The following subchapters explain in more detail the different control functions and the parameters of each function.
9.1 Active power control
The active power control, shown in Figure 9, provides the active power setting PCMD as the combination of the primary regulation response, the inertial response and the active power value supplied by the PV panels. This last value is affected by the active power reduction order and it is limited by a ramp.

Figure 9. Block diagram of P-f control
9.1.1 Primary frequency control
The primary frequency control provides the plant response for frequency deviations greater than a deadband. For small frequency deviations, the plant response is proportional to the frequency deviation, based on a droop characteristic. For large frequency deviations, the plant responses with a step. The power response is limited by a maximum and a minimum limit and the rate of change of the response is limited by a ramp.
The block diagram and the frequency response characteristics are shown in Figures 10 and 11. The parameters of the control are detailed in Table 10.

9.1.3 Power reduction and ramp limit
The model allows decreasing the power output by means of the application of a power reduction order, as represented in Figure 13. The power reduction order is applied in p.u. For example, if the order is 0.2 p.u., the power is reduced to 20% of the actual active power produced by the PV Panel (Ppv).
The step change produced by the power reduction order, and also the changes in the output of the PV Panel, are limited by a ramp that fixes a maximum rate of change of active power per time unit. After a voltage dip, the ramp output can be reseted. If this is done the plant output after the dip will ramp up from 0 to its predisturbance value. The parameters of the function are detailed in Table 12.

9.1.4 Limitation of the response of the active power control
The total active power setting is obtained as the sum of the power input plus the terms corresponding to primary, inertial and power reduction responses. This value is finally limited according to the PV panel power output limits, as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Block diagram of the limitation of the response of the active power control
9.2 Reactive power control
The reactive power control system provides the reactive power command reference QCMD (Figure 15). The value of the reactive power supplied to the grid can be controlled by:
Mode 1: fixed reactive power output (Qref)
Mode 2: fixed power factor (QPF)
Mode 3: reactive power control by the power output (QP)
Mode 4: voltage control (QV)
The control mode can be selected by specifying the appropriate value of the parameter Qmode (Q Mode Selector).

INGETEAM DATE: 19/02/13 PAGE: 18 OF 39
9.2.1 Fixed reactive power
The reactive power command reference is constant and equal to the reactive power reference setting (Qref). The value of this variable is set by the user with a “Parameter Event”.
9.2.2 7.2.2. Fixed power factor
The reactive power command reference (QPF) is controled according to the active power output of the plant to keep the power factor at its reference value (Figure 16). The refence is set by the user using a “Parameter Event”.
Figure 16. Block diagram of the reactive power control by a fixed power factor
9.2.3 7.2.3. Reactive power control by the power output
With this control, the reactive power command reference (QP) is determined as the sum of the reactive power reference (Qref) and a reactive power variation proportional to the variation of the active power output from a reference value, as shown in Figures 17 and 18.

9.2.5 Limitation of the response of the reactive power control
The reactive power command calculated by any of the four control functions, as selected by the user, is limited according to the voltage at the control bus. This function calculates the maximum and minimum reactive power limits according to the values contained in a parameter table, defined by the user, and limits the rate of change with a ramp. The block diagram is shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21. Block diagram of the reactive power limits management
The table is defined by 3 voltage points, each with a value of Qmax and Qmin. The first point has to be the upper voltage level (point 1), the second one the nominal voltage level (point 2) and the third one the lower voltage level (point 3). Intermediate values are calculated using linear interpolation.

The converter module slot ouputs the active and reactive current references for the static generator slot.
The network element in the composite model of the PV Plant has to be a DSL common model (class ElmDsl) defined with the DSL Block Definition named “BlkDef Converter Module”. This model calculates the active and reactive current references from the active and reactive power commands, in normal operation mode, of from an internal function in case of perturbed operation. Also, the module trips the plant in case of out of limits operation.

