Introduction ( contd)
Load compensation Loads are unbalanced P.F is lagging
No compensation of harmonics
Source should supply only active power & see a balanced load
28/454
Most of the loads are Non-linear Harmonics are generated Voltage at P.C.C is non sinusoidal P.F is lagging Circuit to filter the harmonics (on-line) + compensate the loads
29/454
P.C.C

30/454
Current drawn by the load fed from P.E. equipment flows through system impedance. Voltage at P.C.C is non-sinusoidal (We had assumed that 'V' is sinusoidal).

Load compensation
In ideal power system V & F should be constant V should be sinusoidal P.F = 1 The above should be independent of size & characteristics of load No interference between different loads
36/454
Notation of quality of supply

How nearly constant are V & F at the supply point ? How near to unity is the P.F ? In 3-ph system, degree to which V & I are balanced

Basis for selection of control :

Following considerations influences the selection of control characteristics
Prevention of large fluctuations of DC current due to variation in AC system Maintaining DC voltage near rated value Maintaining power factor at the sending & receiving end that are as high as possible Prevention of commutation failure in inverter
373/454
Rectifier control To prevent large fluctuations in DC current
Vdcor Cos Vdcoi Cos Id = Rcr + RL Rci

374/454
Denominator is very small A small change in Vdcor or Vdcoi cause a large change in Id 25% change either in Vdcor or Vdcoi changes id by 100% If & are kept constant, Idc can vary over a wide range for small change in i/p AC voltage at either end
375/454
Not acceptable Rapid converter control prevents fluctuation of Idc For a given power transmitted Vdc profile along the line should be close to rated values It minimizes Id & therefore line loss
376/454
P.F should be as high as possible Minimize losses and current rating of equipment in the AC system Reduce the voltage drop at the AC terminal as load the cost of reactive power supply to line

Simulation study taking line L, R & C in addition Lfilter is required

(b). Maintaining DC voltage near rated value (c). Maintaining power factor at the sending & receiving end that are as high as possible (d). Prevention of commutation failure in inverter
390/454
Rectifier control To prevent large fluctuations in DC current
Vdcor Cos Vdcoi Cos Id = Rcr + RL Rci

391/454
necessary to maintain a certain minimum extinction angle to avoid commutation failure Device should attain forward voltage blocking capability

392/454
Control of HVDC system
393/454
Control characteristics
Ideal characteristics :
Voltage regulation & current regulation
Kept distinct & are assigned to separate terminals
Under normal operation :

Rectifier maintains current control (CC) & Inverter operates constant extinction angle (CEA)
394/454
Quantities forming the co-ordinates are measured at some common point in the DC line Converter terminal can be one such possibility
Vd = Vdcoi Cos + (RL Rci )I d

Has a small ve slope
395/454
Maintains adequate commutation margin Inverter characteristics includes Id.RL drop
396/454
Rectifier characteristics can be shifted horizontally by adjusting reference current or current command or current order If measured current < current command, controller Inverter characteristics can be raised or lowered by means of transformer taps
397/454
As taps are changed, CEA regulator quickly restores desired Id changes Current regulator of rectifier changes and control i Tap changer of rectifier acts to bring in the desired range (10-20o)
398/454
Constant current characteristics could be a line parallel to y-axis If proportional controller slope could be -ve Generally current control is given to both the converters Ref. current for rectifier > Ref. current for inverter
399/454
Iref(conv) Iref(inv) = Imargin = +ve Assume that power flows in the line to be conv takes the value of min Incase Id approaches Iref(conv), then
rectifier is working under constant ignition control Inverter is working under constant extinction control
400/454
After some time, tap changer changes the tap

of the converter to attain its normal operating value (12- 17o)
401/454
Actual characteristics :
Rectifier maintains constant I by changing can not be < min Once min is reached, no further V is possible Rectifier will operate constant ignition angle (CIA)
402/454
Therefore rectifier characteristics has two segments (AB & FA) Constant current characteristics may not be truly vertical Depends on the current regulator With proportional control C.C characteristics has ve slope
403/454
VdcoCos = K [I order I d ]
= Vd + Rcr I d
Iord current order
Vd = KI order (K + Rcr )I d
Vd = (K + Rcr )I d
Vd = (K + Rcr ) I d
(with PI it is vertical)
404/454
At normal voltage , characteristics is defined by FAB At reduced V, it shifts down F1 A1 B1
CEA characteristics of the inverter intersect at E for normal V condition

405/454
At reduced V, it does not intersect F1A1B A big reduction in rectifier V would cause Id & P System could shut down
406/454
In order to avoid the problem, inverter is provided with current control Inverter Iord < rectifier Iord
Iord(R) Iord(I) 0.1 Irated
407/454
Under normal condition Rectifier C. C Inverter CEA When i/p V rectifier V Operating point E1 Changes from one mode to another is known as mode shift
408/454
When inverter is on current control

Vd = RL I d Rci I d + Vdoi Cos Vdoi Cos = Vd RL I d + Rci I d
With proportional controller
K (I ord I d ) = Vd RL I d + Rcr I d
409/454
(Vdoi Cos ) = K (I ref I d ),

= Vd I d (RL Rci )
K >1
Vd = (RL Rci + K )I d
Vd = (RL Rci + K )I d I d
Vdor to id Vdoi to id
410/454
Slope is +ve
When does change over take place ?

