Abstract: - In this paper, a global stability and robust nonlinear controller for VSC-HVDC transmission
Converters applying input-output linearization (IOL) techniques is proposed. The feedback linearization based
nonlinear differential-geometric techniques is used to cancel nonlinearities and decouple the input control
variables. Global tracking capability with zero steady-state error of the voltage loop has been achieved by
zero-dynamic control. Also, there is no derivative calculation required and measurement of load current is not
needed. The proposed controller is of many advantages compared with the traditional control strategies, such as
global stability, fast dc-bus voltage response, robust against parameter uncertainties and decoupled dynamical
d-q current loops. Comprehensive time-domain computer simulations within MATLAB/SIMULINK have been
carried out to confirm the proposed control scheme.

1 Introduction
Three-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM)
voltage-source converters (VSC)-HVDC link using
the state-of-the-art power electronic devices, such as
insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), have
motivated increasing attentions and studies in recent
years [1] [2]. As compared to traditional converters,
the PWM-VSC has the attractive features such as
almost sinusoidal input currents, controllable input
power factor, constant dc-bus voltage and
bidirectional power flow ability with separately
control of active and reactive power [3] [4]. All these
features make VSC-HVDC systems suitable for
connecting renewable sources to the main grid,
especially on offshore wind farms [5-7].
Many research have been done from the control
point of view[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14], most of
those results relay on either using small-signal
stability or linearized models with compensation.
Their performances will retain under certain
conditions such as limited operation range and large
dc-bus capacitance [15]. Certainly, it is difficult to
achieve ideal control effects with linear control
theories for the multivariable control inputs and
highly coupled nonlinearity of the VSC-HVDC. By
dint of its structure, nonlinear control theories based
on the input-output linearization (IOL) have been
developed over recent years and achieved
considerable successes [16] [17] [18]. The main
achievement of this nonlinear control technique was
the decoupling and linearization of the synchronous
d-q axes dynamics in VSC. However, its involved
mathematical intricateness has somehow constrained
the widespread usage of this technique.
Notwithstanding, thanks to the development of
floating point based digital-signal-processor (DSP)
and advanced control strategies, upon which IOL
with nonlinear differential-geometric techniques [19]
[20] have been one of the most essential tools for
nonlinear system control. The major merit of these

techniques is that one can find a global feedback law
to linearize and decouple multi-input multi-output
(MIMO) nonlinear system where regular linear
design methods can be applied [21] [22].
This paper presents thence a nonlinear
mathematical model of the VSC-HVDC transmission
converters in the synchronous reference frame and its
controller using IOL technique developed from
differential-geometric theory, thus expanding the
usage of this particular technique. Also, it is shown
that the global tracking capability with zero
steady-state error of the voltage loop can be achieved.
For physical realization of the PI outer-loop control,
the suitable parameters of PI controller are derived.
In this paper, several computer simulations with
MATLAB

/SIMULINK

are carried out and results

are presented to test the robustness of the designed
controller.


2 Mathematical modeling of the
VSC-HVDC transmission converters
Usually, two VSC stations constitute a typical
VSC-HVDC system. For one station on the offshore
wind farm side operates as the rectifier station
whereas the onshore main grid side operates as the
inverter station. The topologies of the stations are
symmetry, so the power circuit of one station (take
rectifier station for example) is shown in Fig. 1. It is
assumed that the VSC operates under a balanced
three phase ac source, and resistive load
L
R is
connected to the output terminal and neglected the
resistance of the power switches. So the dynamic
equations of the PWM VSC in the rotating d-q frame
can be expressed as follows [8] [18] [23] [24] :

Equations (1)-(3) and the state-space functions
both show the nonlinear nature of the VSC systems,
for the control input u multiplied by the state
variables. The coupling between the components on
axis d and axis q of the current sets an initial problem
in constructing a system controller. Usually,
controller is based on the principle of cascade
regulation. The internal loop imposes sinusoidal
shape of the line currents and the external loop
maintains the capacitive voltage

3 Feedback linearization
A brief theoretical background of feedback
linearization is herein presented before presenting the
derivation of control schemes, whose detailed
description can be found in [16] [17] [19]. Consider
the following multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
nonlinear system

