Popis: In order to solve the problem of the power quality caused by distributed power access to the distribution network, this paper proposes a coordinated control strategy of reactive power compensation based on a flexible distribution transformer. First, the working principle of the flexible distribution transformer is analyzed, and the mathematical model of energy acquisition and the regulation converter of the flexible distribution transformer are studied as well. The device-level control strategies of energy acquisition and regulation converters are proposed, respectively. Then, in order to maintain the stability of the bus voltage and quickly respond to the reactive power changes of the system, a coordinated control strategy for the reactive power compensation of flexible distribution transformers is proposed. The priority herein is to maximize the reactive power compensation capacity of the energy harvesting converter. When the energy harvesting converter reaches the compensation upper limit, the control converter is used for reactive power compensation to further suppress the grid voltage fluctuation. Finally, it is verified through simulations that the flexible distribution transformer can realize the reactive power compensation of the distribution network and effectively improve the power quality of the distribution network.
