    摘要: A voltage source converter comprises: at least two converter limbs, each converter limb extending between DC terminals and having limb portions separated by an AC terminal. Each limb portion includes at least one switching element and at least one chain-link converter including series-connected modules. Each module includes at least one switching element and at least one energy storage device that combine to selectively provide a voltage source. The chain-link converter(s) form a branch to interconnect two AC terminals. Each limb portion is switchable to switch the corresponding chain-link converter(s) into and out of circuit with a respective DC terminal. The chain-link converter(s) is switchable to control the configuration of an AC voltage at each corresponding AC terminal. The converter further includes a control unit that coordinates the switching of the limb portions and the chain-link converter(s) to cause transfer of real power between the AC and DC electrical networks.

    摘要: This application relates to methods and apparatus for control apparatus of a voltage source converter for direct current transmission of electrical power over a transmission line. The control apparatus comprises regulation control for generating a regulation signal for the converter to regulate an electrical parameter of the voltage source converter, such as voltage or power, so as to regulate power transmission over the transmission line. The regulation signal is based on the difference between a measured value of said parameter and a reference value of said parameter, as may be supplied from a reference control block and may be derived from a demand signal indicating the voltage or power demand. The apparatus also includes damping control configured to generate a damping signal for modulating said regulation signal to reduce the effect of resonance within the bandwidth of control of the converter. The damping signal is generated as a function of a measured voltage or current of the transmission line and an impedance value for the transmission line. The damping signal may be high-pass filtered so as to have no substantial impact on steady state operation.

    摘要: This application relates to control methods and apparatus for a voltage source converter comprising a plurality of energy storage devices which can be selectively connected into an arm of the voltage source converter. The apparatus is configured to generate a modelled value of the voltage of an energy storage device of the voltage source converter based on one or more model parameters and the operation of the voltage source converter, receive the modelled value and also a measured value of the voltage of at least one energy storage device, determine an error between the modelled value and the measured value, and generate a model control signal for adapting the model based on said error so that the modelled value substantially corresponds to the measured value. Control circuitry is responsive to said model module and/or said model adaptation module to control operation of the voltage source converter.

    摘要: This application relates to methods and apparatus for control apparatus of a voltage source converter (401) for direct current transmission of electrical power over a transmission line (402). The control apparatus comprises regulation control (403) for generating a regulation signal for the converter to regulate an electrical parameter of the voltage source converter, such as voltage or power, so as to regulate power transmission over the transmission line. The regulation signal is based on the difference between a measured value of said parameter and a reference value of said parameter, as may be supplied from a reference control block (404) and may be derived from a demand signal indicating the voltage or power demand. The apparatus also includes damping control (405) configured to generate a damping signal for modulating said regulation signal to reduce the effect of resonance within the bandwidth of control of the converter. The damping signal is generated as a function of a measured voltage or current of the transmission line and an impedance value for the transmission line. The damping signal may be high-pass filtered (407) so as to have no substantial impact on steady state operation.
