1 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you have completed this exercise, you will understand what a thyristor 12- pulse converter is and how it operates. You will learn the advantages of thyristor 12-pulse converters over thyristor 6-pulse converters. DISCUSSION OUTLINE The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points: Waveforms and harmonic contents of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in a thyristor 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye (Y-Y) transformer Introduction to the thyristor 12-pulse converter Waveforms and harmonic contents of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in a thyristor 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-delta (Y- ) transformer Comparison of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in thyristor 6-pulse converters and thyristor 12-pulse converters Monopolar HVDC transmission system implemented with a thyristor 12-pulse converter at each converter station DISCUSSION Waveforms and harmonic contents of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in a thyristor 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye (Y-Y) transformer As you have learned in Exercise 1, the line currents at the ac side of a thyristor three-phase bridge contain harmonics, i.e., sinusoidal current components at frequencies equal to integer multiples of the fundamental frequency (i.e., the ac power network frequency). For example, consider the thyristor 6-pulse converter shown in Figure 74a. This converter contains a thyristor three-phase bridge connected to the ac power network through a wye-wye (Y-Y) transformer. The firing angle of the thyristor three-phase bridge is set to 0 in this example. Figure 74b shows the waveforms of one of the line currents ( ) at the ac side of the converter, the corresponding phase voltage ( ) of the ac power network, and the voltage at the dc side of the converter. As Figure 74b shows, the waveform of line current consists of rectangular pulses. Because of this, harmonics are present in line current. These harmonics are of the following orders: 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, etc., as Figure 74c shows. They are all of positive polarity. Figure 74b also shows that the converter dc voltage contains ripple. This ripple consists of six pulses of equal duration per cycle of the ac power network, hence the name thyristor 6-pulse converter. The voltage ripple frequency is therefore 6 times the ac power network frequency, resulting in harmonic components of the following orders: 6, 12, 18, 24, etc. To summarize, a thyristor 6-pulse converter produces line current harmonics at the ac side and voltage harmonics at the dc side.

3 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Discussion Introduction to the thyristor 12-pulse converter The harmonics present in the line currents at the ac side of a thyristor 6-pulse converter produce undesirable effects in the ac power network, such as overheating due to increased power losses, voltage distortion, and interference. These undesirable effects can be significantly mitigated by using a thyristor 12-pulse converter instead of a thyristor 6-pulse converter, as is explained later in the discussion. Figure 75 shows the diagram of a thyristor 12-pulse converter. This converter consists of two thyristor 6-pulse converters (i.e., two thyristor three-phase bridges): The ac sides of the two thyristor 6-pulse converters are connected to the same ac power network. One converter is connected to the ac power network through a wye-wye (Y-Y) transformer. The other converter is connected to the ac power network through a wye-delta (Y- ) transformer. Both thyristor 6-pulse converters operate with the same firing angle. The turns ratio of each of the two transformers is selected so that the two thyristor 6-pulse converters produce the same dc voltage value to ensure balanced operation of the two converters. The dc sides of the two thyristor 6-pulse converters are connected in series, so that the dc voltage produced by one converter adds to the dc voltage produced by the other converter. Consequently, the voltage at the dc side of the thyristor 12-pulse converter is twice the voltage at the dc side of each thyristor 6-pulse converter.

