LCL filter is applied in PWM rectifier with the better filtering effect. Its inductor also plays a role in inhibiting the current impact, which not only has a good dynamic performance, but also reduces the system cost. However, LCL filter can cause resonance in certain frequency that affects system performance, as well as the parameters of LCL filter are hard to design. With analysis on the theory and characters of the fixed switching frequency control strategy, an undamped control strategy of three-phase voltage PWM rectifier based on LCL filtering is proposed for the resonance of LCL filter. The delay of system and the fixed switching frequency are used to control the damp. PI regulator’s sampling time is adjusted to achieve the system stability. The structure of system is optimized by the design of simplified capacitance sensor. The simulation results show that this method has better dynamic performance, the current harmonic of grid side has reduced sharply, and the resonance of LCL filter has been inhibited effectively.
