Definitions
- the present invention concerns an apparatus and a method for controlling the power flow in an ac transmission system. More precisely the invention concerns a control apparatus comprising a phase shifting transformer (PST).
- PST phase shifting transformer
- a phase shifting transformer should in this context be understood to include a single cored as well as a multiple cored transformer, both of which may comprise a symmetric or an asymmetric design.
- the phase shifting transformer may also comprise additional voltage regulating means.
- a phase shifting transformer (PST) is previously known for controlling the power flow in an ac transmission line.
- PST comprises a tap changer that serially connects or disconnects additional windings of the transformer. By doing so the phasor orientation is controlled. Power is then moved from adjacent phases to a single phase by connections between windings excited by different parts of the magnetic circuit. In a pure phase shifting transformer a voltage in quadrature to the source voltage is injected to the line.
- a phase shifting transformer may be used to control the distribution load between parallel lines to increase total power transfer.
- Advantageous is the capability of the phase shifting transformers to block parasitic power flow due to phase angle difference in a feeding network. Power may be distributed to customer in a defined way and circulating power flows may be avoided.
- PST PST
- SSR subsynchronous resonance
- the use of a PST offers a slow control speed.
- the tap changer has to go through every tap position in a sequential manner. Each tap change is effected in the order of 3-5 seconds.
- the PST cannot participate in a decisive way in a transient period following a power disturbance. Further frequent tap changing, in particular at high current conditions, increases the need for maintenance.
- the tap changer is a mechanical device and thus slow and an object to mechanical wear. It has a maximum regulation voltage range of 150 kV and the maximum number of operating steps is less than 35.
- the maximum tap voltage is in the order of 4000 - 5000V between two tap positions and the maximum rated throughput current is about 3000 - 4500 A.
- the maximum power handling capacity is 6000 - 8000kVA/tap and there is a short circuit thermal limit. Small voltage steps results in a greater number of mechanical operations.
- CSC controlled series compensator
- Such CSC comprises one or a plurality of thyristor switched inductive devices.
- the CSC may also comprise one or a plurality of thyristor switched capacitive devices, often in combination with an inductor.
- the capacitive device or the inductive device is connected in a parallel branch with a thyristor switch.
- the phasor orientation is controlled by connecting or disconnecting a desired number or combination of inductances or capacitances. The regulation is rapid since there is no mechanical switching device involved.
- a CSC is controllable from full inductive to full capacitive regulation, and vice versa, within a few fundamental frequency cycles and is thus capable of being a powerful control device in a transient period following a power disturbance.
- the need for maintenance of the thyristor controlled CSC does not increase as a consequence of frequent control actions.
- a CSC is therefore suitable for closed loop control.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a power flow control of an ac power transmission that is rapid and that does not involve the drawbacks of the single use of either a PST or a CSC.
- a PST containing a tap changer, a CSC containing at controllable reactance means, and a control unit that controls both the PST and the CSC are combined to form a control apparatus for controlling the power flow in a high voltage network.
- the power flow is controlled by firstly regulating the CSC and secondly regulating the PST by the tap changer.
- the control is effected solely by the CSC device and in a second period of time the control is effected by a combined regulation of both the CSC device and the PST.
- the controllable reactance means of the CSC comprises a thyristor switched capacitor function.
- the controllable reactance means of the CSC comprises a thyristor switched inductor function.
- the controllable reactance means of the CSC comprises a combination of switched capacitive means and inductive means.
- a control apparatus comprising a PST including a tap changer, a CSC including a controllable reactance means, and a control system containing computer means including a processor for controlling the PST and the CSC in coordination.
- the CSC contains a controllable capacitive means.
- the capacitive means comprises a plurality of controllable capacitive units, each comprising a capacitor in parallel connection with a thyristor switch.
- the CSC contains a controllable inductive means.
- controllable inductive means comprises a plurality of inductive units, each comprising an inductor in a parallel connection with a thyristor switch.
