    Abstract: A system includes four high voltage direct current (HVDC) feeders, each having a first contactor configured for selectively connecting a positive terminal of an HVDC source to the respective HVDC feeder, and having a second contactor configured for selectively connecting the respective HVDC feeder to an HVDC bus. A power converter can be configured to use feedback to locate a fault when a fault arises, and to isolate the fault by opening of the contactors as needed for continued operation of as many of the HVDC feeders as possible after clearing the fault.

    Abstract: A control method for a grid following voltage source converter (VSC) that does not require a phased locked loop (PLL) allows the VSC to operate stably with an AC system with any strength. The voltage reference for converter valves of a controller of the VSC is produced by a proportional controller and the input to the proportional controller is the difference between the reference and the actual converter instantaneous current values. The instantaneous reference converter current waveform for each phase is generated by adding a scaled version of the voltage waveform of the same phase and a 90 degrees phase shifted waveform of the same. The instantaneous reference current waveform for each phase is multiplied by a gain K_I which is adjusted automatically based on the sum of the differences between the absolute values (or magnitudes) of the actual converter instantaneous phase currents and the reference converter instantaneous phase currents.

    Abstract: A control device includes: a phase generation unit to generate a phase of a voltage command for the power converter; a voltage control unit to generate a voltage value of the voltage command; and a command unit to output the voltage command having the phase and the voltage value to the power converter. The voltage control unit includes: a voltage compensator unit to compute a compensation voltage value, based on a voltage deviation of a point-of-interconnection voltage from a reference voltage; a droop calculator unit to compute a first droop value in accordance with a magnitude of a point-of-interconnection current, when the AC power system is an isolated system, the isolated system being the AC power system not connected to a generator; and a calculation unit to calculate the voltage value of the voltage command, based on a difference between the compensation voltage value and the first droop value.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a resistive sub-module hybrid MMC and a direct current fault processing strategy thereof. The hybrid MMC prevents fault current from entering a direct current system from the alternating current side by artificially creating three-phase earthing short circuit on the alternating current side of a converter during the direct current fault processing process, and can reduce the number of required power electronic devices compared with the module hybrid MMC. At the same time, the direct current fault processing speed of the hybrid MMC is fast, and the duration of the artificially creating three-phase short circuit fault in the fault processing process is less than 60 ms, which will not have a great impact on the alternating current system. The present disclosure greatly reduces the cost of building an overhead line high-voltage flexible direct current transmission system, and has very strong reference significance and use value in engineering.

    Abstract: A fractal power converter and a method for constructing the fractal power converter, the method for constructing the fractal converter including: replacing a switch and/or an energy storage element of an asymmetric half-bridge sub-module with the same asymmetric half-bridge sub-module for at least two times, replacing a switch and/or an energy storage element of a symmetric half-bridge sub-module with the same symmetric half-bridge sub-module for at least two times, and replacing a switch and/or an energy storage element of an H-bridge sub-module with the same H-bridge sub-module for at least two times. Compared with a conventional high-voltage and large-current power converter, the fractal power converter may output any high-voltage and large-current waveform. The system is modularized, the structure is simple and extensible, and voltage and current may be evenly distributed among the modules. The control method is simple and easy to standardize. Multi-port parallel output is allowed.
