Estimation of investment model cost parameters for VSC HVDC transmission infrastructure

Analysis and Improving Reliability Indices of VSC-HVDC transmission system tapped by a VSC- station

During the last three decades, reliability analysis of power systems considering transformers, breakers, transmission lines, and generators failure has been widely applied. This analysis has been done especially in the generation and transmission levels and is mainly restricted to high voltage alternating current (HVAC) systems. HVDC transmission systems are becoming increasingly popular when c...

Simulation of Vsc Based Hvdc Transmission System for the Integration of Windfarm into Grid

Wind energy has huge potential to become major source of renewable energy for the modern world. For integrating wind farms to the AC grid, HVDC transmission systems have several advantages over AC transmission systems. This paper presents the design and control of voltage source converter based HVDC system for integration of wind farms in to AC grid. The designed VSC-HVDC system performance und...

Controlled Islanding with Vsc-hvdc Links Acknowledgements

Controlled islanding has been widely discussed in the literature as a novel concept for the power system protection. However, the islanding can result in unbalanced islands where the power mismatch will often cause an instability that can lead either to a subsequent load shedding or generator tripping within the islands. Controlled VSC-HVDC links can mitigate the negative consequences of the co...

A Feedback Linearization Based Control Strategy for VSC-HVDC Transmission Converters

In this paper, a global stability and robust nonlinear controller for VSC-HVDC transmission Converters applying input-output linearization (IOL) techniques is proposed. The feedback linearization based nonlinear differential-geometric techniques is used to cancel nonlinearities and decouple the input control variables. Global tracking capability with zero steady-state error of the voltage loop ...