The following subchapters explain in more detail the different functions and the parameters of each function.
10.1 Current commands in normal operation mode
The active and reactive current commands in normal operation mode are determined from the active and reactive power commands, after a first order delay, and the voltage measured at the control bus. The block diagram is shown in Figure 23 and the function parameters are detailed in Table 17.

Table 17. Parameters of the current commands
10.2 Fault detection logic and converter operational limits
This function of the power converter module monitors the frequency and the grid voltage. In case of over/under voltage, the block activates a flag (VDFlag) and changes the operation of the converter from normal operation to VFRT (Voltage Fault Ride Through) control.
If the voltage remains out of limits for a time greater than the limits parameterized, the function activates a trip signal (Trip_Vmax or Trip_Vmin). Similarly, in case frequency out of limit operation, the function activates a trip signal (Trip_fmax or Trip_fmin). The activation of any of the four trip signals activates a general trip signal (Trip) that is used to disconnect the plant from the grid.
Figure 24 shows the function block and Figure 25 a detailed diagram. The voltage limits are defined by two curves, one for the maximum limits and another one for the minimum limits. Each curve is defined by 3 time-voltage points ordered by increasing time and decreasing voltage, for the maximum limit curve, and increasing voltage for the minimum limit curve. The definition of the frequency limits is done in a similar way.
The function detects when the voltage and or the frequency is out of limits, registers the time associated with the event, calculates the corresponding maximum and minimum limit, and activates the corresponding trip signal when the limits are exceeded. The user can access all these variables by their corresponding name, indicated in Table 16.
Figure 24. Fault detection logic & converter operational function

INGETEAM DATE: 19/02/13 PAGE: 25 OF 39
Figure 25. Fault detection logic & converter operational limits operation diagram
The voltage disturbance detection signal (VDFlag) activates the internal Sample & Hold block and changes the state of the input selectors of Figure 26 to change the behavior of the converter from PQ control to VFRT control.
After the voltage disturbance disappears, when the voltage is withing normal operation limits, the Reset signal is activated and a timer starts. When the time is equal to the voltage recovery time (parameter VRtime), the signal VDFlag deactivates and the converter returns to normal PQ control.

10.2.1 Switch and Out of Service Events
When the fault detection function detects a voltage and/or frequency out of limit operation, it activates the Trip signal, changing its value from 0 to 1. This change is used to call five predefined events that the user must have created in the DSL common model of the converter. If these events are not created, the Trip condition will be signaled but the plant will remain connected to the network. The events have to be defined as indicated in Table 19.

Table 19. Events of the Converter DSL Common Model
Only the first event is mandatory to disconnect the plant from the grid. The other four are optional, if they are created, all the signals of the DSL common models will go to zero if the plant is tripped. All the events are activated 20 ms after they are called.
For example, if a composite model named “PV Plant” is defined as indicated in Figure 27, in the DSL common model of the converter, named “Plant Converter”, the user has to create the events as indicated in Figure 28.

10.3 Converter current limits
The current injected by the converter is limited according to the converter maximum current rating. This function calculates the active and reactive current limits, depending on the value of the PQpriority parameter, and limits the current commands. The function block diagram is shown in Figure 30, and the function parameters are detailed in Table 20.

10.4 High/Low Voltage Fault Ride Through operation mode
This function controls the behavior of the converter in case of a high or low voltage condition in the grid. Figure 31 shows the function block and Figure 32 a detailed diagram.
Figure 31. VFRT function block diagram
Figure 32. LVFRT management block diagram
The magnitude of the current injection depends on the grid voltage. For the reactive component, the user has to define a 7 V-Iq point table. This table has to be ordered according to the numbering indicated in Figure 32. The function calculates the reactive current command using linear interpolation. For the active component, the user has to define a 3 V-Id point table. This table has to be ordered by increasing values of voltage and increasing values of current, as indicated in Figure 32. The function calculates the active current command using linear interpolation.
