1 Introduction

Voltage source converter based high voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC) technology which uses advanced (insulatedgate bipolar transistor) IGBT device and pulse width modu-lation (PWM) method overcomes the disadvantage of tradi-tional HVDC It can not only adjust the active and reactivepower independently but also supply power to passivenetwork system Therefore the VSC-HVDC technology hasa broad application prospect in the fields of distributed gen-eration asynchronous AC network interconnection remote-area power supply and so forth [1ndash5]

Because VSC-HVDC is a multiple input multiple out-put strong coupling nonlinear system its control problemis always attracting much attention from the scholars Inchronological order its research process can be classified intothe following two phases

(1) The steady state mathematical model and basic con-trol strategy of VSC-HVDC system [6] developedthe steady state model and proposed control strategywhich combined an inverse model controller witha PI controller Reference [7] presented an equiv-alent continuous-time state space model of VSC-HVDC in the synchronous 119889-119902 reference frame and

proposed a decoupled PI control strategy using thefeed-forward compensation method Reference [8]presented the elements of VSC-HVDC and proposeda feed-forward decoupled current control strategyIn this phase the study is mainly based on thetraditional PI controllers under the linear decouplingcontrol strategy The design method of this kind ofcontrol strategy is easy And it shows good adjust-ment ability But the parameters of PI controllers arefixed and their adjustment ability is limited Whensystem suffers from large disturbance they showweakrobustness and dynamic characteristics Some severecases can lead to sustained oscillation of the systemTherefore some scholars started the second phasestudy

(2) Optimizing and nonlinear control strategy of theVSC-HVDC system [9] proposed an adaptive controldesign to improve dynamic performances of VSC-HVDC systems The adaptive controllers designedfor nonlinear characteristics of VSC-HVDC systemswhich were based on back stepping method con-sidered parameters uncertainties Reference [10] pre-sented a robust nonlinear controller for VSC-HVDCtransmission link using input-output linearization

and sliding mode control strategy The feedbacklinearization was used to cancel nonlinearity and thesliding mode control offered invariant stability tomodeling uncertainties Reference [11] proposed thecontroller design based on 119867infin control methodolo-gies to deal with the nonlinearities introduced byrequirements to power flow and line voltage Refer-ence [12] addressed two different robust nonlinearcontrol methodologies based on slidingmode controlfor the VSC-HVDC transmission systemrsquos perfor-mance enhancement and stability improvement Inthis phase the studies are based on the nonlinearcontrol robust control and optimizing control of theVSC-HVDC system The experimental results fromresearch papers show these control strategies canimprove static dynamic and robust performance ofVSC-HVDC system

However the referred literatures are based on the continuous-time state In practice nowadays most controllers are imple-mented in discrete time It is known that the realization of acontroller using digital elements and complex programmablelogic devices can achieve maximum reproducibility at min-imum cost So it is necessary to do research on the discretemodel and control strategy In [13] the discrete PI controllersof VSC-HVDC system were established Reference [14] stud-ied the discrete PI control algorithm of VSC-HVDC systemwhich supplied power to the passive network

But so far the discrete-time mathematic model and con-trol strategy based on nonlinear control methods are seldomstudied by scholars Through proper feedback linearizationcontrol strategy complex nonlinear system synthesis prob-lems can be transformed to linear system synthesis problemsAs a kind of robust control method sliding mode controlis versatile to linear and nonlinear system It is easy to bedesigned and carried out Because of its complete robustnessto the parameters change and external disturbances whichmeet the match condition it gets extensive attention fromscholars and engineers [15]

Therefore the discrete mathematical model of the VSC-HVDC system based on nonlinear feedback linearizationand discrete sliding mode control algorithm are proposedin this paper And the fast output sampling (FOS) tech-nique is adopted in the output feedback which ensuresthe stability of the closed loop system in the condition ofquasi slidingmode controlThe simulation results performedin MATLABSIMULINK show that the proposed discretecontrol strategy can make the VSC-HVDC system have goodoperation performance

