On the Circulating Current Control of ITER Poloidal Field Converter

摘要

The dynamic behavior of circulating current control of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor poloidal field converter is the subject of this investigation. Four quadrants operation with circulating current has proved to be a reasonable way to perform smooth transition at the zero crossover of load current. In this paper, a control method, specially for circulating current control, on the basis of equivalent circuit, is proposed. With simulations it is verified that the circulating current can be controlled in such a way that it never become zero, and load current can change polarity without any discontinuity and dead zone, even if in the case that the total reference voltage of converter changes rapidly.
