Abstract

Recently, Electric Spring (ES) technology is proposed to solve the power quality issues due to high penetration of distributed renewable energy generation. A variety of topologies and compensation methods have been proposed to solve the power quality issues. This paper proposes a unified converter topology for ES, which combines series and shunt power compensators for simultaneous active and reactive power compensation. The new topology is implemented on a conventional three-phase full-bridge module, which benefits the reduction of cost for the converter. Corresponding operating principles of this converter are developed and verified through practical measurements. © 2016 IEEE.
