    Control Characteristics

    Uploaded by

    Ayesha Firdaus
    This document discusses converter control characteristics in HVDC transmission systems. It describes: 1) Three modes of operation depending on the rectifier ceiling voltage: constant current control at the rectifier and minimum extinction angle at the inverter; minimum extinction angles at both; and constant current control at the inverter with minimum extinction angle at the rectifier. 2) How a negative current margin can cause power reversal, with the rectifier operating as an inverter with minimum extinction angle control and the inverter operating at constant current control. 3) How a voltage dependent current limit modifies the control characteristics to stabilize operation and reduce current in the DC link during faults causing low AC voltage on the rectifier or inverter

    3.2 Converter control characteristics


    Basic Characteristics:
    The intersection of the two characteristics (point A) determines the mode of
    operation-Station I operating as rectifier with constant current control and station II
    operating at constant (minimum) extinction angle.
    There can be three modes of operation of the link (for the same direction of power
    flow) depending on the ceiling voltage of the rectifier which determines the point of
    intersection of the two characteristics which are defined below
    1) CC at rectifier and CEA at inverter (operating point A) which is the normal mode
    of operation.
    2) With slight dip in the AC voltage, the point of intersection drifts to C which implies
    minimum α at rectifier and minimum γ at the inverter.
    3) With lower AC voltage at the rectifier, the mode of operation shifts to point B
    which implies CC at the inverter with minimum α at the rectifier.

    The characteristic AB has generally more negative slope than characteristic FE


    because the slope of AB is due to the combined resistance of (R d + Rcr ) while is the slope
    of FE is due to Rci .

    Figure 3.2.2 Converter control characteristics for negative current margin


    [Source: “HVDC Power Transmission Systems” by K.P.Padiyar, page-87]

    The above figure shows the control characteristics for negative current margin I m
    (or where the current reference of station II is larger than that of station I). The operating
    point shifts now to D which implies power reversal with station I (now acting as inverter)
    operating with minimum CEA control while station II operating with CC control.
    This shows the importance of maintaining the correct sign of the current margin to
    avoid inadvertent power reversal. The maintenance of proper current margin requires
    adequate telecommunication channel for rapid transmission of the current or power order.
    Voltage Dependent Current Limit:
    The low voltage in the DC link is mainly due to the faults in the AC system on the
    rectifier or inverter side. The low AC voltage due to faults on the inverter side can result
    in persistent commutation failure because of the increase of the overlap angle. In such
    cases, it is necessary to reduce the DC current in the link until the conditions that led to
    the reduced DC voltage are relieved. Also the reduction of current relieves those valves
    in the inverter which are overstressed due to continuous current flow in them.

    If the low voltage is due to faults on the rectifier side AC system, the inverter has
    to operate at very low power factor causing excessive consumption of reactive power
    which is also undesirable. Thus, it becomes useful to modify the control characteristics
    to include voltage dependent current limits. The figure above shown shows current error
    characteristics to stabilize the mode when operating with DC current between I d1 and Id2.
    The characteristic cc| and c|c|| show the limitation of current due to the reduction in
    voltage.
