Parameters optimization design for LCL-type STATCOMs under complex power grid

LCL filter parameters and control parameters are interdependent and inter-restricted. They can all affect the stability of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) under the effects of a complex power grid such as harmonic grid voltage and grid impedance variation. An advanced parameters optimization method integrated with LCL filter and control strategy is proposed. At first, the ABC-Pareto algorithm (Pareto multi-objective optimization of an artificial bee colony algorithm) is used to reasonably choose the LCL filter parameters. Under the premise of using capacitor current feedback active damping control and grid voltage feedforward control, the mathematical models of the STATCOM are derived. The constraints of control performances on the control parameters are obtained. According to these constraints, it is possible to construct a satisfactory 3D space. The control parameters can be chosen reasonably by finding the optimized space when the power grid is changed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
