A voltage support control strategy based on three-port flexible multi-state switch in distribution networks

摘要

Voltage sags in power system may lead to serious problems such as the off-grid of distributed generation and electrical equipment failures.As a novel type of power electronic equipment,a flexible multi-state switch(FMSS)is capable to support the voltage during the grid faults.In this paper,a voltage control strategy to support the voltage in a distribution network is proposed by introducing three-port FMSS.The positive-negative-sequence compensation(PNSC)scheme is adopted to control the active and reactive current.This control scheme eliminates active power oscillations at the port of voltage sags and reduces coupling oscillations of other ports.Based on the characteristics of the voltage support under PNSC scheme,two voltage support strategies are proposed.A proportional-integral controller is introduced to provide the reactive power references,which eliminates the errors when estimating the grid voltage and impedance.A current limiting scheme is adopted to keep the port current in a safe range by adjusting the active and reactive power references.The voltage support strategies in two different voltage sags are simulated,and results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
