Abstract |
In order to stabilize the grid frequency in case of sudden loss of power generation, an injection of real power is needed. For this, a Static Var Compensator (SVC) can be combined with ultracapacitors, forming a grid frequency stabilizer. To prove the feasibility of this novel combination, the paper shows the realization of a 1MW class test rig for full-size modules. Single modules are tested using a second module and connecting them at their AC front-end. The control of the AC/DC and DC/DC converters is described and the performance of the test field is shown in measurement results. |
