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