Abstract
A novel control strategy of synchronous compensators and converters is proposed to increase the ability of line commutated converter (LCC) based HVDC systems to successfully recover from commutation failures (CFs). The dynamic var support is one of the most important factors, which impact the commutation process. Many synchronous compensators have been implemented to enhance the transient voltage stability for improving the CF recovery performance. However, the traditional automatic voltage regulator (AVR) of synchronous compensator may not be suitable for the commutation voltage support, because the transient var demand of converters during the CF recovery is neglected. In our work, the voltage control will be adaptively adjusted, depending on the state of converters. Case studies based on simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC show that the proposed strategy can improve the performance of fault recovery from CF.