( ) ( ) x f x G x u = + (4)
( ) y h x = (5)
where x is an 1 n state vector, y is
1 m output vector, ( ) f x and ( ) h x are n
th
-order
smooth vector fields, ( ) G x is an n m matrix of
smooth vector field columns
i
g , and u is the
1 m control input vector. An approach to obtain the
IOL of the MIMO system is to differentiate the
output y of the system until the inputs appear. The
smallest number of derivatives required for that
i

is called the relative degree of that particular output.

where u is a dummy input vector. Substituting

With (13) one can stabilize the error dynamic by
setting suitable linear state feedback. On the other
hand, the equilibrium stability of the zero dynamics
(15) determines the equilibrium stability of the
transformed system (13), (14) under IOL laws (10),
(12) [19]. When the zero dynamics is asymptotically
stable, the nonlinear system is minimum-phase [16].


4 IOL and current inner-loop control
of the PWM VSC
The feedback linearization is particularly useful
in power electronics to track the nonlinear problem,
where a nonlinear process is transformed into a linear
one by forcing the output to follow the input in a
closed-loop fashion. According to the
aforementioned theory of IOL, we will derive the
cascaded current control scheme here. Meanwhile,
the dc-bus voltage of the VSC can be controlled by
choosing two different dummy output variable [22].
Specialized to the two-input two-output
nonlinear state equations characterizing the PWM
VSCwe can substitute equations (1-3) into (4)
with 3 n = , 2 m = to get

In actual control scheme the initial dc-bus voltage is

achieve the desired dc-bus reference voltage

shown in Fig. 2, in which the VSC model is
linearized and removed the cross-coupling between d

exist in the power circuit and temperature / aging

especially the load disturbance may lead to zero

the out-loop controller should be devised to regulate
the dc-bus voltage.
With reference to (25), we can setup an observer

For a two-terminal VSC transmission system, as
depicted in Fig. 6, normally one converter controls
the DC voltage, namely the DC voltage controller
(DCVC), and the other controls the active power,
namely the active power controller (APC). The
DCVC can operate as a rectier or an inverter and
the same applies to the APC, which are independent
of the power transfer direction. Fig. 7 shows
steady-state waveforms of the DCVC and APC with

In Fig. 9, smaller overshoot and fast
stabilization can be achieved under IOL control,
compared to the traditional PI control. Fig. 10 shows
when the setting point of the dc-bus voltage changes,
between 0.4s~0.7s, the simulation model can track
the new reference fast. The d-axis current

changes at the beginning and the end of the voltage
reference change, meanwhile the q-axis current only
have negligible changes in the transient responses for
some other uncertainty perturbations in the system. It
can be shown the feature of current decoupling, and
fast dc-bus voltage tracking property.
Fig. 11 shows the dynamic of the transmission
active power step changes at 0.4s. Fig. 11 (a) and (b)
show the dc-link voltage and current transient of the
active power step change. With the proposed zero
dynamic controller on the outer-loop, the influence to
the dc-bus voltage is slight. And with a fast current
tracking ability in the inner current loop, the d-axis
current are regulated to the new setting point.
Fig. 12 is the situation of power flow reverse
suddenly at 0.4s, where the DCVC and APC working
conditions (inverting or rectifying) interchange with
each other. The waveform of the dc-bus voltage and
current, d, q axis currents, line voltage and current
under a sudden change in the active power from
0.5pu to -0.5pu are shown in Fig. 12 (a)-(d)

Finally, Fig. 13 shows the responses of
three-phase to ground fault in the onshore main gird
side between 0.4s~0.5s. During an AC fault, the
active power exchanged between the converter and
the faulty AC system may be signicantly reduced
owing to the reduced AC voltage and the converter
current limit. If the fault is on the AC side of the
APC, the delivered power is automatically reduced
when the converter reaches its current limit and the
DCVC controls the DC voltage by properly reducing
the power exchange between the converter and the
connected AC system [24] .

and the coupling effect the d-q current control were
eliminated by proposed IOL control scheme. By
devising the zero dynamics observer in the
outer-loop dc-bus voltage controller, the fast zero
tracking errors were made, even in the presence of
parameter perturbation. The active and reactive
power can be independently controlled under unity
power factor. Simulations verified the validity and
effective of the proposed control scheme which used
in VSC-HVDC transmission system. These results
show the satisfactory performance of the proposed
IOL controller in comparison to the traditional PI
controller. Also, the results in this paper can further
be an effective scheme in the hardware design of
digital control system based on floating point DSP
devices.
