Abstract

This paper proposes a novel technique to tune the PI controllers of a bidirectional HVDC light system by embedding particle swarm optimization directly in the Simulink model in the design procedure. The HVDC light system comprises of a rectifier station, a DC link, and an inverter station. Each converter station requires four PI controllers to be tuned in the decoupled d-q vector control scheme, and with the bidirectional HVDC system, the required PI controllers are doubled. Tuning these many controllers using conventional methods is a challenging task, especially if the parameters of the converter stations are different. A novel approach to tune the PI controllers for a bidirectional HVDC system using the time-domain performance indices is presented in this paper. The time-domain performance indices are optimized using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The results of the proposed tuning method show that the proposed method not only gives superior results but also is less cumbersome to tune compared to conventional methods like modulus optimum (MO).
