A New Topology for Simultaneous AC-DC Distribution with the same Line

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new topology for simultaneous AC-DC distribution along the same line is proposed in this paper to integrate DC power with the existing alternating current (AC) distribution, which incorporates a zigzag transformer and a boost chopper. The zigzag transformer is utilized to achieve either coupling or decoupling of the AC and DC power without sensible iron-core saturation due to voltage canceling out on one phase. The boost chopper is used to achieve DC power flow and keep the DC ratings at each node. A simulation model of the novel topology is established with PSCAD software, and detailed comparison verifies that the new topology with a zigzag transformer is preferable to that with a common transformer for simultaneous AC-DC distribution scheme, indicating a promising future of the proposed technology.
