Modeling and Simulation of Cascaded STATCOM Based on RTDS

Abstract:

In 2013, China Southern Power Grid (CSG) installed three ±200Mvar STATCOMs on the 500kV substations which are adjacent to the receiving ends of multiple HVDC lines. Based on the project of STATCOM test in CSG, the ±200Mvar cascaded STATCOM simulation model is established in the real-time digital simulator (RTDS) ,the aim is to study the modeling technology of H Bridge valve group by using small time-step and main control strategy .Amounts of tests has been done to verify the validity of the cascaded STATCOM model in different control modes. The RTDS STATCOM model also tested in the closed-loop CSG power network and the transient state response characteristics has been compared with real STATCOM control and protection devices for engineering prototype to verify the feasibility of the model. The constructed model has been successfully applied on the analysis of impacts on AC/DC paralleled CSG with STATCOM using RTDS.
