An accurate power control strategy for electromagnetic rotary power controllers

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.
