Study on Reactive Power Compensation Control of STATCOM Based on MMC

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduced a new modular multi-level converter (MMC), which could enhance the voltage and power level by sub-converter modules in series and was easy to extend to any level of output. Its structure and working mechanism were described. By analyzing the performance of STATCOM based on MMC working conditions in the reactive power compensation, this paper studied compensation control theory in reactive changing conditions. To obtain compensation control response speed faster and better compensation effect, a compensation control strategy was proposed based on direct current control mode. The simulation results show the strategy has a better tracking precision and response speed for the reactive power compensation.
