Voltage Balance Control of DC Capacitors of 11-level Cascade STATCOM
The control of voltage balance of DC capacitors is very important for reliable operation of cascade STATCOM.The impact of inverter parameters on the capacitors’ voltage distribution is investigated based on the proposed static mathematical model of cascade STATCOM DC capacitors
and the result shows that different switching loss
parallel loss
and time delay of gate pulse are the main causes of voltage unbalance.For a 11-level cascade STATCOM
fundamental frequency switching and pulse cycle transposition methods are proposed to keep the voltage balance of DC capacitors.Simulation of the PSCAD model of STATCOM verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
