14. Dynamic average-value model of high power ac-dc converters and HVDC systems

Author

Atighechi, Hamid

Abstract

High power switching converters such as line-commutated converters (LCC) and high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems are widely used in modern energy grids for interconnection of industrial loads, large motor drives, as well as electronically-interfaced renewable/alternative/distributed energy resources (DER) and storage systems. For design and analysis of systems with power-electronic-based DERs and loads, accurate and efficient computer models are essential. This thesis is focused on dynamic average-value models (AVM) that neglect switching of converter circuits and are established by averaging the variables (currents and voltages) over a prototypical switching interval. The AVMs are continuous (free of switching), allow using larger integration time steps, and typically run much faster than the conventional detailed switching models, which makes them particularly useful for the system-level studies. This thesis considers the parametric AVM framework, and extends this approach to the thyristor-controlled LCCs operating in inverter mode with current source or voltage source control. The proposed modeling methodology is demonstrated on various topologies including the HVDC CIGRE benchmark system. The research is further extended to incorporate the ac side harmonics into the AVM using the multiple reference frame theory. Traditionally, the AVMs are developed using state-variable-based approach. This thesis also presents a new parametric AVM for direct interfacing in nodal-analysis-based electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP), e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP-RV, and MicroTran. It is expected that the proposed models and interfacing approaches will find their application in widely used transient simulation tools and will be appreciated by many researchers and practicing engineers worldwide.

Abstract

Electric power distribution systems of many commercial and industrial sites often employ variable frequency drives and other loads that internally utilize dc. Such loads are often based on front-end line-commutated rectifiers. The detailed switch-level models of such rectifier systems can be readily implemented using a number of widely available digital programs and transient simulation tools including the EMT- (Electro-Magnetic Transient) and Matlab/Simulink. To improve the simulation efficiency for the system-level transient studies with large number of such subsystems, the so-called dynamic average models have been utilized. This paper presents the average-value modeling methodologies for the conventional three-phase (six-pulse) front-end rectifier loads. The paper demonstrates the system operation and the dynamic performance of the developed average models in discontinuous and continuous modes, as well as under balanced and unbalanced operation.
