Control of MTDC Transmission Systems under Local Information
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is a commonly used technology for
long-distance electric power transmission, mainly due to its low resistive
losses. In this paper a distributed controller for multi-terminal high-voltage
direct current (MTDC) transmission systems is considered. Sufficient conditions
for when the proposed controller renders the closed-loop system asymptotically
stable are provided. Provided that the closed loop system is asymptotically
stable, it is shown that in steady-state a weighted average of the deviations
from the nominal voltages is zero. Furthermore, a quadratic cost of the current
injections is minimized asymptotically
Distributed PI-Control with Applications to Power Systems Frequency Control
This paper considers a distributed PI-controller for networked dynamical
systems. Sufficient conditions for when the controller is able to stabilize a
general linear system and eliminate static control errors are presented. The
proposed controller is applied to frequency control of power transmission
systems. Sufficient stability criteria are derived, and it is shown that the
controller parameters can always be chosen so that the frequencies in the
closed loop converge to nominal operational frequency. We show that the load
sharing property of the generators is maintained, i.e., the input power of the
generators is proportional to a controller parameter. The controller is
evaluated by simulation on the IEEE 30 bus test network, where its
effectiveness is demonstrated
Distributed Primary Frequency Control through Multi-Terminal HVDC Transmission Systems
This paper presents a decentralized controller for sharing primary AC
frequency control reserves through a multi-terminal HVDC grid. By using
Lyapunov arguments, the proposed controller is shown to stabilize the
equilibrium of the closed-loop system consisting of the interconnected AC and
HVDC grids, given any positive controller gains. The static control errors
resulting from the proportional controller are quantified and bounded by
analyzing the equilibrium of the closed-loop system. The proposed controller is
applied to a test grid consisting of three asynchronous AC areas interconnected
by an HVDC grid, and its effectiveness is validated through simulation
