Abstract

The decentralized distribution of nonlinear harmonic loads drives the trend of harmonic control from local compensation to system-level mitigation. Based on the active power filter (APF) with multi-bus harmonic detections, comprehensive control of harmonic distortions in multiple buses achieves, which is so-called system-level harmonic mitigation. However, existing system-level harmonic mitigation methods require high-speed data exchange for real-time phase synchronization among multiple buses, which reduces the feasibility of the methods. To reduce the burden of communication, a system-level harmonic mitigation method without inter-bus phase synchronization is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the phase synchronization problem is analyzed, and control system of multi-bus detected APF is proposed, in which the reference phase of each detector could be set locally. Then, a new online system-level harmonic mitigation model is introduced and solved to obtain the optimal APF current reference. Subsequently, the closed-loop control strategy of multi-bus detected APF is raised and four control stages are designed to cope with different situations. Finally, an eight-bus network with dynamic harmonic loads is designed in simulation and experiment. According to the results, multi-bus harmonic voltage distortions in the network could meet the standard. The proposed method contributes to achieving good harmonic compensation performance without multi-bus phase-synchronization.
