•A small-signal model of the grid-connected system of SSVSI is established. The model fully considers the power coupling phenomenon in the system and provides a basis for in-depth analysis of the system characteristics.•The effects of grid equivalent resistance and SSVSI control parameters on the system are comprehensively analyzed. The effects of power coupling on the stable region of control parameters are quantitatively analyzed. In addition, the contradiction between SFR suppression and power coupling is analyzed when the virtual resistance is introduced.•An SFR suppression method based on band-stop filters is proposed. The proposed method effectively suppresses the resonance peaks without changing the original control parameters of the system, and improves the power response speed of the system. In addition, the proposed method avoids exacerbating the power coupling of the system compared to the virtual resistance method. Self-synchronizing voltage source inverter (SSVSI) can effectively improve grid frequency stability. However, the synchronous frequency resonance (SFR) inevitably exists in SSVSI. In this paper, a small-signal model considering power coupling is established to analyze the system characteristics. It is found that the control parameter adjustment and the virtual resistance method can suppress the SFR. However, the control parameter adjustment will change the dynamic and steady-state characteristics of the system, and the virtual resistance method will exacerbate the power coupling of the system. For this reason, based on the idea of eliminating the resonance peaks, this paper proposes an SFR suppression method based on band-stop filters. By connecting band-stop filters in series in the active power control loop (APCL) and the reactive power control loop (RPCL), the proposed method effectively suppresses the resonance peaks without changing the original control parameters of the system, and the control bandwidth is wider, which improves the power response speed of the system. In addition, the proposed method avoids exacerbating the power coupling of the system compared with the virtual resistance method. Finally, the simulation and experimental results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the control method.
