An average power balancing method is proposed to support continuous injection of reactive power under grid voltage fault conditions, considering sub-module capacitor voltage balancing and STATCOM maximum phase current protection. Analytical solutions of the STATCOM phase currents are presented. A maximum current limit control scheme is proposed to ensure continuous reactive power injection and STATCOM operation under unbalanced voltage condition. The fault-ride through capability of the SDBC STATCOM under asymmetrical condition is analyzed using the proposed method. A comparative analysis shows that the current requirement of the proposed strategy is superior to the zero-sequence current balancing technique.本誌: IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications Vol.10 No.3 (2021)本誌掲載ページ: 331-338 p原稿種別: 論文/英語電子版へのリンク: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ieejjia/10/3/10_20005237/_article/-char/ja/
