Abstract
A novel partial power conversion device (PPCD) is proposed to realize power flow control and voltage compensation in a three-phase power distribution system in this paper. The PPCD circuit, which is derived from the conventional push-pull forward converter, can achieve arbitrary voltage output without any large electrolytic capacitors. Thus, the system reliability can be enhanced. Furthermore, the converter has no full-rated components, which reduces the cost. In this paper, an injection model for power flow control is derived. A minimum power transfer control strategy is proposed to minimize the power losses during the operation. A closed-loop control method employing the synchronous reference frame theory for voltage compensation is also developed to enable the precise control. The systems with PPCD are simulated by MATLAB/Simulink to verify the functions. The experiments for voltage compensation are carried out based on a 30-kW prototype, which shows the effectiveness.
