Effect of Control-Loops Interactions on Power Stability Limits of VSC Integrated to AC System
2018
This paper investigates the effect of control-loops interactions on power stability limits of the voltage-source converter (VSC) as connected to an ac system. The focus is put on the physical mechanism of the control-loops interactions in the VSC, revealing that interactions among the control loops result in the production of an additional loop. The open-loop gain of the additional loop is employed to quantify the severity of the control-loop interactions. Furthermore, the power current sensitivity, closely related to control-loops interactions, is applied to estimate the maximum transferrable power of the VSC connected to an ac grid. On that basis, stability analysis results show that interactions between dc-link voltage control and phase-locked loop restrict the power angle to about 51° for stable operation with no dynamic reactive power supported. Conversely, the system is capable of approaching the ac-side maximum power transfer limits with alternating voltage control included. Simulations in MATLAB/Simulink are conducted to validate the stability analysis.
