Coordinated Voltage Fluctuation Suppression Strategy for Multiple Power Electronic Transformers in Hybrid AC/DC Distribution Network Based on Dynamic Control Mode Switch
Abstract：
This presentation introduces a strategy to suppress voltage fluctuations in hybrid AC/DC distribution networks with multiple power electronic transformers (PETs). As more wind power and photovoltaic energy are integrated into the grid, voltage instability becomes a growing challenge. To address this, a coordinated control method is developed to adapt PET operating modes based on renewable forecasts. Simulation results show that the proposed approach effectively stabilizes voltages and supports the reliable integration of renewable energy.
Bio：
Yulan Zhu is a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, China, under the supervision of Prof. Zhengyou He. She is currently a visiting research student at the University of Birmingham, supervised by Prof. Xiao-ping Zhang. She received her Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Automation from Southwest Jiaotong University in 2019, continued with a master’s program at the same university, and transferred to the Ph.D. program in 2021. Her research focuses on the flexible control of power electronic transformers (PETs) and coordinated control strategies for multiple PETs in hybrid AC/DC distribution networks. Her work aims to improve voltage stability and facilitate the integration of renewable energy through advanced PET control and system-level coordination.
