Abstract:As a partial-capacity compensation device, the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) can effectively utilize the residual voltage of the power grid, making it one of the most economical choices for voltage sag mitigation currently. At present, the distribution network has differentiated demand for DVR capacity. A high compensation capacity is required at the beginning of the line, while a lower one is needed at the end. The multi-machine parallel method can effectively address the challenge of a single DVR failing to meet diverse capacity requirements. During voltage sag compensation, rapid changes in voltage amplitude make it difficult for traditional distributed parallel methods to maintain current sharing during the DVR's compensation period. This paper proposes a modular DVR parallel system and control method without energy storage. First, the leading module quickly detects voltage sags and issues state-switching commands to the following modules. The modules can perform forced shutdown of bypass thyristors in a quasi-synchronous manner. Second, a voltage regulator is deployed in the leading module to generate a current reference, which is communicated via Ethernet to subsequent modules, enabling effective compensation for voltage sags in the modular DVR parallel system. Furthermore, this paper establishes an equivalent circuit model of a multi-machine DVR in the discrete domain. The relationship between communication delay and the control cycle is analyzed within the Ethernet communication architecture, and the distribution of the system stability region is studied for different numbers of parallel modules, communication delays, and controller parameters. Finally, the proposed system and control method are verified under multiple operating conditions and parameter settings using the RT-Lab hardware- in-the-loop simulation platform. The following conclusions are drawn. (1) The split topology structure with a three-phase diode rectifier bridge realizes a stable power supply to the DVR modules under the condition of no isolation transformer, maximizing the utilization of the grid's residual voltage during sag periods. (2) During the voltage sag compensation period, the leading module generates the current reference signal and communicates it to the following modules via Ethernet, achieving efficient current-sharing control among parallel DVR modules during the compensation window. (3) Stability analysis and simulation indicate that smaller current inner loop parameters and control cycles can enhance the system's stability margin, ensuring safe and reliable operation of the system with a greater number of parallel modules. At the same time, a fast response speed can be maintained for voltage regulation during the sag compensation process.
