Abstract:

Voltage source converter based power systems have the ability to rapidly control the transmitted active power and also to independently exchange reactive power with transmission system. Thus, VSC with suitable control scheme can offer an alternative means to enhance transient stability, to improve power oscillation damping, and to provide voltage support. The proposed voltage sourced converter (VSC) with pulse width modulation (PWM) provides a faster control that is required in power system. VSCs are one of the most used power converters in distributed generator application as such it can operate either as inverter or as rectifier. The study of VSC and related principles as well as PWM method for controlling the power switches is carried out. MOSFET/IGBT can be invariably used as switches. The simulation of VSC is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK and PROTEUS. The results of which shows improvement in performance of transmission lines.