- CSC comprises a combination of controllable capacitive means and inductive means.
- the capacitive unit comprises an inductor in series with the thyristor switch. This inductor serves as a switching improvement and its presence is for switching purposes only.
- the control system comprises in a further embodiment a communication unit by which the control is supervised, controlled or overridden by an operator or a customer.
- the objects are achieved by a method for controlling the power flow in an ac transmission line, the method comprising a first step in which the new load demand is rapidly regulated by the CSC and a second step in which a combined regulation of both the PST and the CSC is evaluated.
- a further step an internal regulation of a favorable working point for both the PST and the CSC is accomplished by regulating the PST in coordination with the CSC such that the external control is unaffected.
- the PST which is regulated in sequential steps by the tap changer is according to the invention combined with a CSC which is regulated by thyristor switches, to provide a fast and adaptive control of the power flow by a common control system.
- the slow control capability of the PST is compensated for by the rapid control of the CSC.
- the PST is thus dynamically assisted by the CSC when regulating.
- This dynamically assisted PST 7 in the following text denoted DAPST comprises a standard tap changer controlled phase-shifting transformer combined with thyristor switched inductive and/or capacitive reactance circuits. Each such circuit may comprise a plurality of inductive and capacitive circuits which may be connected in steps.
- the dynamic assistance of the PST reduces the number of control actions made by the tap changer, which dramatically increases the life time cycle of the tap changer.
- the required rating of a power flow controller is divided into two parts, one part consisting of the PST and the other part consisting of the CSC containing thyristor switched reactance circuits.
- the possibility to coordinate the control of the CSC and the PST offers the rating of both units to be smaller than in circuits where each unit works alone.
- a single PST regulating unit would have to have a large rating and a single CSC unit would have to have an increased number of reactance circuits.
- the combination will obtain an overall improvement of the performance as compared to both the PST and the thyristor switched reactance steps only.

- Fig 13 is an apparatus combined with shunt compensation means
- Fig 14 is a conceptual control scheme of the apparatus.
- the apparatus comprises a tap changer controlled phase shifting transformer (PST) 1, a controlled series compensator (CSC) 2 and a control unit 3.
- the CSC comprises a first reactance unit 5 that includes a capacitive unit 8 and a thyristor switch 7 for connecting and disconnecting the capacitive unit.
- the first reactance unit 5 further comprises an inductive unit 9 in series with the thyristor switch 7.
- the inductive unit 9 only serves the function of improving the switching performance of the first reactance unit.
- the CSC 2 further comprises a second reactance unit 4 that includes an inductive unit 6 and a thyristor switch 7 for connecting and disconnecting the inductive unit.
- the single capacitive and inductive reactance units are shown by way of example. It lies within the scope of the invention to combine any number of capacitive and inductive steps.
- the controlled series compensation device may comprise a plurality of both capacitive and inductive circuits.
- the CSC may be realized in different configurations.
- the CSC comprises switchable capacitive units by which the CSC is controllable in discrete steps.
- the CSC comprises a combination of capacitive and inductive units and thus being controllable in discrete steps.
- the CSC comprises a plurality of boostable capacitive steps and a plurality of inductive step that offers the CSC to be continuously controllable.
- the CSC comprises only capacitive units. Assuming that the two capacitive steps are thyristor switched and that
- the control of the power flow by the PST is accomplished through control of the tap-changer. Since this is a mechanic device and the control has to be done in sequential steps this control is slow. For the CSC each of the four positions in Fig 2 may be assumed rapidly.
- the CSC comprises a plurality of both capacitive and inductive units.
- the discrete controlling capability is illustrated in the following way. Assume that both the two capacitive steps and the inductive step are thyristor switched (i.e. no boosting which produces harmonics), and that
- the CSC parts have thus a capacitive and inductive control range divided into discrete steps as illustrated in the fig 3.