4 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Discussion Waveforms and harmonic contents of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in a thyristor 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-delta (Y- ) transformer Figure 76 shows a thyristor 6-pulse converter similar to the one described at the beginning of the discussion, except that the thyristor three-phase bridge is connected to the ac power network through a wye-delta (Y- ) transformer (like one of the two 6-pulse converters in a 12-pulse converter) instead of a wyewye (Y-Y) transformer. This causes the voltage at the ac side of the thyristor bridge in this 6-pulse converter to lag the ac power network voltage by 30 (instead of being in phase with the ac power network voltage when a Y-Y transformer is used). The firing angle of the thyristor bridge is also set to 0 in this example. Figure 76b shows the waveforms of one of the line currents ( ) at the ac side of the converter, the corresponding phase voltage ( ) of the ac power network, and the voltage at the dc side of the converter. The line current has a staircase-step waveform. Because of this, harmonics are present in the line current. These harmonics are of the following orders: 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, etc., as Figure 76c shows. These harmonics have the same orders and levels as the harmonics present in the line currents of the 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye transformer. However, the 5 th, 7 th, 17 th, 19 th, 29 th, 31 st, 41 st, and 43 rd harmonics in the line currents of the 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-delta transformer are of negative polarity, while these harmonics are of positive polarity in the case of the line currents of the 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye transformer. Harmonic components of the same order but of opposite polarity represent sine waves (e.g., sinusoidal currents in the present case) having the same frequency but which are 180 out of phase. Figure 76b also shows that the converter dc voltage contains ripple. This ripple consists of six pulses of equal duration per cycle of the ac power network, like the ripple in the dc voltage of a thyristor 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye transformer, thereby resulting in harmonic components of the following orders: 6, 12, 18, 24, etc. The level of the ripple in the dc voltage is the same for both 6-pulse converters. However, the ripple in the dc voltage of the converter connected to a wye-delta transformer is phase shifted by 1/12 of the ac power network cycle (i.e., by 30 ) with respect to the ripple in the dc voltage of the converter connected to a wye-wye transformer. This is due to the fact that the voltage at the ac side of the converter with a wye-delta transformer is phase shifted by 30 with respect to the ac power network voltage. 166 Festo Didactic

6 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Discussion Comparison of the ac-side line currents and dc-side voltage in thyristor 6-pulse converters and thyristor 12-pulse converters Figure 77 shows the waveforms of the line current, ac power network voltage, and converter dc voltage for the two thyristor 6-pulse converters and the thyristor 12-pulse converter seen thus far. The major advantage of using the thyristor 12-pulse converter is that the line current in this converter (Figure 77c), which is the sum of the line currents in each individual 6-pulse converter (Figure 77a and Figure 77b), tends towards a sinusoidal waveform, and thus contains much less harmonics than the line currents in each 6-pulse converter. To illustrate this, Figure 78 shows the harmonics contained in the line current of the two 6-pulse converters and the 12-pulse converter. Figure 78a and Figure 78b show that the 5 th, 7 th, 17 th, 19 th, 29 th, 31 st, 41 st, and 43 rd harmonics in the line currents of the 6-pulse converters are of opposite polarity (i.e., these harmonics are positive for the 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-wye transformer, while they are negative for the 6-pulse converter connected to a wye-delta transformer). Consequently, these harmonics are phase shifted by 180 with respect to each other, so that they cancel each other out in the 12-pulse converter. Therefore, the line current of the 12-pulse converter (Figure 78c) contains only the 11 th, 13 th, 23 rd, 25 th, 35 th, and 37 th harmonics. This is the reason why line current in the 12-pulse converter tends towards a sine wave at the frequency of the fundamental component. In conclusion, using 12-pulse converters instead of 6-pulse converters reduces the harmonics in the ac line currents, and thus greatly helps in mitigating the undesirable effects of ac line current harmonics. Also, since the dc voltages produced by the thyristor 6-pulse converters in Figure 77a and Figure 77b are added together in the thyristor 12-pulse converter (Figure 77c), the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter is twice the dc voltage produced by each separate 6-pulse converter. Therefore, the power transfer efficiency obtained with the 12-pulse converter is higher than that obtained when using either of the 6-pulse converters individually; this is because the amount of power transferred (at any dc line current value) with the 12-pulse converter is twice that transferred with either 6-pulse converter, while the losses remain virtually the same. Furthermore, the ripple in the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter contains 12 pulses per cycle of the ac power network instead of six, and its amplitude is lower than that of the ripple in the 6-pulse converters. This is because the 30 phase shift between the ripple in the dc voltages of the 6-pulse converters causes partial ripple cancellation when the dc voltages are added together in the 12-pulse converter. The lower ripple amplitude and higher ripple frequency of the 12-pulse converter make ripple easier to filter and result in a smoother voltage on the dc transmission line. 168 Festo Didactic

In the HVDC Transmission System Control window, make the following settings: Set the Function parameter to 12-Pulse Converter. This makes the HVDC Transmission System Control operate as a controller for a 12-pulse converter. Set the Firing Angle parameter to 0 by entering 0 in the field next to this parameter or by using the control knob in the lower left corner of the window. This sets the firing angle of 6-pulse converters (bridges 1 and 2) to 0. Make sure that the parameters through are all set to Active. This makes the firing signals of 6-pulse converters 1 and 2 (bridges 1 and 2) dependent on the Firing Angle parameter. Leave the other parameters set to their default values.

