Current Balancing Control Approach for Paralleled MMC Groups in Hybrid LCC/VSC Cascaded HVDC System
摘要
Abstract
A high voltage direct current (HVDC) system with conventional line commutated converter (LCC) and multiple paralleled modular multilevel converters (MMCs) in hybrid cascaded connection at the inverter side
known as a hybrid LCC/VSC cascaded HVDC (HC-HVDC) system
effectively integrates the advantages of LCC
as well as MMC technologies. However
due to the master-slave control mode adopted in the project of paralleled MMC stations
current imbalance issues would inevitably occur among paralleled MMCs in the case of power change
DC voltage drop and short-circuit fault conditions
which could result in overcurrent in MMCs or even slow down the fault recovery process. To realize current of MMC group distributed evenly
a power-based compensation control is proposed in this paper. First
imbalanced current between power-controlled and voltage-controlled MMCs is deduced
then the imbalanced current is transformed into active power
and finally
obtained active power is compensated to the active power outer loop control. By compensating the active power reference value
the proposed control approach can achieve current balancing of paralleled MMCs under different conditions. The HC-HVDC system
based on the Baihetan-Jiangsu project
which is currently under construction
is developed in PSCAD/EMTDC to validate effectiveness of the proposed control approach. Results show that
power-based compensation control can effectively balance currents of paralleled MMCs
