    1. INTRODUCTION

      For reduction of cost and improved reliability, most of the worlds electric power systems continue to be interconnected. Interconnections take advantage of diversity of loads, availability of sources and fuel price for supplying power to loads at minimum cost and pollution with a required reliability. In a deregulated electric service environment, an effective electric grid is essential to the competitive environment of reliable electrical service[1]. Increased demands on transmission, absence of long-term planning, and the need to provide open access to generating companies and customers have resulted in less security and reduced quality of supply[2]. Compensation in power systems is, therefore, essential to alleviate some of these problems. Series/shunt compensation has been in use for past many years to achieve this objective. Load compensation is the management of reactive power to improve the quality of supply especially the voltage and p.f levels. Here the reactive power is adjusted with respect to an individual load and the compensating device is connected to the load itself.

      Interconnection between AC and DC networks has become the attractive solution by using Voltage-source converters (VSCs) . It has been widely used in many applications, such as integration of renewable energy generation [4], high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission [5] and back-to-back systems, integration of energy storage systems [6], and railway traction systems [7]. The VSC-HVDC technology has been proposed as a promising solution for a back-to-back project in China to interconnect a weak AC power system to a strong AC system [8]-[11].

      LC or LCL output filters are usually adopted to mitigate the converter switching ripples. However, if the converters are not properly controlled, inherent resonances of the filters can introduce serious power quality and stability problems [7]. Power-angle control has been studied for HVDC, static-synchronous- compensator (STATCOM), and wind-turbine applications. But the disadvantage of power-angle control is that the control bandwidth is limited by a resonant peak at the grid frequency and the control system does not have the

      capability to limit the current flowing into the converter.[8] The pulse-width modulation (PWM) based voltage-source converter (VSC) is an emerging technology for HVDC transmission [16], [17]. In contrast to the conventional thyristor-based HVDC system, a VSC-HVDC system has the potential to be connected to very weak ac systems, as well as the capability to generate or consume reactive power depending on the operating conditions. Synchronous condensers have to be installed to increase the short-circuit capacity of the ac system. However, synchronous condensers can substantially increase the investment and maintenance costs of an HVDC project [11].

      To enhance the power transmission capability of a VSC-HVDC connected to a very weak power system. Some control strategies were introduced such as power synchronization control (PSC) [8]-[11], [16], virtual

      synchro-converter control [6], [15], [17]-[19], and advanced vector control [11]. The operating performance of the VSC-HVDC that is interconnected with a weak power system was investigated in [11], which indicates that the stability of the VSC was mainly affected by the phase angle difference of the AC voltage when AC voltage control mode was adopted. Hence, to improve the power transmission capability PSC method was adopted. A backup PLL was needed for synchronous loop under AC system faults. Since the power controller has the capability of regulating the AC voltage and frequency, the proposed control method provided an effective solution for large- scale renewable integration. However, the control method did not provide a solution for the interconnection of a weak power system. A series of control strategies such as nonlinear power damping controller [15], comprehensive control framework [18], and multi-variable droop control

      [19] were proposed to imitate VSCs as synchronous machines for integrating renewable power generation into weak power systems.

      The virtual synchro-converter control and PSC can provide great control performance for a VSC-HVDC system. In order to enhance the transmission capability, dominant control strategy has been used for the practical applications is the vector control comprising an outer loop and an inner loop [11]. Conclusions drawn in [11] indicates that it was the outer loop limits the power transmission capability when compare with the inner current loop. An advanced current vector control method was presented using a novel outer loop. During the dynamic state the parameters of the outer loop controllers designed using the H-infinity method needs to be updated.

      A ± 420kV/1250MW back-to-back VSC-HVDC project is planned to interconnect the AC systems between Chongqing City and Hubei Province in China. The project is proposed to employ symmetrical monopole

      Corresponding small signal modeling is established and the performance of the proposed method is studied.

    2. SYSTEM MODEL

      A VSC-HVDC system is presented in Fig. 1, where the basic controller for the rectifier and inverter stations are also presented. Normally, power is sent from he rectifier station to the inverter station. Power control is implemented at the rectifier station, while the inverter station controls dc-link voltage to ensure power balance. An advantage of VSC-HVDC over line commutated Converters HVDC (LCC-HVDC) is its reactive power compensation capability, which is provided by the reactive power controller or ac voltage controller [21].

