When LCL-type converters operate in parallel to
increase system transmission capacity, the coupling will be gener-
ated by the difference of parameters, synchronization control and the change of grid impedance, which will reduce the cohesiveness of a single converter. The coupling analysis method based on the relative gain array(RGA) in the frequency domain is proposed
in this paper to reveal the coupling mechanism of parallel con-
verters. The transfer function model of the LCL-type converter with an active damping control loop is established. A high-order network matrix under multi-machine operating conditions is
constructed based on the analysis of the impedance characteris-
tics of a single converter. Combined with the principle of relative gain, the RGA model of parallel converters is established. And the
main risk factors affecting the coupling characteristics of the par-
allel converter are quantitatively analyzed. Finally, the proposed analysis method is validated by simulation and experimental analysis. The proposed analytical method that can quantitatively analyze the coupling degree and reveal the coupling mechanism of parallel converters, which provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of the software and hardware parameters.
