The present invention discloses a STATCOM
system and a control method for a cascaded H-bridge without electrolytic capacitors, belonging to the field of power electronic control. The
system comprises: a three-phase
power grid, a three-phase
reactive load, a filtering
inductor and a three-phase cascaded N double-Buck multiplexed H-bridge, N≥2; the double-Buck multiplexed H-bridge comprises: four fully controlled switch tubes S1-S4, two decoupling inductors L r1 and L r2 , three film capacitors C r1 , C r2 and C d ; said C r1 Passing by L r1 Connected to the midpoint of the first bridge arm of the
H bridge to form the first bidirectional Buck circuit. This bidirectional Buck circuit and the first bridge arm of the
H bridge realize switch tube
multiplexing. r2 Passing by L r2 The second bidirectional Buck circuit is connected to the midpoint of the second bridge arm of the
H bridge, and the bidirectional Buck circuit and the second bridge arm of the H bridge realize switch tube
multiplexing; the
system as a whole adopts a star connection. The present invention utilizes multiplexed
active power decoupling technology to eliminate the
double frequency fluctuation of the H bridge DC side
voltage, realizes the replacement of electrolytic capacitors with film capacitors, and improves the
power density and reliability of the device.
