Paper 1: Intro and motivationMotivation

The conventional VSC (voltage source converter) model using qdcurrent components as dynamic variables, resulting a nonlinear VSC-control model which in turn adds to the complexity of the control designAmong linear control methods, state feedback based methods do not necessarily provide robust controller since control provisions are not readily formulated in these methodsAmong nonlinear control methods, feedback linearization method is not robust since its requires precise cancellation of VSC model nonlinearization

Proposed solutionA linear model using instantaneous real and reactive power components p(t) and q(t) as dynamic variablesRobust controller design procedures can deployed since the model dynamic variables are independent of the reference frame 3

Paper 1: Multivariable controller designReal and reactive power controller

The sequential loop closing (SLC) method is used to design the controllers for the multivariable model. The SLC is a generalization of the classical controller design approach for multivariable systems. This design method ensures that the overall system remain stable provided that the system retains stability at each step of controller design. The SLC employs well established controller design techniques, such as: bode plot and root locus, to design the robust controller.

Real power controller designSet uq=0 that is let up and p be the first pair input output variables, the SISO system is:

pugtp 12)( = where ( )pPGu r efcp p−=

The controller is designed such that the first SISO loop is a stable loop with the required specifications. The closed loop equation of the first loop in Laplace domain is:

Paper 1: Application exampleTracking capability

Tracking capability of the designed controllers is examined by applying a step function to Qref

to the closed-loop system.

Fig shows the VSC reactive power and the dc-side voltage responses to the step in Qref.

Tracking time less than 10% Settling time less than 3 cycles

Max of 0.05p.u voltage drop in the dc-side voltage is recovered in less than 3 cycles

Steady state errors in both reactive power and dc side voltage are 0

The obtained results do agree with the corresponding responses obtained based on conventional control

Fig.8 shows variations of the dc side voltage and the corresponding reactive power flow, subsequent to the dc side disturbance

Fig.8a shows that the VSC control system reverts the capacitor voltage to its reference value in less than 3cycles and maintain the dc side voltage within 7% of the rated value

Fig.8b shows that q(t) deviates 0.1p.u. and the reactive power controller regulates q(t) to its reference value in less than 3 cycles

The proposed current limiter capability is studied

To have a steep slop of limiter function, τ=5 Two temporary three-cycle faults; a three-phase

and a single phase are studied PCC faults are imposed at t=0 and removed at t=3 The per phase fault impedance for the three and

single phase faults are 0.1Ω and 0.04Ω which result in fault currents of up to 10 p.u.

1) Three phase fault: Solid lines in Fig.11 depict the system behavior when the limiter is in service Fig.11a shows when the limiter is in service, the peak value of the fault current in the

first cycle is about 2.5 p.u. and the peak value of the dc side voltage is less than 1.15 p.u. Fig.11a shows when the fault is cleared, the rms current is limited to 1.5 p.u. Fig.11b shows when the fault is cleared, the dc side voltage remains less than 1.1 p.u. After fault is cleared, the current and dc side voltage return to their steady state in less

than 3 cycles

Prior to each fault, the rms current and the dc side voltage are at 1 p.u.Fig. 11

Paper 1: Application example Dashed line show the system response to the same fault when the limiter is not in service Fig.11a,11b show the VSC current and dc side voltage subsequent to the fault increase to

3.5 p.u. and 1.2 p.u., respectivily When the limiter is not in service, VSC current and dc side voltage experience higher peak

values since the controller still employs prefault values of Pref and Qref during the fault Fig.11 shows the effectiveness of the dynamic current limiter in reducing the VSC current

and the dc side voltage deviations following the three phase fault2) Single phase fault: Fig.12 shows system response to the SP fault Fig.12 indicates that the peak encountered

values are less than those of the three phase fault for the same fault rms current

Fig.12a shows the VSC current is limited to 2.5 p.u. without the limiter and 1.5 p.u. when the limiter is in service

The dc side max overvoltage in Fig.12b is about 0.15 p.u. without the limiter and 0.1 p.u. when the limiter is employed

Fig.12 reveals that after the fault clearancethe VSC current and dc side voltage return to steady state conditions in less than 2 cycles

For these 3 ind values, overshoot is less than 10%; the rise time is less than one cycle; settling time is less than three cycles

Fig.13a verifies the robustness of the control system to variations in L Fig.13b shows the robustness of the controller to variation of C Fig.13b shows for all three values of C, voltage deviations are less than 0.1 p.u. and the

Paper 1: Conclusion A new multivariable model and controller design approach for a VSC are presented Instantaneous real and reactive power components are used as dynamic variables VSC control system consists of an inner feedback loop to control real and reactive power;

an outer loop to control dc side voltage via real power control A mechanism to dynamically limit overcurrent subsequent to a fault The inner control loop is designed based on sequential loop closing method The outer control loop is designed based on an SISO control method The current limiting scheme reduces power exchange between the VSC and power system

during fault conditions The salient feature

o The model dynamic variables are independent from the frame of referenceo Well established robust multivariable control techniques can be adopted based on the proposed

model A study system is used to demonstrate, the results indicate that

o VSC controllers designed based on the multivariable model to fulfill the desired tracking and disturbance rejection specifications

o The control system is robust to the system parameter variations and frame of referenceo The proposed protection scheme successfully limits switch overcurrent during and subsequent

to fault Accuracy of the developed model and effectiveness of the proposed controller are

validated based on time domain simulation studies of test system in software enviromnet28

Paper 2: Intro and motivationMotivation

To solve a canonical problem in decentralized control is to minimize a norm of the closed-loop map subject to a subspace constraint as:

But for a general linear operator P and subspace S, there is no known tractable algorithm for computing the optimal K

Proposed solutionIf the controller’s constraint satisfy a condition called quadratic invariance, with respect to(wrt) the system being controlledThe optimal decentralized control problem may be reduced to a convex optimization problem

Decentralized controlInstead of a single controller connected to a physical systems, one has separate controllers, each with access to different information and with authority over different decision or actuation variables

Paper 2: Intro and motivationProblem formulation

Given Banach spaces U, W, Y, Z, generalized plant P∈ℒ(W×U, Z×Y), and a subspace of admissible controller S⊆ℒ(Y, U), solve problem:

(1)

S is chosen to represent the desired decentralization of the controller, S is called the information constraint

The problem is very general: Signal space U, W, Y, Z may be continuous or discrete Signal and system may evolve over infinite time, over finite time interval The norm may represent a deterministic measure or stochastic measure

of performance The plant and system are assumed to be linear, continuous, causal and LTI The problem is made more difficult by the constraint K in the subspace S is non-convex function of K, no computationally tractable

approach is known for solving this problem for arbitrary P and S
