Abstract: The operation of parallel inverters can enhance the reliability of power supply and meet the demand of the grid forming system; however, due to the difference in the Zero Sequence Voltage (ZSV) and the existence of the Zero Sequence Path (ZSP), the problem of Zero Sequence Circulating Current (ZSCC) inevitably occurs. This paper proposes a fixed-time control strategy based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), used in order to suppress the ZSCC issue in a paralleled inverter system. Firstly, the detailed mathematical model of ZSCC is described, where the inductance perturbations are considered according to the generation mechanism of ZSCC, and a novel ZSCC controller is designed based on the principles of the fixed-time stability theory which can assure the action time of the zero vectors in one switching cycle. Secondly, to reduce the influence of the inductor parameters on the ZSCC control effect, the EKF is used to identify the online inductance parameters of the filter, and the robustness of the algorithm can be improved. Subsequently, based on the Lyapunov stability criterion, it has been proved that the proposed control strategy is fixed-time stable. Finally, the simulation and experiments are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
