Nonlinear multitarget H., controller for thyristor-controlled series compensation ‘S.Mei, J.Chen, Q.Lu, ¥.H.Song, M.Goto and A.Yokoyama Abstract: Thyristor-contolled series compensation (TCSC) has teen planned for the L1-Shuanghe S0OKY transmission lines of the Three Gorge project in Contral China, which will be the work!’ Jrgest hydropower station when completed. To achieve a number of benefits, such as improving the isunsient sabiliy and dynamic performance of power systems and enhancing the power transfer capability of long transmission lines, a novel nonlinear multtarget H controller for TCSC in a mulkimachine power system is presented. With this now contcol scheme the effet of exogenous clsturbances of the sytem is attenuated efficiently. The TCSC can achieve better adaptability to the variation of the system operating mode. The designed control law has engineering practicality since the variables are local measurements. Simulations performed on the Three Gorge transmission power system demonstrate tht the proposed nonlinear mulstargl #7, controller for TCSC is more effective than other types of TCSC eontrole for improving both dynamic performance and transient stability, thus enhancing the power transfer capability ofthe long transmission ines ofthe Three Gorge power system, 1. Introduction ‘Great changes have taken place in power transmission sys- tems with the development of the flexible AC transmission sgstem (FACTS)[I], FACTS devies can bring many bene- fits to power sysiems such as stability improvement, power ‘osellation damping, subsynchronous resonance mitigation and power flow control. Thyrisor-controlied series com- pensation (TCSC) is one of the key FACTS devices. Power transer capability over long, interregional trans- mission lines is usually constrained by both large- and ‘small-signal stability. Series compensation technology has been proved to be an esonomical and valid: method to improve the situation, With the insertion of the series ‘apacitor, the reactance ofthe transmission lines is reduced the rotor angle diference between sending and reosving Sides ip abo decreased. Thus the transient stability and the ower transfer capability of fong transmission lines are realy enhanced. Existing installations of TCSC deseribed fn the literature are the Western Area Power Administra tion's Kayenta sit [2-4] and Bonneville Power Administra tion's Slat substation [5} In the Northeast China Power ‘System itis planned (o instal a set of $00 KV TCSC equi ‘ent in the Vimin-Fengtun transmission line [6} and in the Three Gorge power sysem, Siem OE 110834 —.101013 pe fied th March i eal on 1 Jay 200) Mei, Chen ani QL ae wth the Besa Engrg Depron, Tha ery, in Pegs Repo Chi, YH.

A nonlinear adaptive control law for the TCSC was introduced in [6] while {7} presented A method of linearisation of system at the operating point ‘More rcently inteligent control theory was also employed in the control of the TCSC. In fact, most control design approaches forthe 'TCSCs are tll based on models with Fixed structure and parameters. As we knows, practical Power system is nonlinear (8}, of high-dimension, and of uncertain dynamics [8]. For power systems, exogenous and internal disturbances always exist. To attenuate the influe ence of such disturbances [10-12], a novel design approach based on a nonlinear power system model with TSC involving disturbances is presented in the paper. First, the feedback linearisation approach is employed to transform the nonlinear power system with a TCSC device into a linear system. Then, by means of 27 theory, & multtarget controller is designed, This designed control law fas the property of independence of the parameters of netvorks since the variables in the control are local measurements. Simulations performed on the Three Gorge transmission system clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed contol, 2 China's Three Gorge system ‘The Three Gorge project will be the largest hydro power plant in the word, When completed it will be the key ‘component of the three regional power grids: East Chins, Central China and Sichuan-Chonaging power systems. ‘These grids will supply power to customers in almost ten ities and provinees which lie in the middle of China along the Changjiang River. Thus itis very important co hold the stability of the Three Gorge system and a set of TSC equipment isto be installed in this system, In the Three Gorge sytem there willbe hundreds of gen- erators working together among which five generator sets rnamed ‘LI "L2, "RI "RY and ‘GZB" will make a greater contibution than any others, there is a disturbance along the transmission lines which connect these five generator sets, the whole system may oscillate and even collapse. To Improve the stability of the system a set of TCSC will be installed in the transmission line which connects LI gencra- tor set and the SH transformer substation, For convenience, the whole grid is simplified in this paper as shown in Fig. 1. The East China grid and Henan power grid will be regarded as loads of the Central China rid, and the power is delivered through four DC transmis- sion lines from the Three Gorge system to the East China rid Symbol i: Hyetonome Staton Water Paring Power Str Siaion 01 Tanner Subiaton {CBC Con Staton | BOBS 408V AC Tananieon Line Fig. 1 Sori Te Gre pve so 3.
