Abstract

Background: High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is a well-proven technology used to transmit electricity over long distances by overhead transmission lines or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect separate power systems, where traditional Alternating Current (AC) connections cannot be used.

Objective: In this paper, an HVDC supply has been proposed with the Tesla coil using hybrid energy sources, such as solar panels, batteries, and AC main supply with an AC-DC converter.

Methods: DC voltage is obtained from various hybrid sources and is supplied to the input of the Cockcroft-Walton (C-W) voltage multiplier circuit through DC/AC inversion.

Results: The produced HVDC is provided to the Tesla coil to obtain a stable HVDC output. Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller is used in the system for control purposes to stabilize the output voltage due to load variations. The model is designed in Matlab / Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the proposed design successfully achieved a stable 15 kV HVDC.

Conclusion: The advantage of the proposed system is the availability of variable output voltage as per load requirement compared to the fixed limited output voltage generated by conventional HVDC systems.

Keywords: High voltage DC Supply, FOPID controller, Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier, Boost converter, Tesla coil, AC .
