Abstract

This  paper  presents  a  new  circuit  topology  of  aphase-locked  loop  that  can  be  used  for  synchronising  a  single-phase wind turbine generator (WTG) with the low voltage utility grid.  The  circuit  is  based  on  the  time-delay  digital  tanlock  loop (TDTL)  architecture  and  was  modelled  and  simulated  using Simulink/MATLAB.   The   results   presented   demonstrate   the ability of the circuit not only to synchronise a WTG with the grid, but    also    to    re-gain    synchronization    following    a    sudden disturbance   in   the   grid   voltage.   The   simulated   disturbances included a ramp and a multi-step change in the phase of the grid voltage waveform.
