| Abstract |
The paper is concerned with the active
compensation of the flicker phenomenon in the medium-voltage
lines using multilevel converters. Two configurations of
compensator are designed, built up on the Diode Clamped
Multilevel Converter (DCMLC) and the Cascade H-bridge
Multilevel Converter (CMLC). By analytical procedure, the
current ratings of the semiconductor devices are established, and
the size of the passive elements of the compensators is found. The
main outcome of the study is that the two configurations
substantially require the same overall rating for the
semiconductor devices, with the exception of the clamping diodes
in the DCMLC-based configuration. As a counterpart, the latter
configuration needs a lower overall capacitance. |
