This paper presents the current limit strategy of voltage controller of delta-connected H-bridge static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) under an unbalanced voltage fault event. When phase to ground fault happens, the feasibility to heighten the magnitude of sagging phase voltage is considered by using symmetric transformation method in delta-structure STATCOM. And the efficiency to cover the maximum physical current limit of switching device is considered by using vector analysis method that calculate the zero sequence current for balancing the cluster energy in delta connected H-bridge STATCOM. The result is simple and obvious. Only positive sequence current has to be used to support the unbalanced voltage sag. Although the relationship between combination of the negative sequence voltage with current and zero sequence current is nonlinear, the more negative sequence current is supplying, the larger zero sequence current is required. From the full-model STATCOM system simulation, zero sequence current demand is identified according to a ratio of positive and negative sequence compensating current. When only positive sequence current support voltage sag, the least zero sequence current is needed.

In this paper, a dual-converter three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier based on unbalanced one-cycle control (OCC) strategy is proposed. The proposed rectifier is used to eliminate the second harmonic waves of DC voltage and distortion of line currents under unbalanced input grid voltage conditions. The dual-converter PWM rectifier employs two converters, which are called positive-sequence converter and negative-sequence converter. The unbalanced OCC system compensates feedback currents of positive-sequence converter via grid negative-sequence voltages, as well as compensates feedback currents of negative-sequence converter via grid positive-sequence voltages. The AC currents of positive- and negative-sequence converter are controlled to be symmetrical. Thus, the workload of every switching device of converter is balanced. Only one conventional PI controller is adopted to achieve invariant power control. Then, the parameter tuning is simplified, and the extraction for positive- and negative-sequence currents is not needed anymore. The effectiveness and the viability of the control strategy are demonstrated through detailed experimental verification.

A reliable fault phase selection algorithm plays a very important role in transmission line protection, Particularly in Extra High Voltage (EHV) networks. The conventional fault phase selection algorithm used the phase difference between positive and negative sequence current excluding load current. But, it is difficult to pick out only fault current since we can not know when a fault occurs and select the fault phase in weak-infeed conditions that dominate zero-sequence current in phase current. The proposed algorithm can select the accurately fault phase using the sum of unit vectors which are calculated by positive-sequence voltage and negative-sequence voltage.

3산 전력 시스템에서 불평형 전원의 전압은 대칭좌표법에 의하여 정상, 역상, 영상성분으로 각각 분해 될 수 있고 또한 전력 시스템에 중성선이 없는 경우 영상성분은 부하측에 나타나지 않게 된다. 따라서 중성선이 없는 불평형 시스템에서는 전원측의 역상성분만을 검출하여 보상함으로써 부하측에 평형된 전압을 공급할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 정상성분의 크기를 제어함으로써 부하에 인가되는 전압의 크기를 조정하는 것이 가능하다. 아울러 이러한 불평형 전압에 의한 각 대칭분은 3상 2상 변환을 통한 동기좌표축상에서의 효율적인 검출이 가능한데, 본 논문에서는 전원의 불평형 성분을 동기좌표축 상에서 순시적으로 검출하여 이를 보상하고 부하의 전압조정 기능 역시 수행하는 순간전압보상기의 보상 알고리즘 및 이때 좌표변환시 필요한 전원의 위상각 정보를 전원의 정상성분에 일치시키는 새로운 위상각 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 보상 시스템의 성능 및 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석하고 실험으로써 검증하였다.

This paper presents a new control scheme for a DVR(Dynamic Voltage Restorer) system consisting of series voltage source PWM converters. To control negative sequence component of source voltage the detection of negative sequence is necessary. Generally, filtering process is used tn do that. Through this filtering process has some problems. This paper suggests a new method of separating positive and negative sequences. This control system is designed using differential controllers and digital filters, and positive sequence and negative sequences are controlled respectively. The performance of the presented controller and scheme are confirmed through simulation and actual experiment by 2.5kVA prototype DVR.

The circulating current control within the phase legs is one of the main control objectives in a modular multilevel converter (MMC) under different operating conditions. This paper proposes a control strategy of circulating currents in the MMC under unbalanced voltage by using a proportional-resonant (PR) controller. Under the unbalanced voltage, the circulating currents in the MMC consists of three components such as positive-sequence, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence circulating currents. With the PR controller, all components of the circulating current will be directly controlled in the stationary reference frame without decomposing into positive- and negative-sequence components. Thus, the ripples in the circulating currents and the DC current are suppressed under the unbalanced voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results based on PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.

본 연구에서는 왜형되고 불평형인 전원의 정상분 순시전압 검출기법(Detection Method of Instantaneous Positive Sequence Voltage : PSD)에 의한 3상 3선 능동전력필터 시스템을 제작하였다. 불평형 및 왜형된 전원전압은 PSD에 의하여 정상분 순시전압을 실시간으로 검출한 후 순시전력이론의 상변환 행렬을 연산하고 있으며, 따라서 왜형되고 불평형된 전원조건에 순시전력이론을 적용하기 위하여 종전의 순시전력이론의 수학적인 구조를 변경할 필요가 없다. 본 연구에서 구현된 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위해, 왜형된 B상 전압을 20% 증가시킨 전원과 불평형 비선형 부하 조건하에서 정상상태 및 과도상태의 실험을 수행하였으며, PSD가 없는 방법에 비하여 구현된 방법의 유용성을 입증할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a point of common coupling (PCC) voltage compensation algorithm using a current limitation strategy for use in distributed generation (DG). The proposed strategy maintains the PCC voltage by prioritizing currents when an output current reference is larger than the current capacity of the power condition system (PCS) of the DG. With this strategy, the DG outputs the active current, reactive current, and the negative sequence current. The DG uses the reactive current for maintaining the PCC voltage within a normal range; the negative sequence current is used for reducing the PCC voltage unbalance. The proposed method was verified using PSIM simulation and experimental results.

This paper proposes a virtual flux (VF) and positive-sequence power based control strategy to improve the performance of grid-interfaced three-phase voltage source converters against unbalanced and distorted grid conditions. By using a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) based VF observer, the proposed strategy achieves an AC voltage sensorless and grid frequency adaptive control. Aiming to realize a balanced sinusoidal line current operation, the fundamental positive-sequence component based instantaneous power is utilized as the control variable. Moreover, the fundamental negative-sequence VF feedforward and the harmonic attenuation ability of a sequence component generator are employed to further enhance the unbalance regulation ability and the harmonic tolerance of line currents, respectively. Finally, the proposed scheme is completed by combining the foregoing two elements with a predictive direct power control (PDPC). In order to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed SOGI-VFPDPC, the scenarios of unbalanced voltage dip, higher harmonic distortion and grid frequency deviation are investigated in simulation and experimental studies. The corresponding results demonstrate that the proposed strategy ensures a balanced sinusoidal line current operation with excellent steady-state and transient behaviors under general grid conditions.

This paper presents a new control scheme for a DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) system consisting of series voltage source PWM converters. To control the negative sequence components of the source, it is necessary to detect the negative sequence components. Generally, a filtering process is used which has some undesirable effects. This paper suggests a new method for separating positive and negative sequences components. This control system is designed using differential controllers and digital filters. The positive and negative sequences are extracted and controlled individually. The performance of the presented controller and scheme are confirmed through simulation and actual experiment with a 2.5kVA prototype DVR system.
