An LCL filter is often used to interconnect an inverter to the utility grid in order to
filter the harmonics produced by the inverter.
2
Simple type of filter that can be used is a series inductor,
but its harmonic attenuation is not very pronounced
High voltage drop is produced, hence the size of inductor becomes bulky.

For the design of the filter capacitance, it is considered that the maximum power
factor variation seen by the grid is 5%, indicating that the base impedance of the
system is adjusted as follows:
𝐶𝑓 = 0.05𝐶𝑏
The maximum current ripple at the output of dc/ac inverter is given by
It can be observed that the maximum peak-to-peak current ripple happens at m = 0.5, then

Filter Design procedure
A 10% ripple of the rated current (𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥 ) for the design parameters is given by
∆𝐼𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 0.1𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥
Where,
𝑃𝑛 2
𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 3𝑉𝑝ℎ
Hence, 𝐿1 becomes
The LCL filter should reduce the expected current ripple to 20%, resulting in a ripple value of
2% of the output current.

Filter Design procedure
Now harmonic mitigation, the harmonic current generated by inverter to that of current
injected in the grid is given by:
The constant r is the ratio between the inductance at the inverter side and the one at the grid side
A resistor in series (Rf ) with the capacitor attenuates part of the ripple on the switching
frequency in order to avoid the resonance.
The value of this resistor should be one third of the impedance of the filter capacitor at the
resonant frequency
