Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic performance of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) AC-DC converter utilizing the advanced control technique of virtual flux direct power control (VFDPC). VFDPC estimates the three-phase grid voltage and instantaneous active and reactive power components, eliminating the need for an AC input voltage sensor used in conventional direct power control (DPC). This reduction in sensors decreases system complexity and cost while mitigating high-frequency noise and interference. Integrating VFDPC into 3L NPC AC-DC converters significantly enhances overall performance, leading to more efficient and robust power conversion systems. However, a significant challenge in the three-level NPC topology is the voltage imbalance in the neutral point of the DC-link capacitor, which can cause excessive voltage stress on switching devices and degrade system performance. To address this, a novel lookup table has been developed, incorporating strategies to balance the capacitor voltage. The results of this study demonstrate that VFDPC generates nearly sinusoidal line currents with reduced current total harmonic distortion (THD). Additionally, VFDPC ensures unity, lagging, and leading power factor operation, while providing flexibility to adjust the DC-link output voltage and accommodate load variations. These capabilities highlight VFDPC effectiveness in managing power quality and system stability, even under varying load conditions.

Abstract

Analyzing power flow or load flow is crucial for planning, operating, maintaining, and controlling electrical power systems. Two traditional power flow methods namely the Newton-Raphson (NR) method are known for their accuracy and robustness nevertheless high computational intensity, and the fast decoupled load flow (FD) method, is valued for its computational efficiency and speed, however, generating less accurate data. This research aims to develop a hybrid load flow technique that integrates both strengths, achieving higher accuracy and faster convergence. The validation processes are based on several IEEE standard bus systems, including the 3-bus, 9-bus, 14-bus, and 30-bus systems. These systems, with different bus types and interconnections, represent real-world operations and help generate comprehensive data on iteration count, execution time, and the accuracy of the output data results. A new hybrid method generated from this research work compared to traditional load flow methods, provides a substantially well-balanced number of iteration counts, the fastest execution times, improved by 41.55%, and produces a similar accuracy of the data set. These improvements make the hybrid method highly advantageous in practical real-time applications and large-scale systems where both accuracy and speed are critical.
