To satisfy the high voltage direct current (HVDC) grid connection demand for wind power generation system, a novel topology and control strategy of HVDC grid connection for open-winding permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind power generation system is proposed, in which two generator-side converter and two isolated DC/DC converters are used to transmit the wind energy captured by open winding PMSG to HVDC grid. By deducing the mathematic model of open winding PMSG, the vector control technique, position sensorless operation, and space vector modulation strategy is applied to implement the stable generation operation of PMSG. Finally, the simulation model based on MATLAB is built to validate the availability of the proposed control strategy.

This paper deals with the commutation failures of HVCD system. Commutation failures are caused by AC voltage distrotions at inverter side and cause the HVDC system oscillations. In this paper, in order to know a correct incidence and onset of the failures, theoretical analysis, the simulation and the investigation at actual system are carried out and the dynamic performace simulations are performed by PSCAD/EMTDC. Finally, the condition that the failure could be generated and how to reduce the failures are analyzed.

This paper describes the design of torsional oscillation controller in HVDC system using the universal SSR eigenvalue program. The suggested design procedures consist of three steps. Fist step is to identify the characteristics of AC system with torsional modes and HVDC system; then, to determine the control parameters of the suggested torsional oscillation controller (SSRStab) to compensate the phasor lagging due to rectifier controller. Finally, using time-domain simulation program verifies the designed parameters and determine the appropriate gain. The suggested method is simple to tune the parameters and effective to damp the least stable torsional oscillation mode.

This paper deals with the frequency sensing methods at HVDC system. The objects of frequency information in HVDC system areto fire a valve and to control a frequency of AC network. Conventionally, there are two methods to measure a frequency of AC network. The first method is to draw out from the synchronous machine and the second method is from AC network. Two methods have advantages and disadvantage each other. For the extreme case of a receiving system of zero inertia (no generation), synchronous machine is essential. In this situation, the frequency information received from the synchronous machine shaft. However, the speed of synchronous machine is oscillated when a disturbance in AC network occurs, and HVDC may be oscillated due to an oscillation speed. To solve this drawback, in this paper, new frequency sensing method is proposed. A proposed method that is use a modified curve-fitting algorithm, has a robust characteristics against a harmonics and unbalanced faults. Consequently, A proposed method is verified by PSCAD/EMTDC Program and experimental test.

This paper presents modeling and control for the emerging IGBT converter-based high-voltage direct-current system (IGBT-HVDC). This paper adds to the representation of the IGBT-HVDC system in the dq-synchronous reference frame and its decoupled control scheme. Additionally, since the IGBT-HVDC is able to actively support the grid due to its capacity to control independently active and reactive power production, a reactive power control scheme is presented in order to regulate/contribute to the voltage at a remote location by taking into account its operational state and limits. The ability of the control scheme is assessed and discussed by means of simulations using ahybrid power system, which consists of a permanent magnetic synchronous-generator (PMSG) based wind turbine, an IGBT-HVDC, and a local load.

This study deals with the modulation index (MI) of a voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC system based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC). In the two-level converter, the purpose of the MI is to maximize the achievable AC voltage of the converter from a fixed DC voltage. Unlike that in a two-level converter, the MI in the MMC topology plays a role in making the converter a voltage source using a capacitor. The circulating current in the MMC distorts the AC voltage reference, and the distortion affects the MI. In addition, the AC network conditions, such as AC voltage variation and reactive power, affect the MI. Therefore, the MI should be optimized with consideration of internal and external factors. This study proposes a method to optimize the MI of an MMC HVDC system.

전력 시스템의 변화 및 전력 전자 소자의 발전으로 인하여 HVDC 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 또한 기존의 Point-to-Point 형태의 HVDC 시스템에서 진보하여, 멀티 터미널 형태 그리고 풍력단지와 연계된 다양한 Topology가 계획 중이거나 실제도 구동되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 추세에 맞추어 풍력단지와 연계된 멀티터미널 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 시스템은 세 곳의 AC 계통 시스템과 한 곳의 풍력단지로 이루어져 있으며, 이는 전압형 컨버터를 통하여 DC 계통을 구성하였다. 풍력발전의 변동 및 Master 컨버터의 탈락 시험 또한 진행하였다.

This paper deals with the dynamic voltage control problem at the inverter end of a HVDC link when connected to a weak AC system which has the potential for harmonic instability and commutation failures. The dynamic voltage control problem is tackled with a STATCOM (Static Compensator), which not only provides a rapid recovery from harmonic instability and commutation failures but also offers a lower cost filter design for HVDC systems. PSCAD/EMTDC simulations are presented to validate the proposed topology and to demonstrate its robust performance.

본 논문은 HVDC시스템의 안정도와 제어 게인과의 상관관계를 다루고 있다. HVDC와 같은 시스템은 비선형적인 요소를 많이 가지고 있기 때문에 수학적인 알고리즘으로 안정도를 판별하고, 제어게인을 구하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 축약된 모델링을 이용하여 제어 게인을 구하였고, 안정도를 분석하였다.
