This invention presents a method of novel nonlinear control for designing Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM). A passivity-based approach is proposed for designing robust nonlinear STATCOM controller. The mathematical model of STATCOM will be represented by an Euler-Lagrange (EL) system corresponding to a set of EL parameters. By employing the Park's transformation, the differential geometry approach is used to investigate the power system dynamics with considering STATCOM under the synchronous d-q frame. The energy-dissipative properties of the proposed model derived in the synchronous d-q rotating frame are fully retained. This model also consider the dynamic response of the changable load. Finally, the passivity-based control is employed by using energy shaping and damping injection techniques to produce the proper control signals for Voltage Source Converter. So that the system embedded with STATCOM is more robust and stable.

Method of designing a static synchronous compensator based on passivity-based control

Power flow models of Interline Power Flow Controllers (IPFC) for large-scale power systems are studied, in details. Mathematical models of the IPFC, using the d-q axis decompositions of control parameters are derived. In this framework, for each IPFC, only two control parameters are added to the unknown vector in the iteration formula and the quadratic convergence characteristic is preserved. Simulations results from several practical large-scale power systems embedded with multiple Convertible Static Compensators (CSCs) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models. Comparisons with existing models are made to elucidate the performance of the convergence.

Method for calculating power flow solution of a power transmission network that includes interline power flow controller (IPFC)

A method for calculating power flow solution of a power transmission network with unified power flow controllers is adapted to calculate the power flow on a large-scale power transmission network. The unified power flow controller has a series transformer, a series converter, a direct current coupling capacitor, a shunt converter, and a series transformer. The shunt transformer is connected electrically to a sending-end bus. The series transformer is connected electrically to the sending-end bus and a receiving-end bus. The unified power flow controller is represented by equivalent active and reactive loads on the sending-end and receiving-end buses of the power transmission network.
