System and method for reactive power regulation

摘要

A system 100 and method are provided for performing reactive power control. The system includes a power converter 20 and a controller 40 coupled to the power converter. The power converter is configured to convert a first form of electric power generated from the power source to a second form of electric power suitable to be distributed by the electrical grid. The controller 40 is configured to monitor the electric power transmitted between the power converter 20 and the electrical grid. The controller 40 is further configured to decouple a positive sequence component and a negative sequence component from the monitored electric power. The controller 40 is further configured to perform a positive reactive power control and a negative reactive power control with respect to the decoupled positive and negative sequence components. The controller 40 is further configured to transmit a control signal to the power converter 20 based on the positive and negative reactive power control.
