1results about How to "Reduce capacitor voltage fluctuations" patented technology

This invention belongs to the field of power electronic converter technology, specifically disclosing a direct optimization model predictive control method and system for an MMC-STATCOM system. The method includes: calculating the differential-mode voltage and common-mode voltage between the upper and lower arms of each phase; injecting third harmonic voltage into the upper and lower arms of each phase to obtain the upper and lower arm voltages of the newly added third voltage component for each phase; based on the obtained upper and lower arm voltages of the newly added third voltage component, determining the number of sub-modules to be engaged in each phase's upper and lower arms using a nearest-level approximation modulation strategy; sorting the sub-modules according to the capacitor voltage of each sub-module in the arm; and determining the engaged sub-modules for each arm according to the current direction. This invention, while maintaining the discrete control structure, achieves direct injection of third harmonic voltage under the MPC framework, exhibiting higher real-time performance and scalability.