Record in Table 7 the order and relative level of each harmonic present in the line current of the 12-pulse converter. a Do not take the low third-harmonic component into account. Table 7. Harmonics present in the line current at the ac side of the 12-pulse converter. Harmonic order Level (% of 1f) Compare the harmonic content of the line current at the ac side of the 12-pulse converter (recorded in Table 7) to the harmonic contents of the line currents at the ac side of 6-pulse converters 1 and 2 (recorded in Table 3 and Table 5, respectively). Record and explain your observations. 184 Festo Didactic
23 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Procedure 28. Note and record the value of the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the line current at the ac side of the 12-pulse converter. THD of the line current at the ac side of the 12-pulse converter % Compare the THD of the line current for the 12-pulse converter (recorded above) to the THDs of the line currents for 6-pulse converters 1 and 2 (recorded in step 13 and 18, respectively). Does this confirm that the waveform of the line currents at the ac side of the 12-pulse converter is closer to a sine wave at the frequency of the fundamental component than the waveforms of the line currents at the ac side of the 6-pulse converters? Explain. From your observations, explain the major advantage of using thyristor 12-pulse converters instead of thyristor 6-pulse converters. 29. On the Oscilloscope, observe the waveform of the voltage at the dc side of the 12-pulse converter. Describe this waveform with respect to the waveform of the source voltage. Note and record the value of the dc voltage produced by the 12-pulse converter. DC voltage produced by the 12-pulse converter V Is the dc voltage produced by the 12-pulse converter (recorded above) twice the dc voltage produced by each separate 6-pulse converter (recorded in steps 14 and 19)? Explain. Festo Didactic
24 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Procedure Explain why the power transfer efficiency obtained with the 12-pulse converter is higher than that obtained when using either of the 6-pulse converters individually. 30. Compare the frequency and amplitude of the ripple in the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter to those of the ripple in the dc voltage of either of the two 6-pulse converters. Are they the same? Why? 31. On the Harmonic Analyzer, display the harmonic content of the voltage (input E2) at the dc side of the 12-pulse converter. Set the scale type so that the vertical axis of the analyzer is graduated in percentage of the dc component. Set the vertical axis graduations to 1%/div. Record in Table 8 the order and relative level of each harmonic present in the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter. a Low second and fourth harmonics are present in the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter. Do not take them into account. Table 8. Harmonics present in the dc voltage of the 12-pulse converter. Harmonic order Level (% of DC) Compare the harmonic content of the dc voltage produced by the 12-pulse converter (recorded in Table 8) to the harmonic contents of the dc voltages produced by 6-pulse converters 1 and 2 (recorded in Table 4 and Table 6, respectively). Record your observations and explain. 186 Festo Didactic
25 Exercise 5 Harmonic Reduction using Thyristor 12-Pulse Converters Conclusion 32. From your observations, explain why thyristor 12-pulse converters provide a smoother voltage on dc transmission lines than thyristor 6-pulse converters. 33. On the Power Supply, turn the three-phase ac power source off by setting the main power switch to the O (off) position. Turn the 24 V ac power source of the Power Supply off. Close the LVDAC-EMS software. Disconnect all leads and return them to their storage location. CONCLUSION In this exercise, you learned that using a thyristor 12-pulse converter instead of a thyristor 6-pulse converter greatly helps in mitigating the undesirable effects of ac line harmonics. This is because the waveform of the line currents in a thyristor 12-pulse converter is closer to a sine wave at the frequency of the ac power network, and thus contains much less harmonics than the line currents in a thyristor 6-pulse converter. Also, you learned that the power transfer efficiency obtained with a thyristor 12-pulse converter is higher than that obtained when using either of the two 6-pulse converters individually; this is because the amount of power transferred with the 12-pulse converter for any value of the dc line current is twice that transferred with either 6-pulse converter, while the losses remain virtually the same. Furthermore, the lower ripple amplitude and higher ripple frequency of the 12-pulse converter makes ripple easier to filter and results in a smoother voltage on the dc transmission line.