3 Discrete Sliding Mode Control ofVSC-HVDC System

In ideal continuous-time case the SMC (sliding mode con-trol) switches at infinite frequency and forces the states toslide on the so-called switching hyperplane In practicalapplications direct implementation of continuous-time SMCschemes using digital elements which are considered asthe device for imperfect switching will inevitably inducechattering phenomenon and deteriorate performance or eveninduce instability Chattering will cause serious harmonicswhich is undesirable in VSC-HVDC systems Hence thecontroller design using the discrete-time SMC (DSMC)algorithm is desirable for a successful implementation ofthe VSC-HVDC control systems And due to the finitesampling frequency the controller inputs are calculated onceper sampling period and held constant during that intervalUnder such a circumstance the trajectories of the systemstates of interest are unable to preciselymove along the slidingsurface which will lead to a quasi sliding mode motion only[18] Therefore only using static output feedback technologyhas not effectively ensured the control effect of discrete slidingmode controlThe fast output sampling technology should beused [17 19]

31 Fast Output Sampling (FOS) Technology Compared withthe static output feedback technology FOS not only keeps itsadvantage but also can randomly configure the system polesand always make the closed loop system stable And thenFOS can ensure the effectiveness of the discrete sliding modecontrol In the FOS every sampling period 120591 is divided into119873subintervals Here Δ = 120591119873 and119873 is equal to or greater thanthe observable index of system (AB) The output variablesare measured at time instants 119905 = 119897Δ 119897 = 0 1 119873 minus 1Consider the discrete-time system having be at time 119905 = 119896120591the fast output samples are obtained as [17 19]

x12 (k) = Ar120591x12 (k minus 1) +Br12059112059212 (k minus 1)

and sliding mode control strategy The feedbacklinearization was used to cancel nonlinearity and thesliding mode control offered invariant stability tomodeling uncertainties Reference [11] proposed thecontroller design based on 119867infin control methodolo-gies to deal with the nonlinearities introduced byrequirements to power flow and line voltage Refer-ence [12] addressed two different robust nonlinearcontrol methodologies based on slidingmode controlfor the VSC-HVDC transmission systemrsquos perfor-mance enhancement and stability improvement Inthis phase the studies are based on the nonlinearcontrol robust control and optimizing control of theVSC-HVDC system The experimental results fromresearch papers show these control strategies canimprove static dynamic and robust performance ofVSC-HVDC system

However the referred literatures are based on the continuous-time state In practice nowadays most controllers are imple-mented in discrete time It is known that the realization of acontroller using digital elements and complex programmablelogic devices can achieve maximum reproducibility at min-imum cost So it is necessary to do research on the discretemodel and control strategy In [13] the discrete PI controllersof VSC-HVDC system were established Reference [14] stud-ied the discrete PI control algorithm of VSC-HVDC systemwhich supplied power to the passive network

But so far the discrete-time mathematic model and con-trol strategy based on nonlinear control methods are seldomstudied by scholars Through proper feedback linearizationcontrol strategy complex nonlinear system synthesis prob-lems can be transformed to linear system synthesis problemsAs a kind of robust control method sliding mode controlis versatile to linear and nonlinear system It is easy to bedesigned and carried out Because of its complete robustnessto the parameters change and external disturbances whichmeet the match condition it gets extensive attention fromscholars and engineers [15]

Therefore the discrete mathematical model of the VSC-HVDC system based on nonlinear feedback linearizationand discrete sliding mode control algorithm are proposedin this paper And the fast output sampling (FOS) tech-nique is adopted in the output feedback which ensuresthe stability of the closed loop system in the condition ofquasi slidingmode controlThe simulation results performedin MATLABSIMULINK show that the proposed discretecontrol strategy can make the VSC-HVDC system have goodoperation performance

3 Discrete Sliding Mode Control ofVSC-HVDC System

In ideal continuous-time case the SMC (sliding mode con-trol) switches at infinite frequency and forces the states toslide on the so-called switching hyperplane In practicalapplications direct implementation of continuous-time SMCschemes using digital elements which are considered asthe device for imperfect switching will inevitably inducechattering phenomenon and deteriorate performance or eveninduce instability Chattering will cause serious harmonicswhich is undesirable in VSC-HVDC systems Hence thecontroller design using the discrete-time SMC (DSMC)algorithm is desirable for a successful implementation ofthe VSC-HVDC control systems And due to the finitesampling frequency the controller inputs are calculated onceper sampling period and held constant during that intervalUnder such a circumstance the trajectories of the systemstates of interest are unable to preciselymove along the slidingsurface which will lead to a quasi sliding mode motion only[18] Therefore only using static output feedback technologyhas not effectively ensured the control effect of discrete slidingmode controlThe fast output sampling technology should beused [17 19]

