| Abstract | |
This thesis introduces a new control strategy of realizing negative inductances with static converters for series compensation of transmission lines. The proposed method, which is basedon DRS (Direct Reactance Synthesis) technique, requires state feedback of variables that can be measured locally. The use of negative inductances instead of capacitors may yield performance improvement because there is no risk of resonance and it is possible to obtain higher stability margins and better dynamic performance. Consequently, it is possible to realize some useful functions that are not possible with conventional strategies, just as flicker ompensation and smoothing of electromechanical oscillations. Series compensation requires high power static converters and, due to this, the use of the Asymmetrical Cascaded Multilevel Converters (ACMC) is suggested. This high efficiency power converter is capable of producing a low THD output voltage using less power switches than other topologies. This thesis also introduces a DC control strategy for ACMC, which may allow negative inductance implementation with no DC sources. It is also suggested a design procedure for choosing the filter capacitance that reduces the required current capability of the power converter. Some studies regarding the stability of series compensation with negative inductances were carried on. For the new control strategy, it was possible to perform the eigenvalues analysis, that proved therobustness under some parameters variations. The stability considering elements that were not modeled, just as stray capacitances or generator and turbine shaft, were tested through simulations. The simulations and experimental results corroborate to prove that the control strategy is suitable for this application (AU) | |
