Averaged modeling is a commonly used approach used to obtain mathematical representations of VSC-based systems. However, essential characteristics mainly related to the modulation process and the harmonic distortion of the signals are not able to be accurately captured and analyzed. The extended harmonic domain (EHD) has recently been seen as an alternative modeling framework since it allows us to consider the harmonic interaction explicitly. However, there is not a clearly established methodology to derive the EHD models in the presence of power electronic switches. This paper presents a generalized methodology based on the switching instants to obtain large-signal EHD models of VSC-based power systems. Three model order reduction approaches are also proposed to address the increased size of the resulting EHD models. Analytic formulas of three modulation techniques: sinusoidal pulse-width modulation, third harmonic injection pulse-width modulation, and space vector pulse-width modulation are provided to obtain the open-loop large signal EHD models. A performance assessment of the proposed modeling approach in respect to model size, the computational time and the accuracy is presented based on simulations and experimental case studies. The obtained results show that the resulting EHD models are accurate and reliable, while the memory and computation time are improved with the proposed model order reductions. © 2017 IEEE.
