A Study on Linear Control Method of Voltage Type Reactive Power Compensator

전압형 무효전력 보상장치의 선형제어방식에 대한 연구

This paper proposes a novel control method of voltage type current-controlled reactive/harmonic compensator. The proposed method does not rely on the explicit computation of load power, but indirectly controls the compensation current by regulating dc link voltage of the converter. It is shown that the system can be modeled as a simple linear system that facilitates an analytical approach to the system characteristics. With the model, the effects of the controller gains on the dynamic and steady state response of the system are investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed control method works well in spite of the simplicity of control circuitry.
