Abstract
We present a new reactive power control method for hybrid high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) systems that features a line-commutated converter-based (LCC) rectifier and a voltage-sourced converter-based (VSC) inverter. Our principal objective is to regulate the reactive power of the LCC rectifier side via co-operative control of the DC voltage and switched shunt devices (SSDs) such as capacitors and reactors. To achieve these objectives, we used three operative modes: reactive power, voltage, and power factor control. For each mode, we show how to determine the DC reference voltage. Also, to maintain the voltage within operational bounds and enhance the range over which reactive power is controllable, our method features the cooperation of SSDs. Furthermore, we show how to determine the required SSD capacities. MATLAB and PSCAD simulations confirmed that our method improves reactive power controllability at the LCC rectifier side of a hybrid HVDC system.
