The Stability

As for the wide application of arc suppression coil to the grounding in neutral point of mine high voltage grid, grid leakage fault rules and harmonic characteristics of the neutral point grounding system through arc suppression coil are analyzed, the selective leakage protection program “zero-sequence voltage starts, fifth harmonics of grid zerosequence voltage and zero-sequence current are extracted for phase comparison” is proposed, and corresponding fifth harmonic extraction circuit and power direction discrimination circuit are designed. The experimental results show that the protective principle applies not only to the neutral point insulated power supply system, but also to the power supply system in which neutral point passes arc suppression coil, which can solve selective leakage protection problems under different neutral grounding ways, improving the reliability of selective leakage and guaranteeing the stability of the action value.

Small Voltage

The balance control of neutral-point voltage (NPV) is important in the three-level converter. In this paper, this problem is studied by taking the VIENNA circuit as an example. The deviation of NPV is essentially caused by mismatch between the charging and discharging time of two series capacitors by the neutral-point current flowing into or out of the DC side. The unbalanced NPV will lead to unbalanced voltage stress of two capacitors and power switches and may cause overvoltage damage to both and also increase the total harmonic distortion (THD) and harmonic components in the AC current. In this paper, by analyzing the role and effect of a small-voltage vector on NPV, a control strategy based on the selection method of dynamical adjustment for a small vector is proposed. By judging the fluctuation of NPV, different small vectors are dynamically selected to act to adjust the NPV. For verification, the proposed strategy is compared with the traditional zero-sequence voltage injection (ZSV-J) method through simulation and experiment. Compared with ZSV-J, the THD of AC current is decreased by about 27.2%, the efficiency is increased by about 1.66%, and the adjustment speed of NPV is increased by about 50%. Therefore, the feasibility and advantages of the strategy are verified.

The neutral-point (NP) potential balance control in three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) back-to-back converter is a research nodus. Its current strategies are the same as the strategies of a single three-level NPC converter. But the strategies do not give full play to its advantages that the neutral-point current can only flow through the connected midlines in both sides of the converter but does not flow through the DC-bus capacitors. In this paper, firstly the NP potential model based on the NP current injected is proposed. It overcomes numerous variable constraints and mutual coupling in the conventional model based on the zero-sequence voltage injected. And then on this basis, three NP-potential balance control algorithms, unilateral control, bilateral independent control, and bilateral coordinated control, are proposed according to difference requirements. All of these algorithms use the midlines rather than the DC-bus capacitors to flow the NP current as much as possible. Their control abilities are further quantitatively analyzed and compared. Finally, simulation results verify the validity and effectiveness of these algorithms.

Low-voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution has attracted attention due to increased DC loads, the popularization of electric vehicles, energy storage systems (ESS), and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). This paper studies a ±750 V bipolar DC distribution system and applies a 3-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) AC/DC converter for LVDC distribution. However, the 3-level NPC converter is fundamental in the neutral-point (NP) imbalance problem. This paper discusses the NP balance control method using zero-sequence voltage among various solutions to solve NP imbalance. However, since the zero-sequence voltage for NP balance control is limited, the NP voltage cannot be controlled to be balanced when extreme load differences occur. To maintain microgrid stability with bipolar LVDC distribution, it is necessary to control the NP voltage balance, even in an imbalance of extreme load. In addition, due to the bipolar LVDC distribution, the pole where a short-circuit condition occurs limits the short current until the circuit breaker operates, and a pole without a short-circuit condition must supply a stable voltage. Since the conventional 3-level NPC AC/DC converter alone cannot satisfy both functions, an additional DC/DC converter is proposed, analyzed, and verified. This paper is about a 3-level NPC AC/DC converter system for LVDC distribution. It can be used for the imbalance and short-circuit condition in bipolar LVDC distribution through the prototype of the 300 kW 3-level NPC AC/DC converter system and experimented and verified in various conditions.
