Abstract:In order to reduce the three - phase unbalance factor of rural distribution area and improve the quality of power supply,a STATCOM three - phase unbalanced regulator based on IGBT is developed. The device uses the d - q method to detect the reactive current,which reduces the calculation time and improves the calculation efficiency. The control mode adopts double closed - loop control,that is,the outer loop is voltage control and the inner loop is current control,and the feedback control loop is introduced to feedback the control of compensation current,which improves the accuracy of the control system effectively. The simulation system is established with MATLAB software,and the simulation test of STATCOM shows that STATCOM has a regulating effect on three - phase unbalance. The application results also show that the STATCOM device has a good suppressing effect on three - phase unbalance of distribution network.
