Digital infrastructure development for semiconductor devices controlling for electric power complex

This paper is devoted to studying effects of digital control systems implementation in the electric power industry infrastructure for synchronized operation of power electronics devices. The problems of designing this type of digital infrastructure to realize synchronous control of power electronics semiconductor devices within a single power system are described. The main kinds of power electronics devices that can function in one electric power complex are studied. The operation principle of main kinds of semiconductor power devices, their technical parameters, and an effect on an electrical network are investigated. The concept of a digital control system for energy infrastructure operation is proposed. Structure, functions, and operation algorithms of such kind of digital control system are considered. A computer model of an electric power system consisting of several power electronics devices is realized in MATLAB Simulink. In addition, a digital infrastructure prototype (console software) to control this model is created.
