Abstract :
This paper focuses on developing methodology of characterizing the control interface for PEBB (power electronics building block) based power converters in power system applications. Using a multilevel hierarchical controller function partitioning, different applications (STATCOM, DVR, SSTS) are shown to share common control architecture and interface characteristics with different PEBB modules and control functions. Detailed analysis of the control signals involved allows quantifying the capacity requirements of the control interfaces, and helps construction of power converter applications using the PEBB concept.
