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 introduces a control method for a transformerless MMC-HVDC system. The proposed method can effectively control the grid currents of the MMC-HVDC system under unbalanced grid conditions such as a single line-to-ground fault. The proposed method controls the currents of the positive sequence component and the negative sequence component without separating algorithms. Therefore, complicated calculations for extracting the positive sequence and the negative sequence component are not required. In addition, a control method to regulate a zero sequence component current under unbalanced grid conditions in the transformerless MMC-HVDC system is also proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

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.

Unbalanced source voltages due to unbalanced loads in the 3-phase power system is decomposed into positive, negative and zero sequence components. Also, assuming there is no neutural path in the system, the zero sequence component is not shown. Therefore, it is possible to compensate unbalanced source voltage by canceling the negative sequency component of the voltages of the source. In this paper, an algorithm compensating unbalanced source voltages by canceling the negative sequence component is presented and analysis of instantaneous voltage compensator using 3-phase PWM inverter is carried out through computer simulation.

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.

To avoid undesirable disconnection of healthy wind generators (WGs) or a wind power plant, a WG protection relay should discriminate among faults, so that it can operate instantaneously for WG, connected feeder or connection bus faults, it can operate after a delay for inter-tie or grid faults, and it can avoid operating for parallel WG or adjacent feeder faults. A WG protection relay based on the positive- and negative-sequence fault components is proposed in the paper. At stage 1, the proposed relay uses the magnitude of the positive-sequence component in the fault current to distinguish faults requiring non-operation response from those requiring instantaneous or delayed operation responses. At stage 2, the fault type is first determined using the relationships between the positive- and negative-sequence fault components. Then, the relay differentiates between instantaneous operation and delayed operation based on the magnitude of the positive-sequence fault component. Various fault scenarios involving changes in position and type of fault and faulted phases are used to verify the performance of the relay. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. Results indicate that the relay can successfully distinguish the need for instantaneous, delayed, or non-operation.

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.

A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) applied to rapidly changing, highly unbalanced loads such as electric arc furnaces (EAFs), requires both positive-sequence and negative-sequence current control, which indicates fast response characteristics and can be controlled independently. Furthermore, a delta-connected STATCOM with cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC-sides, should have high performance zero-sequence current control to suppress a phase-to-phase imbalance in DC-side voltages when compensating for unbalanced load. In this paper, actual EAF data is analyzed to reflect on the design of current controllers and a pioneering zero-sequence current controller with a superb transient performance is devised, which generates an imaginary -axis component from the presumed response of forwarded reference. Via simulation and experiments, the performance of the positive, negative, and zero-sequence current control of a cascaded H-bridge STATCOM for EAF is verified.

A symmetrical component decomposition scheme utilizing the characteristics of the asynchronous rotational reference frame transformation is proposed in this paper for the extraction of the positive and negative sequence components of distorted three-phase grid voltages. The undesired frequency component can be removed using a specially designed series coordinate transformation and half-cycle delays, where the delay can be controlled by adjusting the frequency of the rotating reference frame. The extracted symmetrical component can then be compensated based on the applied coordinated transformation. The dynamic response of the proposed algorithm is improved when compared to that of conventional methods. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a novel control scheme compensating source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents for hybrid active power filters is proposed, where no low/high-pass filters are used in compensation voltage composition. The phase angle and compensation voltages for source harmonic current and unbalanced voltage components are derived from the positive sequence component of the unbalanced voltage set, which is simply obtained by using digital all-pass filters. Since a balanced set of the source voltage obtained by scaling the positive sequence components is used as reference values for source current and load voltage, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of low/high-pass filters in the reference generation. Therefore the control algorithm is much simpler and gives more stable performance than the conventional method. In addition, the source harmonic current is eliminated by compensating for the harmonic voltage of the load side added to feedback control of the fundamental component.
