Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of voltage regulation technology, specifically to a medium-voltage fast flexible power electronic voltage regulator. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of medium- and low-voltage distribution network construction, electricity load is growing rapidly, and distribution lines are constantly extending. The number of long-distance, heavily loaded power supply lines is increasing, leading to more prominent power quality problems such as low voltage at the line ends, large voltage fluctuations, three-phase imbalance, and excessive voltage harmonics. Especially in remote areas such as Xinjiang, and in rural and urban power grid areas, the voltage quality problems in the distribution network are further exacerbated by factors such as excessively large power supply radius, dispersed load distribution, significant seasonal load fluctuations, and large-scale grid connection of distributed energy sources. This results in the load-end power supply voltage failing to meet national standards, directly affecting users' normal production and daily electricity consumption, and posing greater challenges to power supply reliability and grid safety. Currently, there is an urgent need for a medium-voltage voltage management device that is fast-responding, highly accurate, functionally integrated, and reliable in operation to address the prominent problem that existing technologies cannot adapt to complex distribution network conditions.

[0003] Currently, voltage regulation and power quality management in 10kV distribution networks mainly employ three technical methods: mechanical or contactless on-load tap changers, line series tap changers, and reactive power compensation devices. However, all of these methods have significant limitations and defects. Traditional on-load tap changers suffer from arcing during regulation, slow response speed, and inability to make frequent adjustments. While contactless on-load tap changers offer some improvement, they are still limited by the voltage withstand capability of components, resulting in a small regulation range. High-low voltage isolation designs are prone to causing control system breakdown, and circulating currents can easily burn out components during switching. Furthermore, they lack reactive power compensation capabilities, which can exacerbate the risk of voltage drops in the main grid when the system has a large reactive power deficit. Line series tap changers can increase the voltage at the end of the line, but they further lower the voltage at the beginning of the line. Under low load conditions, they are prone to overvoltage damage to equipment. Their large size and weight make installation and maintenance inconvenient, and they have poor resistance to load fluctuations. Conventional reactive power compensation devices can only improve low voltage caused by reactive power loss and cannot solve voltage problems caused by active power loss. They can manage current harmonics but cannot suppress voltage harmonics. Overall, their response speed is slow, and they cannot achieve rapid and accurate compensation for transient voltages. In summary, existing technologies generally suffer from problems such as limited functionality, low reliability, complex control, and poor adaptability. They are unable to simultaneously meet the comprehensive needs of rapid voltage regulation, harmonic suppression, reactive power compensation, and uninterrupted power supply during faults, and cannot meet the requirements of high-quality voltage management in new distribution networks.
