Active-reactive power compensation based on SCES in distribution system

Abstract

A Super Capacitor Energy Storage (SCES) system applied to distributed generation system and distribution network is presented. Application studies of the SCES system for active power supply, voltage control and harmonic elimination are described. With inverter control, both active and reactive power pumped into the utility grid can be controlled. The proposed approach combines a dual-loop voltage and current control and a power control which does not require knowledge of the equivalent impedance of the utility grid the SCES unit is connected to. Furthermore, the proposed power control has superiorities as strong P and Q regulation capability, fast enough response, and purely sinusoidal line current. Finally, experiments are performed to verify the proposed theory which shows its well performances.
