Abstract
With the rapid development of active distribution networks, the
“petal”-type distribution network has become the mainstream power
supply structure. To ensure the safe and reliable power supply of a
distribution system, power control methods for active distribution
networks should be further studied. An electromagnetic rotary power flow
controller (RPFC) is a feasible solution for active distribution network
power control. However, when testing the effectiveness of the PQ
decoupled control method for RPFC based on instantaneous reactive power
theory, difficulties were encountered with the synchronous control of
the rotor position angle of two rotating-phase transformers, and the
accuracy of power control was unsatisfactory. Given this condition, PQ
control is improved in three ways. First, the system periodic
oscillation problem is solved via variable speed control. Second, the
servo motor–rotary phase-shifting transformer synchronous rotation
scheme is designed, reducing power control error and improving
stability. The overshoot phenomenon in power control is improved using
the variable domain fuzzy proportional–integral adaptive method.
Experimental results show that the proposed advanced control scheme
exhibits good dynamic and static performance in power control scenarios
and achieves effective improvement of RPFC.
