Design of a High Frequency Stability Control Algorithm for Flexible DC Systems

Abstract

The suppression scheme of flexible DC high-frequency oscillation needs to be based on model construction. Related literatures have established a high-order linearization model of converter station, gradually revealing the influence of control system and its parameters on impedance characteristics. In order to ensure the full utilization of renewable energy, it is necessary to deeply study the interaction characteristics between multi-terminal VSC-HVDC (Voltage Source Converter based High Voltage Direct Current Transmission) and the receiving power grid, and design a grid-friendly control strategy. In this paper, a VSC-HVDC high-frequency stability control algorithm is established, and a double-ended VSC-HVDC bidirectional VSC stable switching controller is constructed. The switching sequence generated by the controller replaces the control sequence generated by the previous PWM (Pulse width modulation) modulation, so as to weaken the influence of the inner loop current control parameters on the stable operation of the system. The simulation results show that the reactive power fluctuation amplitude of PI control on the inverter side is 0.031 p.u, and the stabilization time is 0.43s. The reactive power fluctuation amplitude of bidirectional VSC stable switching control is less than 0.012 p.u, and the stability time is less than 0.2s. When the single-phase grounding wire is short-circuited, the bidirectional VSC regulator switch has better control performance than the PI regulator switch. Compared with the traditional PI controller, the proposed controller has better stability. The system can quickly enter a stable and non-overshoot operation state, and achieved good control effect.
