Recently the researches on Modular Multi-level Converter (MMC) are being highlighted because high quality and efficient power transmission are key issues in the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system. This paper proposes an improved pre-charging method for the sub-module capacitors in MMC that operates in Nearest Level Control (NLC) modulation. The proposed method does not require additional circuits or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques. The feasibility of proposed method was verified through computer simulations for a scaled 3-phase 10kVA MMC with 12 sub-modules per each arm. Hardware experiments with a scaled prototype were performed in the lab to confirm the simulation results.

This paper presents the characteristics of leakage currents flowing through ZinC Oxide(ZnO) surge arrester blocks under mixed direct and 60 Hz alternating voltages. A mixed voltage, in which an alternating voltage is superimposed upon a direct voltage, appears on the HVDC system network. The mixed direct and alternating voltage generator with a peak open-circuit of 10 kV was designed and fabricated. The leakage currents and V-I curves for the fine and used ZnO surge arrester blocks were measured as a function of the voltage ratio k, where the voltage ratio k is defined as the ratio of the peak of alternating voltage to the peak of the mixed voltages. The resistive component in the leakage current in the low conduction region is significantly increased with increasing the voltage ratio k. The V-I characteristic curves for the mixed voltages lies between the direct and alternating characteristics, and the cross-over phenomenon in the high conduction region was appeared.

세계적으로 대용량 장거리 송전에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) 시스템에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 대규모 전력전송이 가능한 전류형 HVDC 시스템은 무효전력 및 고조파를 발생시킨다. 따라서 이를 보상하기 위해 여러 종류의 AC필터가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 HVDC 시스템에서 주로 사용되는 double-tuned 필터의 두 가지 설계방식을 검토한다. 또한 저항을 투입하여 공진을 줄이는 damped double-tuned 필터의 임피던스 특성을 살펴본다.

In this paper, we study an approach to design a Fuzzy PI controller in HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) system. In the rectifier of traditional HVDC system, turning on, turning off, triggering and protections of thyristors have lots of problems that can make the dynamic instability and cannot damp the dynamic disturbance efficiently. In order to solve the above problems, we adapt Fuzzy PI controller for the fire angle control of rectifier. The performance of the Fuzzy PI controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing(Genetic Algorithms, GAs). Then we can obtain factors of the Fuzzy PI controller by Genetic Algorithms. A comparative study has been performed between Fuzzy PI controller and traditional PI controller, to prove the superiority of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we study an approach to design a self-tuning Fuzzy-PI controller in HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) system. In the rectifier of conversional HVDC system, turning on, turning off, triggering and protections of thyristors have lots of problems that can make the dynamic instability and cannot damp the dynamic disturbance efficiently. The above problems are solved by adapting Fuzzy-PI controller for the fire angle control of rectifier.[7] The performance of the Fuzzy-PI controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing(Genetic Algorithms, GAs). Then we can obtain the optimal scaling factors of the Fuzzy-PI controller by Genetic Algorithms. In order to improve Fuzzy-PI controller, we adopt FIS to tune the scaling factors of the Fuzzy-PI controller on line. A comparative study has been performed between Fuzzy-PI and self-tuning Fuzzy-PI controller, to prove the superiority of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents the operation strategy of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power COporation) ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW Bipole HVDC system that will be applied between Guemak C/S(converter station) and Hanlim C/S in Jeju island. Unlike intertie HVDC system, this system is located in AC power grid inside. Therefore, the enhancement of system security related with line flow and bus voltages can be major operation strategy. In this paper, in particular, the optimal operation algorithm in the abnormal(not steady state) power system is presented and simulated.

디지털 프로세서의 성능이 크게 향상됨에 따라 HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) 시스템의 제어에 고급 지능형 제어 기술의 적용이 연구되고 있다. 이러한 연구의 일환으로, 본 논문에서는 MATLAB을 이용한 HVDC 시스템 시뮬레이터의 개발 결과를 소개한다. 시뮬레이터는 MATLAB의 프로그램 언어와 행렬 연산 기능을 이용하였으며, 회로의 수식화는 전압원 및 스위칭 소자, 변압기를 포함할 수 있는 수정된 마디 해석법(modified nodal analysis)을 사용하였고, 적분법은 Backward Euler 적분법을 사용하여 수치적 진동(numerical oscillation) 문제가 발생하지 않도록 하였다. 개발 결과, 본 시뮬레이터가 향후의 HVDC 시스템 지능형 제어 기술 연구에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 모듈러 멀티레벨 컨버터(Modular Multilevel Converter, MMC) 고압직류송전(High Voltage Direct Current, HVDC)의 전도 손실 계산을 위한 반도체 스위치 V-I 특성 곡선 근사 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 V-I 특성 곡선은 정격 전류 구간에 대해서만 선형화하여 사용하지만, MMC HVDC의 경우 암 전류의 직류 오프셋에 의해 V-I 특성 곡선의 비선형 구간에서 손실 계산에 오차가 크게 나타난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 암 전류의 부호에 따라 별도의 V-I 특성 곡선 근사를 적용하여 MMC HVDC의 전도 손실 계산의 정확성을 향상하는 방안을 제안한다. 전도 손실 계산 결과는 PSCAD 시뮬레이션으로 취득한 손실 값과 비교하여 결과를 검증하였다.

The problem of fault current to exceed the rated capacity of a power circuit breaker can cause a serious accident to hurt the reliability of the power system. In order to solve this issue, current limiting reactors and circuit breakers with increased capacity are utilized but these solutions have some technical limitations. Back-to-back high voltage direct current(BTB HVDC) may be applied for reducing the fault current. When BTB HVDCs are installed for reduction in fault current, selecting the optimal location of the BTB HVDC without causing overload of line power becomes a key point. In this paper, we use genetic algorithm to find optimal location effectively in a short time. We propose a new methodology for determining the BTB HVDC optimal location to reduce fault current without causing overload of line power in metropolitan areas. Also, the procedure of performing the calculation of fault current and line power flow by PSS/E is carried out automatically using Python. It is shown that this optimization methodology can be applied effectively for determining the BTB HVDC optimal location to reduce fault current without causing overload of line power by a case study.