- the CSC comprise a plurality of inductive units and a plurality of capacitor units that are continuously controllable (boostable). Assume that the capacitive units are boostable such that they are continuous controllable between
- the CSC parts are thus continuous controllable in the range illustrated in fig 4.
- the control resolution of the apparatus according to the invention (the combined effect of tap changer and CSC control action) is in this embodiment made infinite over a large portion of the combined control range.
- means for reactive power shunt compensation is included such that the reactive power balance of the DAPST may be customized to meet the particular power system requirements.
- These means include devices such as for instance circuit breaker connected capacitor banks and reactors, static var compensators (SVC) and STATCOM.
- the network comprises a DAPST according to the invention in a parallel connection with an equivalent reactance between a first node 14 and a second node 15.
- the purpose of a DAPST is to control the distribution of power between on one hand the path in which it is installed and on the other hand parallel paths.
- the parallel paths are in fig 5 represented by the equivalent inductive reactance X eq connected in parallel to the DAPST. By controlling the series voltage Vsene s the distribution of power flow can be controlled.
- the bold faced quantities in fig 5 represent phasors (with both a magnitude and a phase). Currents are represented with I and voltages with V.
- the operating range may be described in a diagram as indicated in fig 6, where the current through the DAPST is on the x-axis and the series voltage is on the y-axis.
- the left half plane corresponds to current (power) flowing from the second node 15 to the first node 14 (called import) and the right half plane corresponds to current (power) flowing from the first node to the second node (called export).
- the first and third quadrant correspond to a reduction of the magnitude of the current (power) whereas the second and fourth correspond to an increase of the magnitude of the current (power).
- a DAPST comprising a PST 1 and a CSC 2 comprising a plurality of switched units of which two are capacitive units 5a, 5b and one is an inductive unit 4 as indicated in fig 7.
- Such DASPT configuration may be operated in a purely Controllable Series Compensator (CSC) mode with the Phase-Shifting Transformer (PST) at zero tap position. This implies that only the short circuit reactance of the PST contributes to the series voltage.
- CSC Controllable Series Compensator
- Fig 8 illustrates the operating range in purely CSC mode. Along the bypass line all CSC steps are thyristor by-passed. The slope of the line depends on the short circuit reactance of the PST.
- the magnitude of the voltage across the CSC decreases (if the sum of the PST short circuit reactance and the controllable reactance is inductive) or increases (if the sum of the PST short circuit reactance and the controllable reactance is capacitive), and the current through the DAPST increases by switching in capacitive steps.
- the operating point will thus move along lines parallel to the arrows in Fig 8 (the slopes of the arrows will depend on the size ofz e? ) towards the line corresponding to maximum capacitance.
- the CSC will typically be dimensioned such that operation is only allowed for series voltages across the individual steps below limits that are predetermined.
- the voltage across the CSC is increased and the current through the DAPST is reduced by switching in inductive steps.
- the operating point will thus move along lines parallel to the arrows in Fig 8 towards the line corresponding to maximum inductance.
- the series voltage will decrease if the current decreases further.
- the CSC is quite powerless as hardly any series voltage can be provided even if very large capacitive or inductive steps were available.
- the DAPST may be operated in a pure PST mode.
- the operating range may then look as indicated in Fig 9.
- the zero tap line is the same as the by-pass line in fig 8, i.e. its slope depends on the short circuit reactance of the PST.
- the series voltage increases in the positive direction when the tap-changer is moved towards the most positive position and the magnitude of the series voltage increases in the negative direction when the tap-changer is moved towards the most negative position.
- this PST has the ability to both decrease the power flow (first and third quadrant operation) and increase the power flow (second and fourth quadrant operation) as compared to the zero tap line.
- the PST has a substantial capability to control the power flow also at low current conditions.
- Fig 10 illustrates the DAPST steady state control range when both the PST and the CSC ranges are combined.
