Implementation of Differential Equation of Single-Phase Source-Load System Based Control Algorithm for Three-Phase DSTATCOM under Stiff Source

摘要

This paper focuses on implementation of differential equation of the single-phase source-load system based control algorithm for three-phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in a power distribution system with a stiff source. The DSTATCOM has been adopted to alleviate the power quality issues such as load unbalancing, reactive power, and current harmonics, which are caused by solid-state equipment and devices. The proposed control algorithm is employed for extraction of fundamental active and reactive current components of polluted load currents, which are used for estimation of reference source currents. The control algorithm carries out computations by using a sliding sampling window that has a width of half of the fundamental cycle. The primary advantages of this control algorithm are immune to noise, not influenced from DC component that may exist in load current, and being less affected from frequency deviations. A prototype of voltage source converter (VSC)-based DSTATCOM is developed using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) processor to validate the proposed control algorithm and its performance is analyzed under steady-state and dynamic conditions. Experimental results demonstrate satisfactory performance of the DSTATCOM with the proposed control algorithm under linear and non-linear loads.
