As one of the key technologies of large scale access of distributed energy resources, the HVDC transmission system has great potential for further development. Therefore, in the past decades, the problem associated with HVDC converters connected to weak AC networks has become an important research field. The one of particular interest, and highest in consequences, is the AC voltage stability at...

Wind power development is booming globally, and large scale onshore wind power is under development in China, the Americas and India. Compared with AC transmission, HVDC technology can due to lower losses be attractive if the distance from generation to consumption is long. VSC (Voltage Source Converter) HVDC is rapidly maturing as a technology, and offers some significant advantages compared t...

Today’s power systems are large networks of electrical energy sources and load components, connected over long distances mainly through alternating current (AC) transmission and distribution grids. This basic structure currently undergoes significant changes to ensure the stability, availability and sustainability of the future electrical energy infrastructure. As a result, power system operati...

It is now clear that the installation of offshore wind parks is the next step towards an even more widespread use of wind power. In what concerns the interconnection of remote offshore wind parks to the existing onshore grid, for distances over 50 km and/or installed capacities above 100 MW, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology seems to be more adequate than High Voltage Alternating Cu...

Line Current Commutated (LCC) HVDC systems consists of uncertain plants. These uncertainties are result of changes/disturbances in the ac networks or in the LCC HVDC system itself. Further uncertainties can be introduced due to simplified system modelling techniques. Quantitative Feedback Theory is a frequency-domain technique that utilises the Nichols chart to achieve a robust design over a sp...

The interaction mechanism between AC and DC systems in a hybrid AC-DC transmission grid is discussed with PSS/E software. Analysis shows that receiving-end AC faults may cause much more damage on the HVDC system operation than the sending-end AC faults in a multi-infeed HVDC system, and the damage severity depends on the power recovering rate of the HVDC systems. For HVDC systems with slow powe...

There is a growing interest in applications of HVDC grids in many parts of the world. Comparing with individual HVDC links, HVDC grids can provide flexible energy transfers among multiple converter stations, improved system reliability, and reduced investment cost, etc. In particular, an offshore HVDC grid will allow the aggregation and delivery of power from offshore wind farms in different re...

Transmitting power at high voltage and in DC form instead of AC is a new technology proven to be economic and simple in operation which is HVDC transmission. The HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances by overhead transmission lines or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect separate power systems. A further development in this...

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...