- the operating range is extended in the second and fourth quadrants (corresponding to an increase of power flow) as compared to the pure PST mode.
- the operating range is in a similar fashion extended in the first and third quadrants (corresponding to reduction of power) as compared to the pure PST mode.
- dynamic operating range it is meant the part of the operating range that can be controlled fast enough to mitigate the consequences of electro-mechanical transients in a power system.
- the thyristor controlled CSC easily can change operating point from maximum capacitive to minimum capacitive (or maximum inductive if inductive steps are available) and vice versa within a fraction of a second, it is well suited for contributing to e.g. damping of power oscillations originating from electro-mechanical oscillations in synchronous machines (generators).
- the PST on the other hand, where each step takes in the order of five seconds and each step must be sequentially passed, is too slow to actively contribute in the transient period.
- the dynamic part of the operating range of he DAPST corresponds to the CSC part.
- a control apparatus comprising a PST 1, a CSC 2 and a control unit 3 and further comprising a shunt compensation means 25 is shown in fig 13.
- a shunt compensation means may comprise a capacitor bank and a circuit breaker.
- the DAPST When including capacitive shunt compensation into the control apparatus the DAPST may be given characteristics very similar to a controllable series capacitor, also in terms of reactive power balance, without the risk of e.g. sub-synchronous resonance. However, by controlling the tap-changer in the pre-disturbance situation the over-all characteristics of the DAPST can be changed.
- Fig 8 gives the dynamic range with the PST in zero tap position.
- Fig 11 the PST is in the maximum tap position. It can be noted that in the import situation (negative throughput currents), the DAPST has the whole dynamic range in the second quadrant, i.e. both capacitive and inductive steps provides fast control in the over-all increase situation. Of course a similar feature can be achieved in the export situation by setting the PST in e.g. the minimum tap position, as indicated in fig 12.
- the main control objectives i.e. the reasons for installing a control apparatus, which may be denoted a dynamically controllable phase shift transformer (DAPST), include one or several of the following;
- Slow/quasi-steady state power flow control is the slow control of the distribution of power between on one hand the transmission path in which the DAPST is installed and on the other hand parallel paths.
- the control speed requirements for meeting this objective are low enough to be satisfied by both the PST and the CSC parts.
- Power oscillation damping is the fast control of the DAPST to mitigate power oscillations typically following a disturbance in the power system.
- the frequency of these oscillations are typically in the range of 0.1 -2.0 Hz and depends to a large extent on the inertia constants of the synchronous machines (typically generators) or groups of machines participating in the oscillation.
- the control speed requirement to meet this objective can only be satisfied by the CSC part of the DAPST.
- the character of the transmission interconnection on which the DAPST is installed can be changed.
- the total reactance of the interconnection In its most capacitive position the total reactance of the interconnection is at its minimum resulting in an increased power transfer over the interconnection and a reduced power transfer over parallel paths.
- the total reactance of the transmission interconnection In its most inductive position (or least capacitive) the total reactance of the transmission interconnection is at its maximum resulting in a reduced power transfer over the interconnection and an increased power transfer over parallel paths.
- the disturbed part of the system experiencing e.g. stability problems can quickly be relieved of power transfer whereas an intact part of the system picks up the power transfer.
- the transient performance of the overall inter ⁇ connected system can thus be significantly improved.
- the PST part is too slow to act within this time frame however its pre-disturbance operating point will affect the overall character of the DAPST and thus the transmission interconnection.
- the DAPST By controlling the DAPST at high current conditions such that the CSC part primarily acts first to reduce the current and then the PST part acts primarily at lower current conditions, the stresses on the tap- changer are relieved and the need for maintenance is reduced.
- the number of tap-changer operations can be reduced. This is accomplished as changes in loading with short duration are handled by the CSC part and the PST part only acts on changes of longer duration.
- the PST part consumes reactive power due to its short circuit reactance, which only has a small variation due to tap-changer position as compared to the CSC which reactance has a substantially larger variation due to its nature.
