Abstract

Summary: An interconnection and damping assignment passivity‐based (IDA‐PB) control design is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of voltage source converter high‐voltage direct current (VSC‐HVDC) system. The port‐controlled Hamiltonian with dissipation (PCHD) model for voltage source converter (VSC) is developed according to the PCHD equation, and the strict passivity of the PCHD model is proved. On the basis of the PCHD model, a desired energy function is constructed by assigning interconnection and damping matrix and used as Lyapunov function. Then the IDA‐PB control is designed according to desired equilibrium point, state variables, and IDA‐PB control principle. By using this type of controller, the influence of the equivalent resistance of the VSC direct current side on the VSC‐HVDC system is eliminated. The effectiveness of the proposed IDA‐PB control is demonstrated through simulation studies on a two‐terminal VSC‐HVDC system by PSCAD/EMTDC software. The simulation results show that the controller has significant contribution to improve the dynamic behavior of the VSC‐HVDC system under a variety of operation conditions.
