Parameter Design of Half-Bridge Converter Series Y-Connection Microgrid Grid-Connected Filter Based on Improved PSO-LSSVM.

The half-bridge converter series Y-connection microgrid (HCSY-MG) is a new type of series microgrid. In order to reduce the harmonic content in HCSY-MG grid-connected current and at the same time simplify the parameter design process of the LCL filter, this study proposed an LCL filter parameter design method based on an improved particle swarm optimization-least squares support vector machine (PSO-LSSVM) by analyzing the harmonic characteristics of the HCSY-MG grid-connected current. In addition, to enhance the convergence speed of PSO-LSSVM, the inertia factor during its parameters' update is made to adjust adaptively according to the direction of two consecutive parameter changes to constitute an improved PSO-LSSVM. Through simulation and comparative analysis, it is demonstrated that the improved PSO-LSSVM can enhance the convergence speed; the proposed filter parameter design method can effectively reduce the harmonic content in the HCSY-MG grid-connected current and is simpler and more comprehensive than the existing design method.
