A Strategy for Enhanced Post-FRT Active Power Recovery in Expandable Point-to-Point VSC-HVdc Links

This paper proposes a non-linear DC power modulation strategy for expandable point-to-point (PtP) high-voltage DC (HVDC) systems. The goal is to enhance the active power management during post-fault conditions of the interconnected AC networks. The proposed strategy is developed by defining exponent...

description This paper proposes a non-linear DC power modulation strategy for expandable point-to-point (PtP) high-voltage DC (HVDC) systems. The goal is to enhance the active power management during post-fault conditions of the interconnected AC networks. The proposed strategy is developed by defining exponentially decaying functions, which, depending on the HVDC network configuration of the expandable HVDC system, alter the active current reference in a voltage source converter (VSC) affected by an AC network’s disturbance, without utilizing proportional-integral (PI) controllers. Furthermore, it is investigated whether the produced alteration can fulfill the post-fault active power recovery (PFAPR) requirements of VSC-HVDC systems, even in situations when no communication protocols between the VSC units are used. Lastly, it is demonstrated, through simulation experiments, that the expandable HVDC system (working in a point-to-point (PtP) or a multi-terminal (MT) network configuration), shows a better performance (in terms of the PFAPR profile and the DC voltage response) when the proposed strategy is utilized instead of conventional main-supplementary or droop control strategies.
