This paper proposes a simple active damping algorithm for small-scale wind power systems with an LCL filter. Compared to an L filter or an LC filter, an LCL filter can decrease the harmonics induced by low switching frequencies and produce a satisfactory grid-side current using a comparatively low inductance. Additional active damping of the filter resonance is necessary when an LCL filter is used. This paper introduces an active damping method using a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) filter to improve performance without additional sensors or complexity. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm as an active damping method.
