  • CONTROL SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING A TCSC IN AN ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION NETWORK, IN PARTICULAR BY AN APPROACH USING SLIDING MODES
    Publication number: 20100292863
    Abstract: A system and method of controlling a TCSC disposed on a high voltage line of an electrical transmission network. The system comprises: (a) a voltage measuring module; (b) a current measuring module; (c) a regulator, working in accordance with a non-linear control law to receive on its input the output signals from the two modules for measuring voltage and current, and a reference voltage corresponding to the fundamental of the voltage which is to obtained across the TCSC; (d) a module for extracting the control angle in accordance with an extraction algorithm; and (e) a module for controlling the thyristors (T1, T2) of the TCSC, and for receiving a zero current reference delivered by a phase-locked loop which gives the position of the current.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 22, 2008
    Publication date: November 18, 2010
    Applicant: AREVA T&D SAS
    Inventors: Abdelkrim Benchaib, Serge Poullain, Yannick Weiler
