Smart Grid is much more than IT and smart meters. A SmartGrid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity. This article first gives a background to HVDC Transmission Technology in general, and secondly describes how...

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is proposed for an application of HVDC link to stabilize the frequency oscillation in a parallel AC – DC interconnected power systems. When an interconnected AC power system is subjected to a load disturbance, system frequency may be considerably disturbed and becomes oscillatory. By utilizing the system interconnections as the control channels of HVDC li...

HVDC transmission is more effective and economically cheaper where bulk power is to be transmitted over long distance. Hence the surplus power from a remote place can be exported to the needy place at cheaper rate. The HVDC system require only one transmission wire and the ground return or seawater can be used as an another line. The Lakshadweep Island is located at faraway place from the north...

This paper highlights on the techniques used in the HVDC transmission line protection for the faults occurring at various locations. The different techniques deployed for HVDC protection includes Distance Protection technique, Discrete Fourier Transform technique, Artificial Neural Network technique, Fuzzy logic technique, Wavelet Transform technique, Natural Frequency technique, Independent co...

This paper presents a new application of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link to stabilization of frequency oscillations in a parallel AC-DC interconnected power system. When an interconnected AC power system is subjected to a large load with rapid change, system frequency may be considerably disturbed and becomes oscillatory. By utilizing the system interconnections as the control channels ...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines with line-commutated converter (LCC) are being increasingly employed to transmit bulk wind power over long distance. However, this may cause the sub-synchronous torsional interaction (SSTI) between the wind farms and the LCC-HVDC system. The SSTI characteristics of wind farms with fixed-speed induction generator (FSIG) wind turbines connected to LCC-HVDC...

As an interconnected power system via a High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link is subjected to a rapid load change with the frequency of inter-area oscillation mode, system frequency and tie line power may be severely disturbed and oscillate. To compensate for the rapid load change and stabilize both frequency and tie line power oscillations due to the inter-area mode, the dynamic power flow c...

A possible detrimental effect of onshore series compensation in the GB grid is the appearance of subsynchronous resonance (SSR). In this paper, a control scheme for a VSC-HVDC link capable of damping subsynchronous oscillations is proposed in order to effectively counteract the potential damage caused by SSR in steam turbines. The VSC-HVDC link has been modelled to maintain its primary function...

Real-time simulation of a three-terminal high-voltage directcurrent (HVDC) grid connected to a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind farm has been presented in this paper. A recently invented control strategy, known as powersynchronization control, is applied for the integration of the wind farm to the HVDC grid. The dynamic performance study of the system under normal wind power flu...
