This letter assesses the impact of cyber-attacks on control system modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based high-voltage dc (MMC-HVdc) transmission technology. Specifically, small-signal model MMC-HVdc is characterized by a closed-loop matrix and distance to instability then quantified structured pseudospectrum. Furthermore, vertical search method proposed quantify boundary The quantification w...

In this paper, investigation is carried out for the improvement of power system stability by utilizing auxiliary controls for controlling HVDC power flow. The current controller model and the line dynamics are considered in the stability analysis. Transient stability analysis is done on a multi-machine system, where, a fuzzy logic controller is developed to improve the stability of the power sy...

A conventional steady-state power flow security check only implements point-by-point assessment, which cannot provide a security margin for system operation. The concept of a steady-state security region is proposed to effectively tackle this problem. Considering that the commissioning of the increasing number of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) and the fluctuation of renewable energy have si...

This paper presents the integration of the Voltage Source Converted-High Voltage Direct Current model| (VSCHVDC) into a conventional Optimal Power Flow (OPF) formulation. The assembled VSC-HVDC-OPF model is computationally implemented and solved by using the Matlab ® optimization toolbox. In this sense, the development complexity degree of the proposed implementation is equivalent to that requi...

There is an increasing amount of wind farms that need to be connected to the AC transmission network. Offshore wind farms will be connected to the ac system via long submarine cables. Integration of offshore wind farms with HVDC transmission based on Voltage Source Converters (VSC), such as HVDC Light, is an advantage due to regulating properties of HVDC Light. The purpose with the Tjæreborg pr...

Modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission networks integrate remotely located distributed renewable energy resources (RER). The intermittent nature of RER and symmetrical asymmetrical AC-side low-voltage faults produce operational difficulties. It reduces the MMC’s ability to transfer rated power, which raises HVDC link. Therefore, MMC-HVDC network...

The intent of this research is to do studies on these HVDC lines and to determine if they improve dynamic performance. In attempting to do so, tools such as PSS/E and a MATLAB based tool, PSAT, will be used to construct multiterminal HVDC models on an IEEE 9-bus system and an IEEE 14-bus system. While studying the IEEE 9-bus system, a comparison will be done to see whether using HVDC lines will...

Deregulation and privatization as well as the increase use of renewable energy are posing new challenges on high voltage transmission systems. Environmental constraints, such as energy saving, loss minimization and CO2 reduction, will also play an important role. The loading of existing power systems will further increase, leading to bottlenecks and reliability problems. High voltage power elec...
