When the utility frequency is outside the range of +/- 1 Hz the inverter
should cease to energize the utility line within 0.2 seconds.
The PV system shall have an average lagging power factor greater
than 0,9 when the output is greater than 50% rated.
Single-phase systems:
The classical solution for single-phase systems was Filtered ZCD as for the PLL
two orthogonal voltages are required.
The trend now is to use the PLL technique also by creating ”virtual”
orthogonal components using different techniques!
Three-phase systems:
Three-phase PLL should deal with unbalnace hence with negative sequence
Moreover in three-phase systems dynamics would be better if synchronizing
to all three phase voltages, i.e. based on space vectors rather then on a scalar
voltage

Filtering introduces delay. There are digital predictive FIR filters without
delay bu with high complexity (very high order!)
The RMS voltage and frequency are calculated once in a period poor

Basic blocks:
Phase Detector (PD). This block generates an output signal proportional to the phase
difference between its two input signals. Depending on the type of PD, high frequency ac
components appear together the dc phase difference signal.
Loop Filter (LF). This block exhibits low pass characteristic and filters out the high frequency ac
components from the PD output. Typically this is a 1-st order LPF or PI controller.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This block generates at its output an ac signal whose
frequency varies respect a central frequency as a function of the input voltage.

The transport delay block is easily implemented through the use of a first-in-first-out
(FIFO) buffer, with size set to one fourth the number of samples contained in one
cycle of the fundamental frequency.
This method works fine for fixed grid frequency. If the grid frequency is changing
with for ex +/-1 Hz, then the PLL will produce an error
If input voltage consists of several frequency components, orthogonal signals
generation will produce errors because each of the components should be delayed
one fourth of its fundamental period.

A single phase voltage (v) and an internally generated signal (v’) are used as inputs to a Park
transformation block (αβ-dq). The d axis output of the Park transformation is used in a control loop to
obtain phase and frequency information of the input signal.
v’ is obtained through the use of an inverse Park transformation, where the inputs are the d and q-
axis outputs of the Park transformation (dq-αβ). fed through first-order low pass filters.
Although the algorithm of the PLL based on the inverse Park transformation is easily implemented,
requiring only an inverse Park and two first-order low-pass filters

Setting a low PLL bandwidth and using a low-pass filter it is possible to obtain a
reasonable approximation of the positive sequence voltage but the dynamic is too slow.
Advanced filtering strategies can be used to cancel out the double frequency oscillation
keeping high locking dynamics, e.g., a repetitive controller based on a DFT algorithm.
Additional improvements are added to these filters to make them frequency adaptive.

Conclusions
PLL is a very useful method that enable the grid inverters to:
Create a "clean" current reference synchronized with the grid
Comply with the grid monitoring standards
The PLL generate is able to track the frequency and phase of the input
signal in a designed settling time
By setting a higher settling time a "filtering" effect can be achieved in order
to obtain a "clean" reference even with a polluted grid.
Some PLLs need two signals in quadrature at the input.
For single-phase systems as there is only one signal available, the
orthogonal signal needs to be created artificially.
Transport Delay, Inverse Park Transformation, or Second Order
Generalized Integrators are some the methods used for quadrature signal
generation.
Adaptive notch filters canceling fundamental utility frequency are used as
phase detectors in PLLs
FLL based on a SOGI is a very effective method for single phase
synchronization