      Fig.1: Two terminal VSC-HVDC system

      For a balanced three-phase system, Fig. 2 shows the equivalent circuit of a VSC connecting with an ac grid via a coupling inductor, where the resistor is neglected. The ac grid is modeled as an ac voltage source with an impedance.

      improve the stability of the project. To restrain the AC system resonance, active damping impedance has been

      =

      (2)

      combined in the inner loop, such that this control strategy which automatically adjusts the compensated values.

      Where, P and Q are the active and reactive powers between two electrical nodes in ac systems with voltage magnitudes

      and . The quantities and are the phase-angle difference and line impedance between the two nodes. From (1 &2) it follows that the active power is mainly related to the phase angle , while the reactive power is more related to the voltage-magnitude difference. i.e., the active power is controlled by the phase angle of the VSC voltage, while the reactive power is controlled by the magnitude of the VSC voltage

      1. Characteristics of Weak AC Systems

        A weak ac system characterized typically by its high impedance [8]. As the ac-system impedance increases, the voltage magnitude of the ac system will become more sensitive to power variations of the HVDC system. The difficulty is measured by the short-circuit ratio (SCR), which is defined as a ratio of the ac-system short-circuit capacity to the rated power of the HVDC system

        This phenomenon indicates that the PCC needs to absorb reactive power to keep the AC voltage under steady states. Another important phenomenon is that the reactive power is not significantly required when |P| 0.5 (i.e. ||

        30°) [9].However, its demand increases dramatically when |P|>0.5 (i.e.||>30°) especially in the high power level range (|i.e. P| 0.7, ||45°) due to the strong

        nonlinearity of weak power system (SCR=1). Therefore, the reactive power providing capability of VSCs which interconnect with a very weak power system determine the dynamic performance of the weak power system. With dramatically increased demand for reactive power, a capacitor Cf is connected to the PCC to prevent the VSC from over current under steady states in practical applications.

      The impact of active power on the PCC voltage can

      where, is the short-circuit capacity of the ac system at the filter bus, is the rated dc power of the HVDC link.

      1. Operating limits

        When operating a VSC-HVDC link, it is essential to take into account the limitations of the converter in terms of active and reactive power transfer capability. One of the limit is the converter-current limitation, which is imposed by the current rating of the converter valve. Since both the active power and reactive power contribute to the current

        be unambiguously demonstrated by the natural PV analysis. To clarify the dynamic process, we suppose that only one regulator in the two channels is enabled during the dynamic states. The first progress enables the power control loop with reactive power unchanged. The second progress enables the AC voltage control loop with active power unchanged.

        In the first progress, that the value of the phase angle difference increases due to

        flowing through the valve, this limitation is manifested as a

        = sin1

        (4)

        circle.

        Fig.3: Operation limitation of a typical VSC- HVDC converter

        Accordingly, if the converter is intended to support the ac system with reactive power supply/consumption, the maximum active power has to be limited to make sure that the converter current is within the limit. Another limitation which determines the reactive- power capability of the VSC is the over or under-voltage magnitude of the VSC. The over-voltage limitation is imposed by the direct voltage level of the VSC. The under- voltage limit, however, is limited by the active-power transfer capability, which requires a minimum voltage magnitude to transmit the active power. Fig. 3 represents the PQ diagram for a typical VSC-HVDC converter [9].

        In the second state, the active power holds unchanged and the AC voltage controller regulates the q-axis current to produce more reactive power to the PCC.

        The response speed of the reactive power injected into the PCC determines the fluctuation of the PCC voltage in the analyzed dynamic process. However, the response speed of the reactive power is directly related to the AC voltage loop. Hence, whether the response speed of the AC voltage loop can match that of the active power loop will determine the system performance when the active power changes from a low level to a higher level. Consequently, reducing the response speed of the active power and improving the response speed of the AC voltage loop are a reliable way to restrain the fluctuation of the PCC voltage and enhance the system stability when the VSC is interconnected with a very weak power system.

