Abstract
In this paper, a comprehensive control scheme for a delta-connected cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converter-based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is presented, especially focusing on improving dynamic performance by novel feedforward control method. The method can conspicuously improve the dynamics of zero-sequence circulating current regulation of delta-connected CHB STATCOM especially under grid fault condition as well as load unbalance without excessive dc cell capacitor voltage fluctuation. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by mathematical proof. Finally, the full-scaled simulation results and the down-scaled experimental results verify that stable operation is guaranteed for both emulated grid and load unbalance conditions.
