Abstract
The DC transmission system provides a cost effective solution for long distance power transmission compared to the AC transmission system. Hence, this has increased the emphasis on the development of the DC transmission system. Development of power converter with modular structure has now made it possible to achieve higher voltage and power level. This opens the possibility for further development of a multi-terminal DC grid. Now once the DC grid system has been formed, it is also important to include more renewable energy sources directly to the DC grid. Therefore, a power conversion stage is required to condition the available power from a source to the grid. This paper shows the operation and control of such a kind of converter system which integrates the solar cell to the DC grid directly. The paper mainly focuses on control of the series connected DAB that have been integrated to HVDC power network. In order to deliver power in HVDC system, the total number of DABs must be high enough to achieve the DC link voltage. The control in that case must be a combination of current and voltage control. In order to validate the proposed control, complete system has been implemented on Opal-RT™ and hardware in the loop (HIL) using external controller has also been implemented to show the system operation.
