The use of power electronic converters to interface renewable sources and intelligent loads to electricity distribution systems is increasing at a rapid rate as they bring flexibility and control to the system. However, they also bring an increased level of conducted emissions (CE) to the system due to their switching behaviour - usually at a few tens of kilohertz. The increased emissions are seen particularly in the low-frequency range (2-150 kHz) and it may possibly impair the operation of information and communication technology (ICT) equipment connected to the same system. It is therefore essential to assure accurate measurement of low frequency emissions from a particular piece of equipment, to ensure it meets standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). According to EMC standards, CE are usually measured by using a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). However, the standard LISN bandwidth does not fully cover this low-frequency range (2-150 kHz), resulting in inaccurate measurement and poor repeatability. This paper examines this issue, by investigating the limitations in using the CISPR 16-1-2 LISN topology for CE measurement at low frequency in a grid-tied inverter system, and by proposing a possible solution, which requires adding extra components to the LISN circuit.

Abstract

The use of power electronic converters to interface renewable sources and intelligent loads to electricity distribution systems is increasing at a rapid rate as they bring flexibility and control to the system. However, they also bring an increased level of conducted emissions (CE) to the system due to their switching behaviour - usually at a few tens of kilohertz. The increased emissions are seen particularly in the low-frequency range (2-150 kHz) and it may possibly impair the operation of information and communication technology (ICT) equipment connected to the same system. It is therefore essential to assure accurate measurement of low frequency emissions from a particular piece of equipment, to ensure it meets standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). According to EMC standards, CE are usually measured by using a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). However, the standard LISN bandwidth does not fully cover this low-frequency range (2-150 kHz), resulting in inaccurate measurement and poor repeatability. This paper examines this issue, by investigating the limitations in using the CISPR 16-1-2 LISN topology for CE measurement at low frequency in a grid-tied inverter system, and by proposing a possible solution, which requires adding extra components to the LISN circuit.
