Abstract:
It provides a control system for LCC of an HVDC system and a control method therefor. The control system includes: a first measurement unit (20) being configured to provide a current magnitude measurement indicative of a magnitude of DC current of the HVDC system; and a controller (21) being configured to increase a first extinction angle at which the controlled LCC operates to a second extinction angle in response to that the current magnitude measurement exceeds a current reference level in order to avoid commutation failure of the controlled LCC. By using the solutions according to the HVDC system with increase of extinction angle of the LCC, it is possible to decrease the probability of commutation failures caused by a rapid rise of the DC current of the HVDC system. The overall AC and DC power system reliability and stability is improved.