31 Fast Output Sampling (FOS) Technology Compared withthe static output feedback technology FOS not only keeps itsadvantage but also can randomly configure the system polesand always make the closed loop system stable And thenFOS can ensure the effectiveness of the discrete sliding modecontrol In the FOS every sampling period 120591 is divided into119873subintervals Here Δ = 120591119873 and119873 is equal to or greater thanthe observable index of system (AB) The output variablesare measured at time instants 119905 = 119897Δ 119897 = 0 1 119873 minus 1Consider the discrete-time system having be at time 119905 = 119896120591the fast output samples are obtained as [17 19]

3 Discrete Sliding Mode Control ofVSC-HVDC System

In ideal continuous-time case the SMC (sliding mode con-trol) switches at infinite frequency and forces the states toslide on the so-called switching hyperplane In practicalapplications direct implementation of continuous-time SMCschemes using digital elements which are considered asthe device for imperfect switching will inevitably inducechattering phenomenon and deteriorate performance or eveninduce instability Chattering will cause serious harmonicswhich is undesirable in VSC-HVDC systems Hence thecontroller design using the discrete-time SMC (DSMC)algorithm is desirable for a successful implementation ofthe VSC-HVDC control systems And due to the finitesampling frequency the controller inputs are calculated onceper sampling period and held constant during that intervalUnder such a circumstance the trajectories of the systemstates of interest are unable to preciselymove along the slidingsurface which will lead to a quasi sliding mode motion only[18] Therefore only using static output feedback technologyhas not effectively ensured the control effect of discrete slidingmode controlThe fast output sampling technology should beused [17 19]

31 Fast Output Sampling (FOS) Technology Compared withthe static output feedback technology FOS not only keeps itsadvantage but also can randomly configure the system polesand always make the closed loop system stable And thenFOS can ensure the effectiveness of the discrete sliding modecontrol In the FOS every sampling period 120591 is divided into119873subintervals Here Δ = 120591119873 and119873 is equal to or greater thanthe observable index of system (AB) The output variablesare measured at time instants 119905 = 119897Δ 119897 = 0 1 119873 minus 1Consider the discrete-time system having be at time 119905 = 119896120591the fast output samples are obtained as [17 19]

3 Discrete Sliding Mode Control ofVSC-HVDC System

In ideal continuous-time case the SMC (sliding mode con-trol) switches at infinite frequency and forces the states toslide on the so-called switching hyperplane In practicalapplications direct implementation of continuous-time SMCschemes using digital elements which are considered asthe device for imperfect switching will inevitably inducechattering phenomenon and deteriorate performance or eveninduce instability Chattering will cause serious harmonicswhich is undesirable in VSC-HVDC systems Hence thecontroller design using the discrete-time SMC (DSMC)algorithm is desirable for a successful implementation ofthe VSC-HVDC control systems And due to the finitesampling frequency the controller inputs are calculated onceper sampling period and held constant during that intervalUnder such a circumstance the trajectories of the systemstates of interest are unable to preciselymove along the slidingsurface which will lead to a quasi sliding mode motion only[18] Therefore only using static output feedback technologyhas not effectively ensured the control effect of discrete slidingmode controlThe fast output sampling technology should beused [17 19]

31 Fast Output Sampling (FOS) Technology Compared withthe static output feedback technology FOS not only keeps itsadvantage but also can randomly configure the system polesand always make the closed loop system stable And thenFOS can ensure the effectiveness of the discrete sliding modecontrol In the FOS every sampling period 120591 is divided into119873subintervals Here Δ = 120591119873 and119873 is equal to or greater thanthe observable index of system (AB) The output variablesare measured at time instants 119905 = 119897Δ 119897 = 0 1 119873 minus 1Consider the discrete-time system having be at time 119905 = 119896120591the fast output samples are obtained as [17 19]

Then the rectifier side can be expressed as

x12 (k) = Ar120591x12 (k minus 1) +Br12059112059212 (k minus 1)

y12k = Cr0x12 (k minus 1) +Dr012059212 (k minus 1) (20)

