Abstract
This paper analyses the fault current characteristics of a flexible DC grid with a power flow controller (PFC) and proposes a coordinated control method for suppression of fault currents between the PFC and the DC circuit breaker (DCCB). The equivalent circuits of the PFC during different stages of the DC fault are analyzed. Moreover, the influence of the output voltage of the PFC on the fault current is studied. After that, the current suppression characteristics of the current limiting reactor (CLR) and PFC are investigated. Due to the output voltage of the PFC can be flexibly adjusted during the DC fault, the fault current can be suppressed significantly by adjusting the output voltage of the PFC when the DC fault is detected. This paper adopts a bang-bang control for PFC during the fault. Finally, a simulation model was built in Matlab/Simulink to verify the fault current characteristics of the DC grid containing the PFC, and the coordinated control of the PFC was verified.
