VI. C ONCLUSION
In this paper, the control and damping of both VSC and CSC
systems with LC filters have been investigated. It is shown that
the LC resonance will appear in both VSC and CSC systems,
even with a multiloop control scheme. This LC resonance can
be effectively dampened by employing control-signal-shaping
techniques. For converter systems with a variable LC reso-
nance, the virtual harmonic resistive damper can be imple-
mented. It was also shown that the combination of the virtual
harmonic damper and control signal shaping can be used to
address the transient issue associated with the virtual harmonic
damper and the parameter sensitivity of control-signal-shaping
methods. This combination approach is particularly suitable for
a grid-interfacing converter system considering the grid voltage
disturbances and limited variation range of grid impedance. Ex-
perimental investigations have been conducted on both a high-
