Abstract
The increased use of High-Voltage Direct Current transmission networks requires appropriate control strategies for the converter stations, which are crucial to ensure uninterrupted energy supply. In this paper, a Polytopic Lyapunov Function-based Hybrid switching control strategy is implemented to combine the merits of Grid Following and Grid Forming control strategies by switching alternatively from one to another at the polytopes’ hyperplanes to ensure good system response even for faulty conditions. The state space equations of the control strategies are used to form the state hyperplanes for the switching rule. Since the hybrid switching control is based on the Polytopic Lyapunov Function, the system is inherently Large Signal Stable. The results obtained by real-time-based simulations using RTDS verify the designed control for various transient phenomena.
