- The frequency of the single phase commuta-

tion voltage can be freely selected tak-

ing into account generation of harmonics,

cost and losses of t he transformer and

the tw o single-phase converter bridges.

-

The intermediate dc-stage will also make

it easy to connect a battery or some

other energy stor age element, which might

be required for starting up and short

time power supplies during disturbances

in either the local ac-system or the main

HVDC system.

One disadvantage of that conversion is per-

formed in two stages is that it gives

slightly increasing losses. This seems to be

of minor importance for this special appli-

cation for which the alternative pow er sup-

ply is local generation.

The function of the tapping station will be

further described based on the fig 2.  The

converter

1

on DC line potential is a

current-source line-commutated conver ter and

the converters 2 and 3 voltage-source

forced-commutated converters.

The voltages between the ac-terminals of the

converters

2

and 3 are directly proportional

to t he voltage U across the capacitor con-

nected between tlfe converters. The relation-

ship between the voltage Vv3 and U can be

controlled by PWM (pulse wldth mo&lation)

but this is not considered in th is paper.

The waveshape of the voltage Uv 3 is further

illustrated in fig. 3, assuming completely

smoothed voltage Vc ,ac ross the capacitor C.

The voltage level in the local ac-network

will thus be directly controlled by the con-

trol of the voltage U and the frequency by

the switching

frequent

of the converter 3.

The commutation voltage for converter

1

will

also be directly determined by th e voltage

U and the turn ratio Nl : N2 of the trans-

fgrmer between the converters 1 and 2.

The voltage across the converter bridge

1

will have th e wave shape as illustrated in

figure 4 which also shows the voltage on

the ac-side of converter 2, Uv2. The angle

of overlap and the commutation margin y are

also shown in figure

4. 

From this figure we

will also obtain the following relationship.

For th e angle of overlap we obtain

(3)

Where 012 s the angular frequency for the

converters, 1 and 2 and L is the commuta-

tion reactance for convertelr 1.

Inserting equation 4 in 3 gives

Inserting equation 3 in 6 gives

(7)

Regarding th e choice of a suitable value for

the commutation margin

y

at rated operation

it has to be considered that y must include

a sufficiently large control margin if it

requires to feed rated power to the local

ac-network also at a reduced current on the

dc-line.

The control sv st m

A

number of different control strategies

might be possible for the above presented

circuit for a tapping station. Below the

control scheme used at performed simulation

study with the EMTP program will be pre-

sented. The control system is further illus-

trated in figure 5. The frequency of the re-

ceiving ac-network is controlled by the

firing of converter 3. AS no PWM is assumed

for the converter 3 the internal voltage U

is directly determi ned by t he voltag e of tg

capacitor C.

The ac-voltage of the receiving ac-network

will be controlled by adjusting the refer-

ence value for the regulator controlling the

voltage of the capacitor C.

The difference between the current I and

Id3.wil l be equal to the current in t% ca-

pacitor. This gives

If we assume that both the ac-load and th us

I

and the

D C

current I dl are constant

ti% time derivativ e of th e capacit or voltage

is directly determined by an adjustment in

the commutation margin Ay The equation 7

and 8 give

The control of the capacitor voltage by con-

trol of y at constant values of I dl and

I

corresponds to the two upper control blocftla

in fig. 5. The value of yin steady state op-

eration with

Uc=

U can be calculated

from equation

7

whigegfves

Inserting the expression for u according to

equation 4 gives

The four lower blocks in fig. 5  correspond

to the calculation of y according to equa-

tion

11.

By having this direct control of y

from the measured direct current Idl in the

dc-system and the measured load current in

converter 3, I d3 ,, it is possible to avoid

that fast changes in the currents I

or

Id3

will give large tran sient chang es og'the ca-

pacitor voltage

Uc.

As

we here have neglected th e losses we will

for steady state operation obtain
