    The document discusses constant current control for high voltage DC transmission systems. It describes how a constant current controller works by (i) measuring the system current, (ii) comparing it to a reference current, and (iii) adjusting the firing angle α to reduce any difference between the measured and reference currents. For a rectifier, the firing angle is increased if the measured current is higher to decrease the rectifier voltage. For an inverter, the firing angle is also increased if the measured current is higher, which has the effect of decreasing the inverter voltage due to the negative relationship between firing angle and voltage. This allows the same constant current controller design to be used for both rectification and inversion.

    HIGH VOLTAGE d.c.

    TRANSMISSION 119

    (i) The above expression of Id holds good only for 3-phase symmetrical voltages. A shunt
    fault say a line to line fault will not only reduce the commutating voltage but also
    increase or decrease the available commutation angle as shown in Fig. 5.16.
    (ii) In case of a dip in voltage on the a.c. side, the rate of change of current Id may be very
    large despite the fact that large smoothing reactors have been incorporated in the
    system.
    The constant extinction angle controller consists of a separate computer for each group
    of thyristors connected to the same phase. This is desired as the voltage of different phases
    become unbalanced during an asymmetrical fault.
    Each computer continuously computes and provides an output signal when the correct
    instant for firing a thyristor has arrived for safe commutation. The computer has to monitor
    the following quantities:
    (i) The amplitude of the commutating voltage which is the voltage between two phases,
    the phase on which the conducting thyristor is connected and the phase on which the
    next thyristor to fire is connected. This voltage is responsible for circulating commu-
    tating current when the two thyristors are conducting simultaneously.
    (ii) The phase of the commutating voltage.
    (iii) The magnitude of the direct current.
    (iv) The rate of change of the direct current.

    5.9 CONSTANT CURRENT CONTROL

    Constant Current Controller performs the following operations:


    (i) Measures the system current Id.
    (ii) Compares it with a reference current Ids.
    (iii) Computes (Ids Id) and amplifies the error signal (Ids Id).
    (iv) The output error signal controls in case of rectifier and in case of inverter in
    proper direction to reduce the error.
    If the measured current is more than the reference, must be increased in case of
    rectifier to decrease the open circuit voltage of the rectifier. The difference between the open
    circuit voltage of the rectifier and the inverter is thereby decreased and the current Id is
    decreased proportionally.
    However, in case of an inverter, if the measured current is more than the reference
    current, the open circuit voltage of the inverter must be increased instead of being decreased
    as in a rectifier in order to decrease the difference of the open circuit voltages. This refers,
    however, to the absolute value of the inverter voltage. If we consider the inverter voltage to be
    negative, which is usual if the same converter sometimes rectifies and at other times inverts,
    the algebraic value of inverter voltage must be decreased as in a rectifier and to accomplish
    this, must be increased, as in a rectifier. The graph cos vs in the range 0 is
    monotonic where the algebraic value of cos increases with decrease in i.e., the algebraic
    value of open circuit voltage Vo cos increases with decrease in . This means that the same
    constant current controller can be used for a given converter without change of connections
    during both rectification and inversion.
