Muti-level voltage synthetic voltage direct power flow controller

Abstract

Aiming at the defects of DC energy storage elements, complex structure and large volume of unified power flow controller (UPFC), the paper combines flying capacitor multilevel technology and voltage vector synthesis technology with unified direct power flow controller. A three-level direct power flow controller (3L-DPFC) and a new control strategy are proposed. By obtaining the power parameters of the receiving end and substituting them into the derived calculation formula, the compensation voltage can be deduced to adjust the phase and amplitude, and the change relationship between the compensation voltage and the power parameters of the receiving end can be calculated through multiple groups of data, so as to adjust the active power flow and reactive power flow in the power grid. Compared with the unified direct power flow controller, it has the advantages of no DC energy storage element, small volume, simple structure, and the voltage stress of each switch is reduced by half, which reduces the failure rate and economic cost of the controller. In the paper, the topology and control strategy of three-level synthetic DPFC are described in detail, and its buck AC conversion theoretical analysis is verified by simulation.
