Distributed Unbalanced Current Compensation Control in Distribution Network with Participation of Photovoltaic
The integration of a large number of three-phase unbalanced devices has led to three-phase current imbalance in station areas. Utilizing converters in the distribution network station areas to compensate for unbalanced currents is an effective method to suppress negative-sequence and zero-sequence currents. Three-phase photovoltaic converters are widely used in distribution networks
and their remaining capacity can be employed to address power quality issues. This paper proposes a distributed control strategy for mitigating unbalanced currents in station areas using three-phase photovoltaic converters. First
the three-phase unbalanced power flowing through the station area transformer is measured. Next
based on the remaining capacity of the photovoltaic converters in the station area at the current time
a distributed controller is used to calculate the power command for each converter tasked with compensation. This power command is then issued and executed via low-bandwidth unidirectional communication. Subsequently
the applicability of the proposed control strategy in scenarios involving communication failures and dual-end power supply networks is discussed. Finally
hardware-in-the-loop simulation is conducted in RT-LAB. The results demonstrate that the proposed distributed unbalanced current compensation control can effectively reduce the unbalanced current in the station area under the constraints of photovoltaic converter current limits and is widely applicable to various scenarios in distribution networks.
