    摘要: An improved active power line conditioner with fast dynamic response is disclosed. The active power line conditioner includes a series inverter coupled to an energy input source, and a parallel inverter coupled to a non-linear load. The non-linear load is powered by a three phase load current which includes fundamental components and harmonic components.An energy storage element is electrically connected between the series inverter and the parallel inverter. The load current fundamental signal is derived and is multiplied by a derived voltage output/input ratio to render a current reference product. The current reference product may be further modified by a user-set displacement power factor correction ratio. The current reference product is applied to the series inverter for fast dynamic response within the active power line conditioner.

    摘要: The present invention provides an active power line conditioner (APLC) which has improved peak voltage regulation capability when compared with similarly-sized devices constructed according to current teachings. The invention utilizes a control function which, when the AC input voltage is not within a given sinusoidal regulation range of the APLC, superimposes selected harmonics of the fundamental frequency on the reference voltage signal used to control voltage regulation action. This causes the AC output voltage of the APLC to have a nonsinusoidal, but peaking waveform shape. The magnitude of the harmonics are preferably controlled to increase as the amount by which the AC input voltage falls outside the linear regulation range of the active power-line conditioner. In presently preferred embodiments, the chosen harmonic frequency is preferably an odd harmonic of the fundamental frequency, with third or fifth harmonics believed to be particularly useful. To Lessen the potential for unwanted zero crossings of the AC output voltage, means may be provided to modulate the harmonic reference with an envelope frequency equal to twice the fundamental frequency.

    摘要: First and second dc linked, preferably voltage sourced, inverters are connected to an electric power transmission line in shunt and in series, respectively, by coupling transformers. Firing of the GTO-thyristors of the first inverter is controlled to regulate reactive power on the transmission line and to supply real power requirements of the second inverter. The second inverter is controlled to inject into the transmission line in series a voltage which can be adjusted in magnitude and from zero through 360 degrees in phase with respect to the transmission line voltage to selectively adjust any one or more of transmission line voltage magnitude, transmission line impedance and transmission line voltage phase angle. In a high power configuration of the controller each of the inverters includes a plurality of six-pluse inverter modules connected by interstage transformers to form balanced higher order pulse groups controlled through pulse width modulation or through adjustment of the phase between opposite groups to generate the appropriate ac voltages.

    摘要: A subsynchronous resonance mitigation system, including a method and apparatus, for damping undesirable subsynchronous resonance oscillations in a generator, which, if left unchecked, may damage the shafts of a turbine-generator set. A remote coupling apparatus, such as a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) system, a sourced inverter device, or a static phase shifter, is coupled to the generator by a transmission line. In response to a firing command, the coupling apparatus introduces subsynchronous resonance mitigating currents into the transmission line. Sensors monitor power line parameters and/or the generator speed, and in response thereto, a higher-level controller generates a voltage command. A vernier controller responds to the monitored power line parameters and the voltage command to provide the firing command to the coupling apparatus.

    摘要: A device controls a load flow in an alternating-voltage network. The device is distinguished by a module series circuit of two-pole switching modules that can be inserted in series into a phase line of the alternating-voltage network. Each switching module has an energy store and controllable power semiconductors that can be switched on an off and each switching module can be controlled in such a way that a switching-module voltage can be produced at the poles thereof, which switching-module voltage corresponds to a positive or negative energy-store voltage or a voltage having the value of zero. A control apparatus for controlling the switching modules is provided, which control apparatus is configured to control the switching modules in such a way that a periodic longitudinal voltage can be produced at the module series circuit. A method for controlling a load flow in an alternating-voltage network is performed by the device.

    摘要: Legacy automatic variable capacitor KVAR compensation systems typically use either electromechanical devices such as relays or contactors of various forms and types to switch the selected capacitors in and out of the electrical system under some form of electronic control. These systems are slow and discontinuous in their ability to closely regulate the exact value of compensatory capacitance needed to compensate the variable and rapidly changing reactive power KVAR in the electrical power transmission and distribution networks. The present invention provides a fast response active KVAR compensator based on a variable transimpedance topology.

    摘要: Distributed static synchronous series compensators (DSSSCs) which may also be designated tower routers capable of injecting series inductive or capacitive impedances to enable distributed power-flow control. When a large number of these (a fleet of) DSSSCs are distributed over the grid for power-flow control, it is necessary to ensure that coordinated communication and control capabilities are also established, enabling fast reaction to changes that can exist across the grid. A system architecture and method for enabling localized high-speed low-latency intelligent control with communications between subsections (local network) of the grid along with communication to the central Grid operations center at the utility for supervisory control is disclosed herein. The architecture provides sub-cyclic (

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for controlling a Low Voltage Ride Through of a photovoltaic grid-connected inverter. The method for controlling comprises: judging whether a voltage value of a grid is smaller than an upper limit of a low voltage value and is not greater than a lower limit of the low voltage value; when it is judged that a root mean square value of the voltage in the grid is smaller than the upper limit of the low voltage value and greater than the lower limit of the low voltage value, controlling an active current value outputted from the inverter to be equal to a target active current value and controlling a reactive current value outputted to be equal to a target reactive current value, so that a comparison difference between a total current outputted by the inverter in a Low Voltage Ride Through state and a current outputted by the inverter in a normal state is smaller than a preset value. The method and apparatus settle problem that the poor stability is caused since control on the waveform and amplitude of the current is ignored in the Low Voltage Ride Through control on the inverter, such that the total current changes slightly before and after a voltage dip, which can support and stabilize the grid.
