The characteristics of CSC are analyzed and two kinds of PWM strategies used (the optimum PWM and the current vector PWM) are described. CSC-based SMES units can be applied for improving the stability of power systems. As a result of research, the equations of the non-linear robust control law of power systems with the SMES were obtained and corresponding controller was developed. The simulation and experimental results show that the SMES unit with the non-linear robust controller can significantly improve the transient stability of power systems. SMES units can also be used to improve the customer power quality. A line-interactive SMES DVR with CSC was developed. A complete circuit model of the system including the stray inductances and the snubber circuits of the switching devices was built, and simulations and experiments were performed to investigate voltage surges of the devices. A quasi-steady-state algorithm for compensating voltage sags was developed, and the SMES unit under control of the algorithm works well under both normal and voltage sag compensation conditions. 关键词﹕电流型变流器;超导储能;电力系统暂态稳定性;动态电压补偿;缓冲吸收电路 Keywords: CSC, SMES, transient stability of power systems, DVR, snubber circuits
