Abstract

Abstract : This study presents the comparison among three control systems: Cigre Benchmark model, ABB model, and SIMENS model based on PSCAD. Firstly, the control systems which refer to Cigre Benchmark control model, ABB control model, and SIMENS control model are introduced, respectively. Analysis and comparison are done on these control systems about their design theories, control logic, and functional models, and the advantages and disadvantages of each control system are concluded. Secondly, simulations in both normal and fault conditions are done in order to verify the conclusions. On the one hand, the steady‐state response characteristics of these three high‐voltage direct current (HVDC) models are obtained and compared by setting different voltage of the receiving terminal AC bus. On the other hand, the transient response characteristics of these three HVDC models under different operating conditions are obtained, such as symmetrical and asymmetrical short‐circuit fault, line switching on or off etc. The research results will provide experiences and references for the future optimisation of the HVDC control system.
