The Supplementary Damping Method for CLCC HVDC Based on Projective Control Theory

This paper proposes a design method for an additional damping reduced-order controller based on the projective control theorem. Improvements are made to the projective theorem to achieve additional damping control through Controllable-Line-Commutated Converter (CLCC)-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), which suppresses low-frequency oscillations. Using small disturbance identification techniques, the system’s linear model is first identified, and the state feedback control law of the system is then determined using the state-space pole assignment control method. Then, by retaining the dominant oscillation modes of the closed-loop system through the improved projective theorem, the state feedback is converted into output feedback. Ultimately, the sixth-order state feedback controller is reduced to a second-order one and applied in the CLCC HVDC additional damping strategy to suppress low-frequency oscillations. Simulation results based on the electromagnetic transient simulation software PSCAD demonstrate that the designed CLCC HVDC additional damping reduced-order projective control exhibits good suppression performance, strong robustness, and low order, which are of significant importance for engineering practice.