- the CSC may as a consequence produce or consume a considerable amount of reactive power if all capacitive or inductive steps are switched in. As almost the whole operating range can be reached with different mixes of PST and CSC control action the overall consumption or production of reactive power can be affected.
- the power system for some reason is weak in terms of voltage support, i.e. the voltages are low it is advantageous to produce reactive power or at least limit the overall consumption of reactive power of the DAPST.
- the desired series voltage can be achieved through the combined action of capacitive CSC steps and PST, as much CSC action and as little PST action is advantageous.
- the desired series voltage only can be achieved through the combination of inductive CSC steps (if available) and PST action, as much PST action and as little CSC action is advantageous.
- the voltages are high it is advantageous to consume reactive power or at least limit the overall production of reactive power of the DAPST.
- the opposite control strategy is to be preferred, i.e.
- the desired series voltage can be achieved through the combined action of inductive CSC (if available) and PST, as much CSC action and as little PST action is advantageous. If the desired series voltage only can be achieved through the combination of capacitive CSC steps and PST action, as much PST action and as little CSC action is advantageous. In addition it is possible to control the over all reactive power balance if means for reactive power shunt compensation is added to the DAPST as mention above.
- Yet another advantageous control objective is the control of dynamic range at low current conditions.
- the control range of the CSC part becomes small and even zero.
- the PST part By controlling the PST part such that there almost always is a minimum line current available, a minimum dynamic range is consequently also almost always available.
- a control scheme of a DASPT for controlling the power flow according to the invention is shown in fig 14.
- the DAPST comprises a PST and a CSC arranged on a power transmission line 10, a first closed loop 11 and a second closed loop 12.
- the first closed loop comprises a sensor 13 for sensing the power flow on the line 10 between a first node 14 and a second node 15.
- the first loop comprises a first comparator 16, a PI (Proportional-Integrate) controller 17 and a second comparator 18.
- the measured active power flow, P'" is compared with a set value,P m ' , corresponding to the desired active power flow.
- a difference signal is sent to a PI controller with limits.
- the Pi-controller creates a signal proportional to the required reactance which is sent to the thyristor control of the CSC, which by these means is controlled to satisfy the set value of active power flow.
- the discrete nature of the CSC will in most situations result in a control error which is handled through dead-bands (not indicated in the drawing).
- a supplementary signal for Power Oscillation Damping may be added after the PI controller such that fast electro-mechanical power oscillations can be mitigated by CSC action.
- POD Power Oscillation Damping
- the second closed loop for controlling the PST comprises a low pass filter 19, a comparator 20 and a Pi-controller 21.
- the signal proportional to the required reactance is sent through the low-pass filter 19 for comparison to a set value of the reactance, 3c .
- the low- pass filter will block variations of in x of short duration.
- the difference between the actual value of x and the desired value x is sent to a PI controller with limits which creates a signal proportional to the desired tap, t , which is sent to the tap-changer control.
- Reactive power balance control can be realized in at least two ways. By changing the set value x the reactive power balance can be controlled, and by introducing reactive power limits in the first Pi-controller limiter it can be limited.
- Control of the dynamic range at low current conditions can be accomplished by control of the set value P ss> .
- a limit p se , ,timit ⁇ p sei a m j n jmum magnitude of the line current, and thus a minimum control range, can be realized in steady state.
- Other control schemes can of course also be used to meet the control objectives.
- the transmission line between the PST and the SCS must not be short as indicated in the accompanied figures but comprise any length as only the PST and the CSC is serially connected.
- the closed loop arrangement in fig 14 must not be fully closed. Thus it may under certain conditions be favorable for an operator or a customer to choose a desirable working point by direct adjustment of the tap changer of the PST. According to the invention the apparatus would automatically respond to such a forced control of the PST by adjusting the CSC correspondingly.
