Background technology
At present, STATCOM Reactive Power Control is divided into Direct Current Control and the large class of indirect current control two.Direct Current Control, adopts following-up type PWM control technology to carry out FEEDBACK CONTROL to the instantaneous value of current waveform, the directly generation of control command electric current.Indirect current control, is phase place and the amplitude that produces alternating voltage first-harmonic by controlling STATCOM inverter, indirectly controls the ac-side current of STATCOM.Because Direct Current Control method is the tracking control to current instantaneous value, in the situation that switching frequency can meet the demands, control system response speed is very fast.And indirect current control method is not very high to the requirement of switching frequency, the technology such as normal and multiplex, many level, the PWM control large capacity STATCOM of applying that combines, but the response time is longer.
Cascade H bridge type multi-electrical level STATCOM is formed by the cascade of multiple voltage-type H bridge inverter, and the DC side of each cascade inverter unit provides voltage support by capacitor.Because each DC bus capacitor device is relatively independent, if each unit power output loss and parameter unbalanced or each unit there are differences, will cause the imbalance of each unit DC capacitor voltage, thereby cause that STATCOM control performance declines, even cause DC bus capacitor overvoltage, threaten equipment safety operation.
In the cascade multi-level STATCOM of employing phase shift Carrier-based PWM mode, the balance control strategy of DC capacitor voltage mainly comprises employing additional firmware circuit and does not adopt the large class of additional firmware circuit control two.
Adopt the method for additional firmware circuit to have: by carrying out the equivalent loss of adjusting device at a DC bus capacitor device adjustable resistance in parallel, based on ac bus method of energy exchanging with adopt DC bus method of energy exchanging etc.Additional hardware circuit has increased the complexity of STATCOM circuit topological structure, has improved control difficulty, has reduced the reliability of device, has increased device excess loss and cost.
Do not adopt the strategy of additional firmware circuit control DC capacitor voltage balance to mainly contain: the independent control strategy of DC capacitor voltage, the DC capacitor voltage hierarchical control strategy based on power signal and the method control capacitance balance of voltage that adopts phase-splitting transient current to follow the tracks of, list of references [1]-[4].
