INTRODUCTION As the globl popultion continues to grow, resources re becoming even more stretche.growing popultion nee more ln s well s equte electricl n communiction services n these must be provie in wy tht complies with the enviornmentl regultions. A power system epens on stble n relible control of ctive n rective power to keep its integrity.losing this control my le to system collpse. High Voltge Direct Current trnsmission is n economicl wy for long istnce trnsmission or interconnection of synchronous systems with ifferent fequencies. It is esirble to hve the high power electronics bse systems vilble uring ifferent power system fults. If the protection mesures trip the converter system it tkes severl frction of n hour epening on the size of the converter to ischrge the DC link n check the helthiness of the whole system. Hence severl prcticl methos hve been propose n implemente to keep the system live by suppressing minly the huge currents tht the semiconuctor switches supply uring fult. These fult currents re generte minly ue to inherent ely effect of switching on how the controller observes the isturbnces. In ition the overvoltges tht cn occur uring fult my excee the switching forwr/reverse blocking cpbility. Some of the vluble control structures for VSC bse Bck to Bck HVDC systems hve been propose bse on set of stnr Proportionl Integrl controllers, but DC link voltge control hs been foun s the min ifficulty. The oscilltory nture of the DC link voltge cnnot be vnishe with ny of the controllers. The other rwbck is tht the DC link ynmics will be observble to the lo sie. So these re the mjor rwbcks in HVDC systems uring power isturbnces.two controllers re propose to mp the DC link voltge oscilltions n lso to blnce the lo sie voltges.. VSC MODELING The Voltge Source Converter (VSC) moelling is one to obtin the stte spce eqution with which the controller cn be esigne.the implementtion of VSC in HVDC trnsmission for conversion of three phse AC to DC,permit continous n inepennt control of rel n rective power n lso provie ynmic voltge regultion. The figure below shows the schemtic representtion of voltge source converter moel. Fig. Voltge source converter moel In figure, E bc is the three phse source voltge, L s is the source inuctnce, R s is the source resistnce, V bc is the input voltge to the converter, C DC is the DC link cpcitor, R p is the loss resistor n V DC the c voltge obtine fter rectifiction.

CONTROLLER DESIGN During power system isturbnces the DC link voltge rops, but it shoul be mintine t constnt vlue inorer tht the esire power trnsfer tkes plce through the trnsmission line. The pper iscusses two controllers to mintin DC link voltge t require level. 4 A. Integrtor Fctor Controller(IFC) In IFC we select the input to the moultor in orer to get the esire response, which is to mintin the DC link voltge.firstly the controller is esigne for I q (x ) ynmics. The objective for I q controller is to hve ecouple n isturbnce rejection chrcteristics. This criteri is obtine if its input U hs the form of eqution. The first term in this eqution is responsible for the response time of the stte n the rest is for ecoupling, isturbnce rejection n commn following. 3 U t f X X - e +t X ref 4 4 Seconly the controller is esigne for the first stte vrible X. Here lso the objective is to hve ecouple n isturbnce rejection chrcteristics, however, this stte is controlle to mintin the require ynmics for X 3 lso s X 3 oes not ccess to irect input to control the stte irectly. Hence, the input for X shoul hve the form s in eqution. 3e U t W t f X X - 4 4 To crete n input s well s cncel out the non linerity of x 3 it is ssume X t e t t The vlue of x (t) cn be clculte from the bove equtions s eqution3. 4 f x t x t e t f f 4 4 e e 4w T 3 t The require vlue of new input which cn control the DC link voltge is then clculte s eqution4.

Bck Stepping Controller(BSC) Iqref In BSC control signls re esigne for nonliner systems by recursive technique in which we cn esign feebck controls n fins Lypunov functions for set of n incresingly complex systems, the lst system being of interest.the funmentl of the ie cn be interprete s the locl control of the sttes tht o not ccess to irect input. Here, some sttes re use s pseuo control to stbilize other sttes by introucing some virtul stte vribles representing the ifference between the ctul n virtul control. In this cse the secon stte vrible cn be controlle irectly n so the system reuces to two stte system.

With the implementtion of the controllers IFC n BSC in the system, the istortions in the lo sie is lso effectively reuce. The simultion results proves the effectiveness of the controllers in mintining the DC link voltge n thereby reucing istortions in the lo sie voltge. The effect of both the controllers is ienticl in mintining DC link voltge n lo sie ynmics. 6. CONCLUSION The pper proposes lterntive wys of enhncing the performnce of n HVDC system. The HVDC system is moele n is subjece to fult conitions, the resulting oscilltions in DC link voltge n the effect on lo sie ynmics re mpe with the controllers which is prove by simultion in MATLAB. Thus mintining the DC link voltge, effective trnsmission of rel power is me possible through the HVDC system.it hs been prove nlyticlly tht the implementtion of the propose controllers hs enhnce the performnce of the VSC bse HVDC system when subjecte to power system isturbnces in the inverter sie. 7.
