This work aims to tune multiple controllers at the same time for a HVDC system by using a self-generated (SG) simulation-based optimization technique. Online optimization is a powerful tool to improve performance of the system. Proportion integral (PI) controllers of Multi-infeed HVDC systems are optimized by the evaluation of objective functions in time simulation design (TSD). Model based simulation setup is applied for rapid selection of optimal PI control parameters, designed in PSCAD software. A multiple objective function (OF), i.e. Integral absolute error (IAE), integral square error (ISE), integral time absolute error (ITAE), integral time square error (ITSE), and integral square time error (ISTE), is assembled for testing the compatibility of OFs with nonlinear self-generated simplex algorithm (SS-SA). Improved control parameters are achieved after multiple iterations. All OFs generate optimum responses and their results are compared with each other by their minimized numerical values. Disturbance rejection criteria are also proposed to assess the designed controller performance along with robustness of system. Results are displayed in form of graphs and tables in this paper.
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo la sintonización de múltiples controladores al mismo tiempo para el sistema HVDC utilizando la técnica de optimización basada en la simulación autogenerada (SG). La optimización en línea es una herramienta poderosa para mejorar el rendimiento del sistema. El control integral de proporciones (PI) del sistema HVDC de alimentación múltiple se optimiza mediante la evaluación de la función objetivo en el diseño de simulación en tiempo (TSD). La configuración de simulación basada en el modelo se aplicó para la selección rápida de los parámetros de control PI óptimos, diseñados en el software PSCAD. La función de objetivo múltiple (OF), es decir, error absoluto integral (IAE), error cuadrado integral (ISE), error absoluto de tiempo integral (ITAE), error de cuadrado de tiempo integral (ITSE) y error de tiempo cuadrado integral (ISTE), se ensambla para probar la compatibilidad de OFs con algoritmo simplex autogenerado no lineal (SS-SA). Se logran parámetros de control mejorados después de múltiples iteraciones. Todos los OF generan respuestas óptimas y sus resultados se comparan entre sí por sus valores numéricos minimizados. Los criterios de rechazo de perturbaciones también se proponen para evaluar el rendimiento del controlador diseñado junto con la solidez del sistema. Los resultados se muestran en forma de gráficos y tablas en este documento.
