23 Steady-State Control Modes of VSC-HVDC Owning tohaving full controllable power electronic switch semiconduc-tors such as insulated gate bipolar transistor and gate turn-offthyristor VSC-HVDC has the ability to independent controlactive and reactive power at its terminal So for each VSC acouple of regular used control goals can be set [27]

(1) AC active power control determines the active powerexchanged with the AC system

(2) DC voltage control is used to keep the DC voltagecontrol constant

(3) AC reactive power control determines the reactivepower exchanged with the AC system

(4) AC voltage control instead of controlling reactivepower AC voltage can be directly controlled deter-mining the voltage of the system bus

The general used control means of VSC include thefollowing four categories

A constant DC voltage control constant AC reactivepower controlB constant DC voltage control constant AC voltagecontrolC constant AC active power control constant ACreactive power controlD constant AC active power control constant ACvoltage control

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of

119875dB = 119878B

119880dB = 119880B

119868dB = radic3119868B

119877dB = 119885B

where 119878B 119875dB are the reference power of AC system and DCsystem respectively 119880B 119868B and 119885B are the reference voltagereference current and reference impedance of AC side of theconverter respectively 119880dB 119868dB and 119877dB are the referencevoltage reference current and reference impedance of DCside of the converter respectively

22 Mathematical Steady Model of VSC-HVDC System TheVSC-HVDC system consists of at least two VSC stationsone operating as a rectifier station and the other as aninverter station The VSC stations can be connected as two-terminal multi-terminal or multi-infeed DC system withVSC-HVDC depending on the various different applicationsfields [1ndash3] The steady state physical model for a multi-terminal DC system with VSC-HVDC is shown schemati-cally in Figure 1 The steady models of VSC-HVDC are givenin the per-unit system (pu) as follows

23 Steady-State Control Modes of VSC-HVDC Owning tohaving full controllable power electronic switch semiconduc-tors such as insulated gate bipolar transistor and gate turn-offthyristor VSC-HVDC has the ability to independent controlactive and reactive power at its terminal So for each VSC acouple of regular used control goals can be set [27]

(1) AC active power control determines the active powerexchanged with the AC system

(2) DC voltage control is used to keep the DC voltagecontrol constant

(3) AC reactive power control determines the reactivepower exchanged with the AC system

(4) AC voltage control instead of controlling reactivepower AC voltage can be directly controlled deter-mining the voltage of the system bus

The general used control means of VSC include thefollowing four categories

A constant DC voltage control constant AC reactivepower controlB constant DC voltage control constant AC voltagecontrolC constant AC active power control constant ACreactive power controlD constant AC active power control constant ACvoltage control

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of

23 Steady-State Control Modes of VSC-HVDC Owning tohaving full controllable power electronic switch semiconduc-tors such as insulated gate bipolar transistor and gate turn-offthyristor VSC-HVDC has the ability to independent controlactive and reactive power at its terminal So for each VSC acouple of regular used control goals can be set [27]

(1) AC active power control determines the active powerexchanged with the AC system

(2) DC voltage control is used to keep the DC voltagecontrol constant

(3) AC reactive power control determines the reactivepower exchanged with the AC system

(4) AC voltage control instead of controlling reactivepower AC voltage can be directly controlled deter-mining the voltage of the system bus

The general used control means of VSC include thefollowing four categories

A constant DC voltage control constant AC reactivepower controlB constant DC voltage control constant AC voltagecontrolC constant AC active power control constant ACreactive power controlD constant AC active power control constant ACvoltage control

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of

411 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Two-TerminalVSC-HVDC The results of the power flow calculation of theAC system and DC system under different control modes forNewton third-order and sixth-order Newton methods areshown in Tables 3 and 4 In Table 3 the simulation results ofbus number of 1 2 3 and 4 are presented only and the otherbuses of the modified IEEE 30-bus system are not includedfor the sake of brevity There are two methods of third-orderNewton in Tables 3 and 4 Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2In Table 3 the ldquoNewtonrdquo method is the algorithm in thereferences of [5ndash10] the unit of 119881 is pu and the unit of 120579is ∘

It can be seen from Table 3 the voltage amplitudes of bus1 and bus 2 are all the same for the proposed four methodsThis is due to the node type of bus 1 and bus 2 for the IEEE30-bus system Bus 1 is the equilibrium node And Bus 2 is thePV node So in the iterative process of the proposed differentmethods if the generators of bus 1 and bus 2 have not reachedthe limit of reactive power the voltage amplitudes of bus 1 andbus 2 remain the same

In Table 4 the DC variables of Ud are the same fordifferent control modes and Newton methods the reasonis that for the general used four control modes of VSC allthe mode combinations of A + C A + D B + C andB +D contain the constant DC voltage control category Asa result in the operation process of VSC-HVDC system theDC voltage of VSC remains constant

Both in Tables 3 and 4 for the proposed algorithms ofNewton Algorithm 1 Algorithm 2 and sixth-order Newtonmethod the results of the power flow calculation for the fourdifferent control modes remain the same fundamentally And

the operational parameters of DC system are all in the normalrange The simulation results also illustrate the flexible appli-cation of the third-order and sixth-orderNewtonmethods forthe ACDC system with VSC-HVDC

The comparisons of iteration times and computing timefor the four proposed Newton methods are shown in Table 5In Table 5 the lowast indicates that the criterion for convergenceis met only at the front half iteration procedure As seen inTable 5 for the modified IEEE 30-bus text system with two-terminalVSC-HVDC the iteration times of sixth-orderNew-ton method are evidently less than other Newton methodsAnd the CPU computing time of the third-order Newton ofAlgorithm 2 is smaller than other Newton methods underfour different control modes The reason is that for themodified IEEE 30-bus text system the computation task ofJacobian matrix formation and triangular factorization forhigh-order Newton method is less than Newton method

412 The Modified IEEE 30-Bus System with Multi-InfeedVSC-HVDC For the flexible control performance and par-ticular technical advantages the VSC-HVDC is suitable forapplication in multi-infeed system [5 34] In this sectionthe comparison of iteration times and computing time underdifferent control modes for improved Newton methods isshown in Table 6 for the modified IEEE 30-bus system withtwo-infeed VSC-HVDC For two-infeed VSC-HVDC thecombinations ways of VSC have ten different types as shownin Table 6

It can be seen from Table 6 both for the iteration timesand the computing time the high-order Newton-type of
