Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The high penetration level of renewable energy in large-scale power systems could adversely affect power quality, such as voltage stability and harmonic pollution. This paper assesses the impacts of Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM), one of the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, on power quality of 4.16kV-level distribution systems via transient and steady-state analysis. Carrier-based Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control in D-STATCOM generates d-q axis current reference via the PID (Proportional-Integral-Differential) controller to control d-q axis current and voltage. A new control method, via the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm-based reinforcement learning (RL), is studied to create a new d-q axis current reference applying to the voltage control, which can improve voltage stability and transient response and derive fast convergence of current and voltage at the D-STATCOM bus. The real-time simulations on an IEEE 13-bus system show that the proposed approach can better control the D-STATCOM than the conventional control methods for enhancing voltage stability and transient performance.
