Abstract

Controlled pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage source converters (VSC’s) are increasingly used in power systems for active filtering of line current harmonics and reactive power compensation. In this paper the parameter design of a state variable controller to determine the instantaneous switching pattern of the converter switches for optimal dynamic system performance is discussed. To this end the mathematical model of a system encompassing a three phase system grid and a VSC converter controlled by a state variable controller is developed. The space vector approach is used. Simulation results confirm the theoretical expectations.

High-voltage direct current

A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system (also called a power superhighway or an electrical superhighway) uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems. Most HVDC links use voltages between 100 kV and 800 kV. However, a 1,100 kV link in China was completed in 2019 over a distance of with a power capacity of 12 GW. With this dimension, intercontinental connections become possible which could help to deal with the fluctuations of wind power and photovoltaics.

Variable-frequency drive

A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drives, adjustable-speed drives), variable-speed drives, AC drives, micro drives, inverter drives, or drives) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity. Depending on its topology, it controls the associated voltage or current variation. VFDs are used in applications ranging from small appliances to large compressors.

Buck converter

A buck converter or step-down converter is a DC-to-DC converter which steps down voltage (while stepping up current) from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class of switched-mode power supply. Switching converters (such as buck converters) provide much greater power efficiency as DC-to-DC converters than linear regulators, which are simpler circuits that lower voltages by dissipating power as heat, but do not step up output current.
