The use of LCL filters is a well-accepted solution to attenuate the harmonics created by the pulsewidth modulation. However, inherently LCL filters have a resonance region where the unwanted harmonics are amplified, which can compromise stability. Several techniques have been developed in order to tackle this issue. At first the use of passive damping, by intentionally increasing the resistance of the LCL filter components, is a simple, robust, and straightforward solution; however, it decreases the overall efficiency of the system, and hence in general is unwanted. Alternatively, active damping strategies, where the resonance damping is provided by the current controller, are of major interest. This paper analyzes the robustness of the closed-loop dynamics when different active damping techniques are implemented. The analyzed active damping techniques, which have been selected because of their readiness and simplicity, are: 1) filtered capacitor voltage feedforward and 2) second-order filters in cascade with the main current controller. The impedance/admittance stability formulation is used to model the system, which has been proven to be very convenient for the assessment of robustness. Experimental tests are provided in order to show the accuracy of the analysis and verify the findings. This paper proves that filtered capacitor voltage feedforward is a more robust and reliable solution than implementations based on cascade notch filters.
