Abstract
The Voltage Source Converter based HVDC provides asynchronous interconnection between two AC systems. The use of VSC HVDC enables independent control of real and reactive power. Unlike conventional HVDC, the VSC HVDC does not cause Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) when it is close to turbo-generators. The system strength of long ac transmission line can be enhanced by providing series compensation. However, there is a possibility of SSR interaction with turbine-generator due to the presence of the series capacitor in transmission line and may lead to shaft failure of the turbine-generator. The objective of this paper is to analyze the damping of subsynchronous resonance when the series compensated long AC line and VSC HVDC are originated from the same substation. A simple method for the extraction of subsynchronous component of line current using filter is proposed. The extracted subsynchronous frequency current is injected by the VSC HVDC converter close to the turbine-generator. This suppresses the subsynchronous current flowing through the generator and increases the damping of the system at critical torsional frequencies. This technique is termed as Subsynchronous Current Injection (SSCI). Subsynchronous current injector is designed using D–Q model of VSC HVDC. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used for tuning the converter controllers and filter parameters. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed subsynchronous current injector in damping of SSR.