The inverter side can be expressed as

3 Discrete Sliding Mode Control ofVSC-HVDC System

In ideal continuous-time case the SMC (sliding mode con-trol) switches at infinite frequency and forces the states toslide on the so-called switching hyperplane In practicalapplications direct implementation of continuous-time SMCschemes using digital elements which are considered asthe device for imperfect switching will inevitably inducechattering phenomenon and deteriorate performance or eveninduce instability Chattering will cause serious harmonicswhich is undesirable in VSC-HVDC systems Hence thecontroller design using the discrete-time SMC (DSMC)algorithm is desirable for a successful implementation ofthe VSC-HVDC control systems And due to the finitesampling frequency the controller inputs are calculated onceper sampling period and held constant during that intervalUnder such a circumstance the trajectories of the systemstates of interest are unable to preciselymove along the slidingsurface which will lead to a quasi sliding mode motion only[18] Therefore only using static output feedback technologyhas not effectively ensured the control effect of discrete slidingmode controlThe fast output sampling technology should beused [17 19]

31 Fast Output Sampling (FOS) Technology Compared withthe static output feedback technology FOS not only keeps itsadvantage but also can randomly configure the system polesand always make the closed loop system stable And thenFOS can ensure the effectiveness of the discrete sliding modecontrol In the FOS every sampling period 120591 is divided into119873subintervals Here Δ = 120591119873 and119873 is equal to or greater thanthe observable index of system (AB) The output variablesare measured at time instants 119905 = 119897Δ 119897 = 0 1 119873 minus 1Consider the discrete-time system having be at time 119905 = 119896120591the fast output samples are obtained as [17 19]

yk =[[[[[[

119910 ((119896 minus 1) 120591)119910 ((119896 minus 1) 120591 + Δ)

(19)

Then the rectifier side can be expressed as

x12 (k) = Ar120591x12 (k minus 1) +Br12059112059212 (k minus 1)

y12k = Cr0x12 (k minus 1) +Dr012059212 (k minus 1) (20)

Dr0 =

(21)

And assume thatCr0 andDr0 are invertible through appropri-ate choice (Ar Br Cr) is the system parameter matrix withsampling rate 1Δ 1 Δ 1 = 1205911198731

Define y12k = (1199101((119896minus1)120591)

1199102((119896minus1)120591)

)This means 1199101 is sampled onceand 1199102 is sampled once in each sampling period 120591

The inverter side can be expressed as

x345 (k) = Ai120591x345 (k minus 1) +Bi12059112059234 (k minus 1)

y34k = Ci0x345 (k minus 1) +Di012059234 (k minus 1) (22)

0 s to 15 s At 15 s it steps to minus1 pu and then keeps thisvalue until 30 s At last it steps to 1 pu at 30 s From theexperimental results the referred changes least affect thereactive power on the rectifier side and reactive power onthe inverter side As shown in Figure 6 the change processof119876119903ref is as follows the119876119903ref keeps 0 pu from 0 s to 15 s And

then steps to 01 pu at 15 s The change process of 119876119894ref is as

follows the 119876119894ref keeps 0 pu from 0 s to 25 s And then steps

to minus01 pu at 25 s From the experimental results the referredchanges least affect the active power on the rectifier side andthe active power on the inverter side These can prove thatthe proposed discrete SMC strategy can make the active andreactive power decoupled and independent

5 Conclusions

This paper deduces the discrete mathematical model of VSC-HVDC system by nonlinear input-output feedback lineariza-tion method Based on this the discrete sliding mode robustcontrollers are designed And to ensure the effectiveness ofthe controllers in quasi sliding mode condition the FOS

technology is used in output feedback The results fromsimulation experiment in MATLABSIMULINK prove theeffectiveness of proposed discrete mathematical model andcontrol strategy Since the actual computer control system isdiscrete sampling and SMC has a promising prospect theproposed discrete mathematical model and control strategyhave certain practical application prospect

0 s to 15 s At 15 s it steps to minus1 pu and then keeps thisvalue until 30 s At last it steps to 1 pu at 30 s From theexperimental results the referred changes least affect thereactive power on the rectifier side and reactive power onthe inverter side As shown in Figure 6 the change processof119876119903ref is as follows the119876119903ref keeps 0 pu from 0 s to 15 s And

then steps to 01 pu at 15 s The change process of 119876119894ref is as

follows the 119876119894ref keeps 0 pu from 0 s to 25 s And then steps

to minus01 pu at 25 s From the experimental results the referredchanges least affect the active power on the rectifier side andthe active power on the inverter side These can prove thatthe proposed discrete SMC strategy can make the active andreactive power decoupled and independent
