    摘要: A method is configured for operating a converter (10) which is implemented as a modular-multilevel converter and comprises a control arrangement (38) and a number M of phase-legs (21 to 29). The method comprises detecting whether the converter (10) has to be set into one mode of a group comprising a static synchronous compensator mode or a grid unbalance mode, generating mode control signals (MCS) depending on the detected mode, generating balance voltage reference signals (ubal,ref) depending on a first side frequency (ωg), a second side frequency (ωm), second side current reference signals (im,ref) and the mode control signals (MCS), generating a phase-leg control signal (uref), generating cell control signals (51 to S4) and providing the cell control signals (51 to S4) to semiconductor switches (41 to 44) of cells (31) of the phase-legs (21 to 29).

    摘要: An electrical power distribution network includes: a plurality of electrical power control apparatuses, each of which include one or more signal conversion components receiving electrical power in the form of a first signal and generating a corresponding second signal, a controller that controls operation of the signal conversion components, electrical power generation components acting as sources of electrical power to at least some of the electrical power control apparatuses, and electrical power consumption components acting as sinks of electrical power from at least some of the electrical power control apparatuses. The electrical power control apparatuses operate autonomously but are interconnected so that the electrical power control apparatuses collectively maintain the voltages and frequencies of electrical power signals flowing through the electrical power distribution network at target values to compensate for variations in the sinks and/or sources of electrical power.

    摘要: A matrix converter system having a current control mode operation is provided. The system includes a matrix converter having a switching matrix. The matrix converter is coupled at its low-voltage side to a generator and at its output load side to a load. A controller having a pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit is configured to control the matrix converter via its switching matrix to increase energy within the internal inductances of the generator when the switching matrix causes a short circuit. A feed forward calculator is configured to calculate a feed forward output phase angle. The feed forward output phase angle is an estimation of an angle between an output current vector and an output voltage vector that represent feedback signals of current and voltage output by the matrix converter. The angular position of the voltage output vector is adjusted as a function of the feed forward output phase angle to align angular position or phase angle of the voltage output vector that represents the voltage output with a selected angular position or phase angle.