Depending on the requirements of the application, the reactive power control could be substituted with ac grid voltage control. and

          A new control strategy which can achieve two objectives. One is that it would be better for the new control strategy to have the ability to restrain the rate of response of the active power. By doing so, more time is left to the AC voltage controller to generate corresponding reactive power. The other one is that control method should have the ability to enhance the response of the AC voltage loop to suppress the PCC voltage fluctuation[3].

          and are the PI regulators of current loop in d and q axis.

        2. Power control: The rectifier station controls the active power transferred from the left-hand side grid to the converter, which is the outer control loop in dual dq control loops. Equation (17) computes the d -axis current reference that controls the active power flow

    5. PROPOSED METHOD

      Fuzzy Logic Control: L. A. Zadeh presented the first paper on fuzzy set theory in 1965. Since then, a new language was developed to describe the fuzzy properties of reality, which are very difficult and sometime even impossible to be described using conventional methods.

      with some application to power system [29]. A simple

        1. DC voltage control: The inverter station regulates the dc-link voltage and maintains the active power balance. The inner current control loop is identical to the rectifier station shown in Fig. 3, whereas the outer loop is replaced by a dc voltage controller. The dc voltage controller is a typical PI controller.

      Rule Base: The elements of this rule base table are determined based on the theory that in the transient state, large errors need coarse control, which requires coarse in- put/output variables; in the steady state, small errors need fine control, which requires fine input/output variables. Based on this the elements of the rule table are obtained as shown in Table, with Vdc and Vdc-ref as inputs

    6. SIMULATION RESULTS:

      1.Dynamic Performance Analysis:

      The system with compensation method of AC voltage loop has a faster response than of without compensation method. It should be noted that enlarging the parameters of AC voltage PI regulator is able to accelerate the response speed of the without compensation. However, this is limited to a narrow range since it is easy to bring oscillatory instability if the system is underdamped

      Table 1.2 Dynamic Response comparison

      1. Stability Performance Analysis: The stability performance is analyzed by taking the configurations for the electromagnetic simulation model. The active power reference P* ordered from the dispatching center steps -0.1

        p.u. per 0.5s for both methods. The parameters of PI regulator are taken as = 0.005 , = 0.05 and the parameters of AC voltage regulator are taken as =

        0.035 , = 0.35 and the corresponding waveforms are plotted as shown in fig . However with this method of compensation strategy it presents satisfactory performance with PCC voltage almost unchanged during dynamic process.

      2. Stability limit simulation: The operating limits of electromangentic transient model are tested in both rectifier and inverter mode. The first graph plots the active power generated from the VSC. The PCC voltage in the middle graph. In the first dynamic process, voltage continuously sags before t=2.15s because | + | < ||and it gradually restores to steady point around t=2.54s.. (rectifier mode) In second dynamic process, voltage increased to maximum value 1.21p.u at t=4.06s due to | + | >

        ||.( inverter mode).

      3. Damping Performance Analysis: The damping performance of the method is simulated in order to validate the system as it cannot operate in steady state if a single virtual impedance is adopted. Two cases are studied i.e accelerating stability( P= -1.04p.u) and oscillatory stability. (P= 0.94p.u) . The system does not become unstable as long as does not exceed its limited values. The practical situations of the weak power system are simulated i.e. NPS and PPS are superimposed to fundamental voltage. Based on such operating conditions, four desired active power, P*=0.67p.u. and P*=0.4p.u. in rectifier mode, P*=- 0.74p.u. and P*=-0.4p.u. in inverter mode are simulated.

    7. CONCLUSIONS

To enhance the operating limits and stability of VSCs which interconnect with weak power system, a power compensation control strategy combined with active damping control in inner loop has been proposed based on the analysis of PV curves. With the use of Fuzzy controller compensation strategy, the impact of compensation coefficients and steady state operating points on system performance has been studied based on the small signal model of the integrated system. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control method has been validated. Electromagnetic transient simulation models are

considered and verified in MATLAB/Simulink environment for the effectiveness of the method on the performance of operating limits, damping performance, disturbance withstanding capability, and fault ride-through capability.
