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 Buck
multiplexing type H-bridge, N≥2; the Buck
multiplexing type H-bridge comprises: an H-bridge composed of switch tubes S1-S4, a decoupling
inductor L r , two film capacitors C d and C r , C r Passing by L r The midpoint of the second bridge arm of the
H bridge is connected to form a bidirectional Buck circuit, and the bidirectional Buck circuit and the second bridge arm of the
H bridge realize switch tube
multiplexing; the midpoint of the first bridge arm of the
H bridge is connected to the midpoint of the second bridge arm of the previous H bridge, and the three phases are connected in star shape. In the present invention, the bidirectional Buck circuit performs
active power decoupling on the one hand, and the fluctuating power on the DC side of the H bridge is transmitted to the L r Transfer to auxiliary
capacitor C r , thereby eliminating the
double frequency fluctuation of the
voltage on the DC side of the H-bridge, realizing the replacement of electrolytic capacitors with film capacitors, and at the same time assisting the first arm of the H-bridge to complete the power conversion on the AC and DC sides, thereby improving the
power density and reliability of the device.