Current order is given to both the converters
Iref(C) > Iref(I) Iref(C) > Iref(I) - Imargin +ve (assume) Imargin = 0.1 0.15 Irated
411/454
Assume that i/p AC has dipped due to fault, Idc ,

conv min and with this new value of , Idc is
If Idc < (Iref(C) - Imar), inverter takes over the current control & converter is working under C.I.A, after some time tap changer changes the tap
412/454
Review
Rectifier characteristics
Constant current by control Constant ignition angle control
Can have a ve slope
C.C
Can be parallel to Y-axis

413/454
Contd..
Current control is given to both converters
But Iref(R) > Iref(I) Iref(R) - Iref(I) = Imargin 0.1Irated
Current control loop of inverter is inactive when current Iref(R)
414/454
e is ve, K is +ve Iact should be Iact > (Iref Imar)

should be decreased o/p of PI is zero selector switch selects min
415/454
e is +ve, Iact < (Iref Imar)

, should be , so that Iact , K is +ve, o/p of PI starts increasing Selector switch selects maximum of two inputs
416/454
Due to line fault or during low i/p AC voltage condition Vdco(R) will drop Assume Vdco(R)Cosmin < Vdco(I)Cos
If there is no current control by the inverter , id will and eventually becomes zero
417/454
In order to avoid this situation inverter is also provided with current control Operate at E' till tap changer changes the tap
What happen If Imar is ve ?

Rectifier is trying to control Iref(R) Inverter is trying to control Iref(R)+ Imar
418/454
Inverter side :
Id can be by As , Id, but rectifier controller tries to the current (Iref(R) < Iref(I) ) Since Id is due to increase in , rectifier controller to reduce Id
towards 90o towards 90o
419/454
New operating point could be D' Correct sign to Imar is very important Imar should not be too small because there could be measurement error
420/454
Mode stabilization :
Intersection of min characteristics of converter and inverter CEA may not be well defined There could be multiple crossings Instead change the slope of the inverter characteristics near the crossing
421/454
Alternative inverter control

Instead of regulating (CEA) Maintain a constant DC voltage at a desired point Could be sending end Required inverter voltage to maintain the above voltage is estimated by computing I.R drop
422/454
V profile is flat Constant characteristics has drooping characteristics

18o in voltage control mode
423/454
Constant control :
= +
function of id & Vac
Choose for worst case At low loads additional security against commutation failure As id , minimum may be encountered
424/454
Vdcoi Cos remains constant As id , Vd = VdoiCos + (RL+Rci)Id also

425/454
Use either constant Vdc or constant control
426/454
Current limit
Maximum current limit : Max. short term current = (1.2 -1.3) Irated Minimum current limit : if id below a certain limit due to finite ripple in I, current will become discontinuous
12-pulse converter 12 times in one cycle current become zero (current interruption)
427/454
There could be lightly damped oscillations (smoothing L & line C) Over voltage across the device Simulation study is required Ensure Imin in DC link
428/454
Voltage depend current-order limit (VDCOL)

Under L.V condition it may not be desirable or possible to maintain rated current Commutation failure At one converter end Vac has
VdcoCos
429/454
To maintain the current, voltage at the other end of the line is adjusted Either or Reactive power demand Vac has , Q supplied by C or filter also Above problems can be addressed using voltage dependent current order limit
430/454
VDCOL characteristics could be a function of AC voltage or DC voltage
431/454

437/454
To maintain the current, voltage at the other end of the line is adjusted Either or Reactive power demand Vac has , Q supplied by C or filter also Above problems can be addressed using voltage dependent current order limit
438/454
VDCOL characteristics could be a function of AC voltage or DC voltage
439/454
Rectifier inverter V-I characteristics

Power transfer over the line can be controlled by varying Imar Signals are transmitted through telecommunication lines Communication may fail or DC line fault
Reverse power flow may occur Inverter is provided with min. limit 95- 110o
440/454
441/454
Summary of basic control principle :

HVDC system is basically current control To limit over current To prevent the system from running down due to fluctuations in AC voltage
442/454
Significant aspects of basic control :

Rectifier
Current control limit
In current control mode closed loop regulator controls the firing angle to regulate Id at Iord Tap changer control of the converter brings within 10-20o
443/454
Inverter is functioned with CEA control and a current control In CEA mode, is regulated at around 15o Inverter control could have constant control Under normal operation rectifier is in current control & inverter is on CEA control mode
444/454
If there is a in AC voltage, of rectifier min (CIA mode) If current falls to a certain limit, inverter will assume C.C
Valve blocking & by passing :

If one bridge is to be taken out of service Only blocking will not extinguish the current that was flowing through the thyristor pair
445/454
Inject AC voltage in the link There could be V & I oscillations due to lightly damped circuit Transformer feeding the bridge is also subjected to DC magnetization By pass the bridge when the devices (valves) are blocked
446/454
Achieved using by pass valve and by pass switch
Assume T2 & T3 are conducting & blocking command is given

447/454
Commutation for T2 to T4 is in usual manner But incoming device T5 is prevented by not triggering T5. When T1 get F.B (VAB +ve ) trigger T1 Current by pass pair is shunted by closing S1 & open S
448/454
For energization of blocked bridge Current is first diverted from S1 to bypass pair S1 will generate arc voltage Trigger bypass pair
449/454
Modern techniques
HVDC using line commutated converters Requires AC voltage for commutation Requires reactive power DC link is equivalent to a current source V can reverse but I can not reverse Devices should be able to block ve voltage Not suitable for weak grid
450/454
Instead use VSI
I could be in phase with Vi Inverter devices are self commutated

451/454
No AC voltage is required for commutation
Conversion at UPF is possible DC link is voltage source

452/454
V can not reverse, but I can reverse Devices should be able to carry I in both directions
