본 논문에서는 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터 (Modular Multilevel Converter ; MMC) HVDC의 각 모듈 평균 스위칭 절환 회수를 고려한 커패시터 전압 평형 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 MMC HVDC 시스템에서 각 모듈을 선택적으로 운전하는 것은 모듈간 커패시터 전압 평형 유지가 가능하나, 모듈간 스위칭 절환 수의 불평형이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 모듈이 스위칭 절환 수의 평형을 유지하면서 직류 전압 평형을 유지하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션으로 유효성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 현재 전류원 HVDC로 연계되어있는 제주-해남 전력계통을 전압원 HVDC로 대체하였을 경우 동특성을 분석한 내용에 대해 기술하고 있다. 동적특성분석을 위해 EMTDC를 이용한 시뮬레이션모델을 개발하고 전압원 HVDC가 일정조류제어와 주파수제어를 수행할 때 유무효전력의 제어특성을 분석하였다. 전압원 HVDC 시스템은 전류원 HVDC와는 달리 컨버터 자체로 유무효전력을 독립적으로 제어할 수 있어 동기조상기와 캐패시터뱅크 같은 무효전력보상설비를 필요로 하지 않는다. 본 연구결과는 향후 전압원 HVDC 시스템의 설치를 검토할 때 활용 가능할 것으로 보인다.

A Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC) has less difficulty of commutation failure in comparison to the conventional line commutated converter. This paper proposes the Ar1R control of the CCC in the inverter operation, which deserves as the Ar1R of the conventional converter. The CCC can be operated in high power factor area by using the proposing Ar1R control. The voltage stability at an AC bus connected the CCC inverter is investigated and estimated its ability of preventing the AC voltage collapse. To estimate the voltage stability, this paper developed the simplified converter mathematical model and led the VSF index. The results shows that the AC voltage stability is guaranteed and enables the interconnection to an weak AC system, when compensation factor of the compensation capacitor is higher than 200%.

A modular multilevel converter is widely adapted for a high-voltage direct current power transmission system. This study proposes a design methodology for a novel digital control that mitigates the negative effects caused by time delay, including communication transport delay for a modular multilevel converter. The modeling and negative effect of time delay are analyzed theoretically in a frequency domain, and its compensation methodology based on an inverse model is described fully with practical considerations. The proposed methodology is verified through several simulation results using a modular 21-level converter system.

본 논문은 CIGRE 492 보고서를 따른 것으로 최근 해외 선도 기업 및 미국, 유럽, 중국 등에서 도입하고 있는 LCC-HVDC, VSC-HVDC와 기존 송전시스템인 HVAC의 기술 및 경제적 효율성을 비교분석하였다. 분석 방법은 동일한 조건을 설정하여 각 시스템에 모의 적용하였으며, (1) HVAC와 VSC-HVDC와의 비교 (2) LCC-HVDC와 VSC-HVDC와의 비교를 진행하였다. 그 결과 시간 흐름에 따라 AC보다 DC에서의 경제적 효율성을 확인하였고, 또한 HVDC의 전류형과 전압형의 비용 분석에서는 오차범위, 추가적 편익 등을 고려할 시 전압형의 경제성에 대한 긍정적 측면을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 PWM 방식을 택하였으나, 추후 연구에서는 최근 선도 기술이라 평가받는 MMC 방식의 전압형 HVDC를 적용하여 연구하고자 한다.

This paper presents the three-port DC-DC converter modeling and controller design procedure, which is part of the solid-state transformer (SST) to interface medium voltage AC grid to bipolar DC distribution network. Due to the high primary side DC link voltage, the proposed converter employs the three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) topology at the primary side and 2-two level half bridge circuits for each DC distribution network. For the proposed converter particular structure, this paper conducts modeling the three winding transformer and the power transfer between each port. A decoupling method is adopted to simplify the power transfer model. The voltage controller design procedure is presented. In addition, the output current sharing controller is employed for current balancing between the parallel-connected secondary output ports. The proposed circuit and controller performance are verified by experimental results using a 30 kW prototype SST system.

This paper proposes a control method for high voltage direct current(HVDC) with modular multilevel converter (MMC) under unbalanced voltage conditions considering the submodule(SM)'s current capacity and circulating current. It is aimed to propose a control method in which the current peak value does not exceed the maximum value of HVDC-MMC by considering the current capacity of the SM under unbalance voltage conditions. And it analyzes the effect of the unbalanced voltage on circulating currents in MMC and then proposes a control method considering each component of circulating currents under unbalanced voltages. The effectiveness of the proposed controlling method is verified through simulation results using PSCAD/EMTDC.

This study proposes a new test circuit and control method for the submodules of modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HVDC systems. The test current of conventional submodule test circuits cannot provide the DC offset components or may have some distortion in the linearized current with the DC offset. The proposed scheme can provide not only the DC component but also linearized current without distortion. Therefore, the submodule test current waveform is relatively similar to that of a real submodule consisting of an MMC-based HVDC system. The validity of the proposed circuit and control method is verified through a simulation and experiment.

Power system stabilizer act efficiently to damp the electromechanical oscillations in interconnected power systems. This paper presents an algorithm for the optimal parameter selection of a power system stabilizer in two-area power systems with a series HVDC link. This method is one of the classical techniques by allocating properly pole-zero positions to fit as closely as desired the ideal phase lead between the voltage reference and the generator electrical power and by changing the gain to produce a necessary damping torque over the matched frequency range. Control of HVDC converter and inverter are used a constant current loop. Proper parameters of PI controllers are obtain based on the Root-locus technique in other to have sufficient speed and stability margin to cope with charging reference values and disturbance. The small signal stability arid transient stability studies using the PSS parameters obtained from this method show that a natural oscillation frequency of the studycase system is adequately damped. Also the simulation results using the HVDC converter and inverter parameters obtained from this proposed method show proper current control characteristics. The simulation used in the paper was performed by the Power System Toolbox software program based on MATLAB.

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.
