为克服传统广义有源电力滤波器(GAPF)的缺点,提出了一种采用模块化多电平技术的GAPF(GAPF/MMC),提高了装置的电压等级和波形质量。详述了GAPF/MMC的拓扑结构、工作原理、控制方法及调制策略,给出了子模块电容电压的平衡方法。试验结果表明,GAPF/MMC在实现综合补偿的基础上可有效降低输出电压的谐波含量和网侧滤波电抗的容量、功耗,适合在高压大功率领域中应用。
In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional generalized active power filter (GAPF) ,a GAPF based on modular multilevel converter (GAPF/MMC) was proposed which has higher waveform quality and voltage rating. Its topology, operating principle, control method and modulation strategy were described. The balancing method of capacitor voltages of sub modules was presented. The experimental results show that GAPF/MMC can effectively reduce the harmonic content of output voltage and the capacity and power consumption of system side reactance while realizing comprehensive compensation, and is suit able for application in high voltage and power field.
