HVDC transmission systems are becoming increasingly popular when compared to conventional AC transmission methods. HVDC voltage source converters (VSC) can offer advantages over traditional HVDC current source converter topologies; as such, it is expected that HVDC-VSCs will be further exploited with the growth of HVDC transmission. This paper presents the DC fault ride through capability and n...

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...

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...

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...

Wind farm capacities and transmission distances will be increased significantly in the UK, Round 3 offshore wind farms. This will be a serious challenge when HVDC transmission technologies are considered. The purpose of high temperature superconductor (HTS) cables as the transmission conductor in HVDC transmission system is mainly to reduce the joule losses (IR) arising from the power transmiss...

The modern High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission technology depends on the development of power electronics based on the semiconductor devices. This paper represents a simple model of HVDC transmission system in which the converter and filter have been designed to increase stability of power transmission. The HVDC transmission system has been proposed on the basis of simulation studie...

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...

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...
