description Energy-feed power electronic loads can precisely control the phase and magnitude of the power supply output current, achieving the emulation of loads. Moreover, they can feed energy back to the grid for energy regeneration, demonstrating significant research value. This article proposes an energy-fed power electronic load topology and control method that can realize the static and dynamic simulation of linear and non-linear loads and take into account the simulation needs of single-phase, three-phase three-wire, and three-phase four-wire loads. The main circuit uses a two-stage back-to-back AC/DC/AC structure: the front side is a three-phase four-wire split capacitor PWM rectifier bridge, which is used to simulate loads under various operating conditions; the back side is a three-phase three-wire PWM inverter bridge, which realizes the energy feeding back to the grid and reduces the waste of energy; and the intermediate side uses a split capacitor to equalize the voltage and achieve voltage stabilization. The topology is analyzed under the simulation demands of three-phase balanced, three-phase unbalanced, single-phase and non-linear loads. Finally, a MATLAB(R2022a)/Simulink simulation platform is built for a power electronic load with a rated capacity of 200 kVA. The simulation results verify the effectiveness, feasibility, and advancement of the power electronic load proposed in this article.
