Flyback Cascaded Multilevel Inverter Based SHE-PWM Control for STATCOM Applications

Abstract

This paper presents the closed loop DC-DC flyback converter with multilevel cascaded H-bridge inverter (MCHI) for transformer-less static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) system. The STATCOM system is proposed to be controlled using decoupled dq vector control incorporating the new reactive current reference algorithm and multi-level selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (MSHEPWM) technique. This ensures transient performance enhancement as well as simpler control and modulation technique implementation for dynamic systems. As the proposed MSHEPWM solely depends on adjustable DC-link voltage levels, flyback converter is designed for that purpose to suit wider applications. In current work, a single phase five-levels CHI based STATCOM system incorporated with the aforementioned converters are presented to compensate the reactive power (VAR) at the point of common connection (PCC). The dynamic as well as the transient performances of the developed STATCOM control system and the proposed voltage closed loop control of each converter are investigated to meet different VAR demands at balanced loading conditions. Simulation studies are performed to verify the effectiveness and theoretical analysis of the approaches presented.

“…Selanjutnya dari hasil penelitian di [16]- [18] telah membuktikan bahwa teknik SHEPWM merupakan teknik yang paling andal digunakan untuk memperbaiki kualitas bentuk gelombang tegangan AC inverter multilevel. Teknik SHEPWM juga dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi besar frekwensi pensaklaran dan menurunkan THD inverter multilevel.…”

Blueprint of CBPWM for qZSI using SIMULINK and EZDSP F28335

“…In addition, the progressive development of qZSI topology has been extensively employed to Solar PV system [3]- [4]. The reason behind choosing the aforementioned topology over the traditional two stage power inverters is that it can buck or boost DC supply and then invert it to AC voltage via a single conversion stage [5]- [9]. It also has several advantages such as low construction and material expenditure, smaller footprint, as well as high conversion efficiency [10]- [13].…”

An Improved Response of Multi Level Inverter Based PR Controlled SMPS

“…This converter steps up as well as steps down the input voltage retaining the similar polarity and ground reference for the input as well as output. MOSFET is used as a switching device whose turn-on and turn-off time is less when compared with other switching devices (Law et al, 2017). Switching devices with higher power handling capacity and switching speeds are readily available in the market.…”
