Modeling and Control of Generation System for DC Grid Applications

Abstract

This chapters covers the modeling and control of the ac/dc generation systems which would be implemented in the dc grids. The current and voltage source based ac/dc conversion systems with fixed frequency ac input from the stiff ac grid have been considered for HVDC applications. In addition to the HVDC systems, generation systems for marine and aerospace power systems are also considered. In such applications, the generators are operated at variable speed for improved fuel efficiency. The operation of voltage source converter operated with such variable frequency ac input has also been described in detail.
