Title:PV System Supported Modular Multilevel Converter Design for Load Balancing and Reactive Power Compensation.
Abstract
The aim of this project is to perform harmonic elimination, load balancing, negative sequence reactive power compensation in 3-phase systems with the help of modular multi-level converters (MMC) having DC bus supplied from the PV panels while minimizing sub-module voltage oscillations and circulating currents.
Within the scope of this project, mathematical modeling, analysis and applied design of reactive power compensation based on reactive power compensation, equalization of the active power drawn from the grid (due to unbalanced loads connected to the phases) and negative sequential harmonic currents were studied. The PV system, which is one of the renewable energy sources, was used with the conveter having the proporties descibed in the scope of this project. The obtained mathematical model was solved with the help of the MATLAB simulation program, and the MATLAB simulation results based on the model of the system have been compared with the experimental results obtained from the prototype of three-phase MMC built in the Power Quality Research Laboratory.
