一种新型的电压源换流器

为了改善轻型直流输电网络的波形质量,目前电压源换流器使用较多的高频开关器件,导致成本增高,损耗加大,限制了其实际应用.提出了一种Buck型电压源换流器(BVSC),该BVSC由一组双Buck变换器和一个工频逆变桥组成,仅用2个高频开关,即可取得较好的输出波形.为了进一步解决大功率应用时的高频开关的局限性,还提出了一种新型的双频控制Buck型电压源换流器(DBVSC),DBVSC在BVSC的基础上附加了一个双Buck变换器,使原BVSC工作在高频,仅处理谐波功率,而附加的BVSC工作在低频,处理基波功率.DBVSC既可以改善换流器输出电流波形质量,又可以减小系统损耗,提高功率等级,特别适合于大功率应用.推导了基于单周控制思想的控制方程,运用简单的控制电路实现要求,通过仿真研究,证实了理论分析的正确性.

Research on a Novel Inverter of VSC

In order to improve waveform performance of light HVDC system, a lot of switches which operate in high frequency are used, which causes large switching losses and results high cost. A new Buck type voltage source converter(BVSC) is proposed. The new BVSC comprises a dual-buck converter and a three-phase inverter operating in grid frequency. Only two high frequency switches are used, which results good output waveform performance. In order to reduce the high frequency switching losses, a novel improved double-frequency Buck type voltage source converter(DBVSC) is also proposed. An additional dual-Buck converter is added to the BVSC, the added dual-Buck converter deals with the fundamental power that operates in low frequency, and BVSC only deals with harmonic power that operates in high frequency. The output waveform is enhanced and the switching losses are reduced in DBVSC, and the power rating is also increased. The DBVSC is very suitable for large power rating application. The one cycle control theory is adopted to control the proposed DBVSC with analog circuit, which is very simple. The proposed DBVSC and control method are verified by simulation.
