Abstract
This chapter presents decentralized control strategies for series-connected inverters, series-connected H-bridge rectifiers, and series-connected H-bridge inverter-based static compensators (STATCOM) in medium/high voltage (MV/HV) power network without any communication, and each module makes decisions based on its own local information. In contrast, the conventional methods are usually centralized control and depend on a real-time communication. Thus, the proposed scheme has advantages of improved reliability and decreased costs. The overall system stability is analyzed, and the stability condition is derived as well. The feasibility of the method is verified by simulations and experimental results.
