A Collaborative Governance Strategy for Power Quality in AC/DC Distribution Networks Considering the Coupling Characteristics of Both Sides

Abstract

The interactions between power quality in the AC-DC distribution network segments contribute to the distributed propagation of power quality anomalies throughout the entire network. Focusing on the photovoltaic multifunctional grid-connected inverter (PVMFGCI), this study deeply explores a collaborative governance strategy for optimizing regional power quality. Initially, the analysis dissects the DC ripple generation mechanism corresponding to harmonics and asymmetry in AC subnetwork voltages. Subsequently, a strategy is proposed for partitioning comprehensive control regions for AC-side power quality, taking into account photovoltaic governance resources based on insights from photovoltaic control realms and power quality classifications. Further, a collaborative allocation model for governance resources incorporating active optimization potentials of grid-connected converters is established based on the governance capabilities and residual capacities of PVMFGCI. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through a MATLAB-based example analysis.
