Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system power quality management technology, specifically involving a characteristic harmonic compensation method based on an improved STATCOM, used for the suppression and compensation of characteristic harmonics in high-voltage DC converter stations. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy in scenarios such as large-capacity transmission, long-distance transmission, and asynchronous grid interconnection. They are a vital supporting technology in modern power systems. However, the core equipment of these systems, converter stations, generate a significant number of characteristic subharmonics during actual operation, commonly including the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics. These harmonics can cause distortion of the grid's bus voltage, posing a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of various devices connected to the grid.
[0003] In traditional harmonic mitigation, the main approach relies on passive filters. While these devices are simple in structure and low in cost, their filtering performance is significantly affected by the system impedance characteristics. Switching passive filters can even cause parallel resonance between the filter and the system background impedance, which can amplify specific harmonic voltages.
[0004] Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs), as flexible AC transmission devices based on fully controlled power devices, are renowned for their rapid reactive power regulation and voltage support capabilities. Their classic control strategies primarily revolve around the fundamental component design, with dynamic reactive power compensation as the core objective. The academic community has made valuable explorations in applying STATCOMs to harmonic suppression, laying the foundation for this research. Building upon this foundation, we further explore a characteristic harmonic compensation method based on an improved STATCOM, aiming to enhance the comprehensive harmonic mitigation performance of STATCOMs under complex power grid conditions.

This method introduces multi-synchronous rotating coordinate system detection technology and fuzzy PI adaptive control to achieve dynamic and accurate compensation of multiple characteristic harmonics without changing the STATCOM main circuit topology.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: The characteristic harmonic compensation method based on the improved STATCOM is characterized by the following steps: Step 1: Real-time acquisition of three-phase current signals from the power grid system side i abc Load current i Labc Grid voltage U s ; Step 2: Extract the grid voltage U s The frequency information is obtained. h The reference phase and frequency of the subharmonic; the load current i Labc pass C abc-dqh The transformation matrix module is converted to the dq coordinate system and decomposed into the load active current components. i Ldh and load reactive current component i Lqh The reference current command value is then obtained after low-pass filtering. i dhref and i qhref ; Step 3: Extract the three-phase current signal from the power grid system side i abc middle h Sub-characteristic harmonic current and through C abc-dqh The change matrix module obtains the active current component. i dh0 and reactive current components i qh0 The system-side current component is obtained after low-pass filtering. i dh and i qh As a reference value; Step 4: Compare the separated harmonic current components with the reference values and input them to the fuzzy PI controller to obtain the voltage compensation commands Δ for the characteristic harmonics on the d-axis and q-axis, respectively.

U href ; Step 6: Send each compensation instruction Uhref Compared to the existing reactive power compensation and DC voltage control commands of STATCOM U ref The superimposed input PWM modulation drives the power switching device of the STATCOM, causing the STATCOM to output a current containing characteristic harmonic compensation components.
[0007] In step 1, the three-phase current signal from the power grid system side is acquired. i abc Three-phase load current i Labc Grid voltage U s ,like Figure 1 As shown.
[0008] In step 2, the h The second harmonics include the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th characteristic harmonics. Among them, the 5th and 11th harmonics are negative sequence harmonics, and a negative rotation angle is used for coordinate transformation, i.e., the rotation angle is - ; The 7th and 13th harmonics are positive sequence harmonics, and a positive rotation angle is used for coordinate transformation, i.e., the rotation angle is + ; The h The reference phase and frequency of the subharmonics are extracted from the grid voltage by a phase-locked loop (PLL) to obtain the fundamental phase. θ And obtained through frequency multiplication θ h = h*θ The frequency is f h =h*f 1, of which: θ h This represents the reference phase angle of the h-th harmonic in the synchronous rotating coordinate system. h For harmonic order, f 1 represents the fundamental frequency of the grid voltage.

U href Specifically: (9); In equation (9): U dh and U qh This indicates voltage compensation commands on the d-axis and q-axis.
[0018] In step 6, the two signals are superimposed and then used to generate a drive pulse through a PWM modulator to control the on and off of the fully controlled power devices in the STATCOM, thereby achieving dynamic compensation for characteristic harmonics while retaining the original dynamic reactive power compensation function of the STATCOM.
[0019] This invention discloses a characteristic harmonic compensation method based on an improved STATCOM, with the following technical advantages: 1) This invention, through innovative upgrades to the control algorithm, enables STATCOM to maintain excellent dynamic reactive power compensation performance while integrating comprehensive suppression capabilities of multiple characteristic harmonics, thereby improving equipment efficiency.
[0020] 2) This invention achieves effective separation of characteristic harmonics by accurately transforming multiple synchronous rotating coordinate systems. Combined with the parameter adaptive characteristics of the fuzzy PI controller, the system can quickly track and accurately compensate for characteristic harmonics of different orders and varying amplitudes, and can adapt to complex power grid operating conditions.
[0021] 3) This invention has a clear structure and a high degree of modularity, allowing it to be seamlessly embedded into existing STATCOM control systems as an independent functional unit. This facilitates technical improvements without requiring large-scale modifications to the main circuit and existing control system, reducing the complexity and cost of engineering applications and improving reliability.
