Background technology
At present, the STATCOM Reactive Power Control is divided into Direct Current Control and indirect current control two big classes.Direct Current Control, employing following-up type PWM control technology is carried out FEEDBACK CONTROL, the directly generation of control command electric current to the instantaneous value of current waveform.Indirect current control is phase place and the amplitude that produces the alternating voltage first-harmonic through control STATCOM inverter, comes the ac-side current of control STATCOM indirectly.Because the Direct Current Control method is the tracking Control to current instantaneous value, under the situation that switching frequency can meet the demands, the control system response speed is very fast.And the indirect current control method is not very high to the requirement of switching frequency, the big capacity STATCOM of normal and technological application in conjunction such as multipleization, many level, PWM control, but the response time is longer.
Cascade H bridge type multi-electrical level STATCOM is formed by the cascade of a plurality of voltage-type H bridge inverter, and the DC side of each cascade inverter unit provides voltage to 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 the STATCOM control performance descends, even cause the dc bus capacitor overvoltage, threaten the device safe operation.
In the cascade multi-level STATCOM that adopts phase shift carrier wave PWM mode, the Balance Control strategy of dc capacitor voltage mainly comprises employing additional firmware circuit and does not adopt two big types of additional firmware circuit controls.
Adopt the method for additional firmware circuit to have: through come the equivalent loss of adjusting device at adjustable resistance of dc bus capacitor device parallel connection, based on the 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 the 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: based on the method control capacitance balance of voltage that the independent control strategy of the dc capacitor voltage of power signal, dc capacitor voltage hierarchical control strategy and employing phase-splitting transient current are followed the tracks of, list of references [1]-[4].
