Bipolar Direct AC/AC Conversion-based Dual-bus Parallel Supply System and Its Flexible Regulation Characteristics

In the context of increasing demand for flexibility and controllability in distribution networks, this paper proposes a dual-bus parallel supply (DBPS) system based on bipolar direct AC/AC conversion. First, the topology of the DBPS system, which is composed of both conventional and flexible bus ports, is described. Then, through analyzing the principles of the DBPS system, the voltage flexible regulation range is obtained, and its superiority over a topological reciprocity system is achieved. Then, a control strategy for the DBPS system is proposed based on the theory of power flow regulation of distribution ring networks and the principles of flexible bus regulation of the DBPS system. Finally, simulation analyses on flexible control scenarios in different networking modes of the DBPS system verify the correctness and validity of the proposed theory.
