

[0084] FIG. 2 illustrates a topological structure of a single GCI in a multi-inverter system based on a double split transformer according to the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the single GCI is a three-phase full-bridge GCI, and the topological structure includes a direct-current (DC)-side filter capacitor C.sub.dc, a topology of a three-phase bridge inverter, an inverter-side inductor L.sub.1, a filter capacitor C, a damping resistor R.sub.d, a grid-side inductor L.sub.2 and a PCC. In the embodiment, C.sub.dc=600 μF, L.sub.1=0.9 mH, C=20 μF, R.sub.d=0.6Ω, and L.sub.2=0.05 mH.

[0086] Specifically, the control method includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: Select any GCI from the multi-inverter system, label the GCI as a 1 # GCI and the other GCI as a 2 # GCI, acquire an equivalent grid impedance at a PCC of the 1 # GCI with a grid impedance identification algorithm, and label the equivalent grid impedance as a reference equivalent grid impedance Z.sub.g_est.

[0088] Step 2: Set a lower boundary value λ.sub.1 of equivalent grid impedance and an upper boundary value λ.sub.2 of equivalent grid impedance, and perform the following determinations and operations according to the reference equivalent grid impedance Z.sub.g_est in Step 1:

[0089] Determine, in response to Z.sub.g_est≤λ.sub.1, that a power grid is in a strong grid state, set the multi-inverter system to operate in the full current source mode, and end a control process.

[0090] Determine, in response to λ.sub.1<Z.sub.g_est≤λ.sub.2, that the power grid is in a weak grid state, set the multi-inverter system to operate in the hybrid mode, and end a control process.

[0091] Determine, in response to Z.sub.g_est>λ.sub.2 that the power grid is in an extremely-weak grid state, , set the multi-inverter system to operate in the full voltage source mode, and end a control process.

[0092] The full current source mode means that the two GCIs operate in a current source mode; the hybrid mode means that one GCI operates in the current source mode, and the other GCI operates in a voltage source mode; and the full voltage source mode means that the two GCIs operate in the voltage source mode.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 illustrates an experimental waveform of a dual-mode combined control strategy for a multi-inverter system based on a double split transformer. The experimental process is described as follows:

[0141] Time period t.sub.1-t.sub.2: the 0.2 mH inductor is connected to the system at the time t.sub.1 to simulate the strong grid. According to the flow chart for implementation in FIG. 3, both the 1 # GCI and the 2 # GCI operate in the current source mode because of Z.sub.g_est≤λ.sub.1=0.98 mH. FIG. 8 illustrates an enlarged experimental waveform of the time period t.sub.1-t.sub.2 in FIG. 7. It can be seen that the grid current i.sub.ga and the capacitor voltage u.sub.Cab are stable, with the 75 Hz harmonics (which is the response obtained by injecting 75 Hz harmonics into the GCI using the grid impedance identification algorithm). In addition, the output of the grid impedance identification is 0.2 mH, and the flag of control modes of the 1 # GCI and the 2 # GCI are 0, indicating that the system operates in the full current source mode.

[0142] Time period t.sub.2-t.sub.3: the 1 mH inductor is continuously put into the system at the time t.sub.2 to simulate the weak grid. According to the flow chart for implementation in FIG. 3, the 2 # GCI operates in the voltage source mode, and the 1 # GCI still operates in the current source mode because of λ.sub.1=0.98 mH<Z.sub.g_est≤λ.sub.2=2 mH. FIG. 9 illustrates an enlarged experimental waveform of the time period t.sub.2-t.sub.3 in FIG. 7. The grid current i.sub.ga and the capacitor voltage u.sub.Cab are still stable; and because of the grid impedance identification algorithm, there are 75 Hz harmonics in the voltage waveform and the current waveform. In addition, the output of the grid impedance identification is 1.2 mH, and the change of the grid impedance can be tracked in real time. The flag of control modes of the 1 # GCI and the 2 # GCI are 0 and 1 respectively, indicating that the system operates in the hybrid mode.

[0143] Time period t.sub.3-t.sub.4: the 1.6 mH inductor is continuously put into the system at the time t.sub.3 to simulate the extremely-weak grid. According to the flow chart for implementation in FIG. 3, both the 1 # GCI and the 2 # GCI operate in the voltage source mode because of Z.sub.g_est>λ.sub.2=2 mH. FIG. 10 illustrates an enlarged experimental waveform of the time period t.sub.3-t.sub.4 in FIG. 7. The grid current i.sub.ga and the capacitor voltage u.sub.Cab are still stable; and because of the grid impedance identification algorithm, there are 75 Hz harmonics in the voltage waveform and the current waveform. In addition, the output of the grid impedance identification is 2.8 mH, and the change of the grid impedance can be tracked in real time. The flag of control modes of the 1 # GCI and the 2 # GCI are 1, indicating that the system operates in the full voltage source mode.

[0144] Time period t.sub.4-t.sub.5: the 1.6 mH inductor is continuously put into the system at the time t.sub.4. Both the control strategy and the experimental waveform are the same as those in the time period t.sub.2-t.sub.3.

[0145] Time period 646: the 1 mH inductor is continuously put into the system at the time t.sub.5. Both the control strategy and the experimental waveform are the same as those in the time period t.sub.1-t.sub.2.

[0146] In conclusion, the experimental waveform in FIG. 7 is in good agreement with the flow chart for implementation in FIG. 3. The present invention is implemented simply, and greatly increases the stability margin of the multi-inverter system based on the double split transformer during the drastic fluctuation of the grid impedance; and particularly, the present invention ensures that the system can still operate stably in the extremely-weak grid, and makes the system more adaptable to the power grid.
