Phasor-domain Dynamic Model of Asymmetric Current Injection Controller for Converter-interfaced Generator

This paper presents a controller model of asymmetric current injection for converter-interfaced generators suitable for root-mean-square (RMS) phasor-domain, fundamental-frequency, three-phase, and dynamic simulation tools. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is assessed with simulations in test systems with high percentage of converter-interfaced generation. The simulations focus on the operation of protection relays that use negative-sequence quantities in their directional elements. This paper also presents and compares two strategies to limit reactive negative-sequence currents, and active and reactive positive-sequence currents. A tutorial test system and a regional system part of the actual Brazilian Interconnected Power System are used to assess the correctness of the proposed controller in three-phase fundamental-frequency RMS dynamic simulations.
