Abstract: With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, a weak grid with declining inertia and distorted voltage conditions becomes a significant problem for wind and solar energy integration. Grid frequency is prone to deviate from its nominal value. Grid voltages become more easily polluted by unbalanced and harmonic components. Grid synchronization technique, as a significant method used in wind and solar energy grid-connected converters, can easily become ineffective. As probably the most widespread grid synchronization technique, phase-locked loop (PLL) is required to detect the grid frequency and phase rapidly and precisely even under such undesired conditions. While the amount of filtering techniques can remove disturbances, they also deteriorate the dynamic performance of PLL, which may not meet the standard requirements of grid codes. The objective of this paper is to propose an effective PLL to tackle this challenge. The proposed PLL is based on quasi-type-1 PLL (QT1-PLL), which provides a good filtering capability by using a moving average filter (MAF). To accelerate the transient behavior when disturbance occurs, a modified delay signal cancellation (DSC) operator is proposed and incorporated into the filtering stage of QT1-PLL. By using modified DSCs and MAFs in a cascaded way, the settling time of the proposed method is reduced to around one cycle of grid fundamental frequency without degrading any disturbance rejection capability. To verify the performance, several test cases, which usually happen in high renewable penetrated power systems, are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PLL.
