Abstract

In this work, a transformer-less voltage source converter (VSC) based STATCOM is proposed with a combination of cascaded conventional three-phase voltage source inverters. This modular structure provides multilevel operation with reduced switch count and independent DC-link capacitors. The actual contribution of this paper is the transformer-less configuration of a conventional cascaded voltage source converter which provides reduced cost and volume as compared to other transformer-less converter configurations. The system provides reactive power compensation with better power quality when connected to the nonlinear power electronics load also. A simple control system is provided for balancing the Dc link capacitor voltage and reactive power compensation. The validation of the proposed model is analyzed with simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the results are obtained with different linear and nonlinear load configurations.

Abstract

This article focuses on the control of STATCOM for the improvement of reactive power compensation during grid faults and unbalanced load. The problem encountered with convectional voltage source converter based STATCOM for reactive power management and capacitor voltage balancing during grid faults are analyzed and its operational limitations are studied. To remove the above problems, an adaptive low voltage ride through control technique based modular double star cascaded converter (DSCC) STATCOM is proposed. In this dynamic control, the positive reactive currents and negative reactive currents are separately controlled for reactive power management and a zero (Vo) sequence voltage is inserted for the management of active power. This advanced control method effectively balances the submodule capacitor voltage within its prescribed limits by managing the equal distribution of active power between converter legs and provides dynamic reactive power management during grid faults. The effectiveness of the DSCC-STATCOM, with proposed control method is verified using MATLAB/Simulink software-based simulations under single line to ground fault and unbalanced load.
