摘要

Applications of Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) in electric power systems will increase more and more with power electronics technology developments such as a circuit topology and a switching device. For the topology development, Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) have been introduced to high voltage and large capacity VSCs (greater than several tens MVA) applied to HVDC and FACTS systems. Both losses and harmonics are reduced compared with conventional 2 level or 3 level converters. For the power device development, Silicon Carbide (SiC) switching devices are expected to achieve remarkable loss reduction though they are not yet used commercially in the power systems.This paper presents investigation results regarding circuit topologies suitable for a 100 kVA class D-STATCOM, and verification test results of a prototype D-STATCOM rated at 33.5kVA using SiC switching devices. As a switching device, 1.2kV-30A Junction-Field Effect Transistor (J-FET) of normally off type is used, and for a free-wheeling diode, 1.2kV-7.5A SiC Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) is applied. It is confirmed the efficiency of converter parts is 99.6% for the operation with equivalent switching frequency of 20 kHz.It is estimated 3.3 kV SiC switching devices will be available in the near future, and 100 kVA, 6.6 kV D-STATCOM can be manufactured with the same system configuration as the prototype D-STATCOM. It would be mounted on the distribution pole due to light weight, small volume and no audible noise along with smaller losses. Dispersed deployment of such D-STATCOMs enables the appropriate voltage control of the distribution system when the large penetration of distributed generations such as a photovoltaic generation or a wind power proceeds in the future power system.
