Abstract
Grid-connected single-phase inverters require accurate phase detection for synchronization and power control. Traditionally, phase-locked loops (PLLs) are used to estimate grid parameters. This paper proposes a novel approach that determines the grid phase angle using only current feedback, eliminating the need for grid voltage measurements or cascaded control schemes. The proposed method integrates a phase angle observer with a current controller to regulate real and reactive power. Lyapunov stability analysis and hardware experiments validate the effectiveness of the approach.
