Adaptive Phase Locked Loops for VSC connected to weak ac systems

The performance of the High voltage dc systems is dependent on the stiffness of the ac bus, it is connected to. With the traditional synchronous reference frame-phase locked loops (SRF-PLL), voltage source converters (VSC) systems with large PLL gains, connected to weak ac networks are shown to be prone to instabilities, when subject to disturbances.
In this thesis a new Adaptive PLL is designed with a pre-filter topology which extracts the fundamental positive sequence component of the input voltage, to be fed into the SRF-PLL for tracking of its phase angle. Compared with other traditional PLL topologies, this Adaptive PLL shows superior immunity to voltage distortions, and also has a faster dynamic performance.
The thesis presents a comparative analysis of the performance of the traditional SRF-PLL with the Adaptive PLL in a VSC control system, and its impact on stability for VSCs connected to weak ac systems (up to SCR=1.3).
