Summary
In traditional high‐voltage direct current systems, alternating current system faults can lead to commutation failures, which may further induce the blocking of converters. After the faults are cleared, the fast recovery of commutating voltage, as one key factor to avoid converter blocks, is closely related to dynamic voltage support. The dynamic voltage behaviour considering the reactive power characteristic of converters is analysed, where the polynomial approximation is applied to facilitate our studies. Focusing on the synchronous compensator, the transient voltage support ability is analysed, and then the steady state output of synchronous compensators is regarded as a parameter to take parametric analysis. Case studies show that the steady state VAR output of synchronous compensators has influence on the countering of commutation failures, and an optimal allocation can be found by analysing the results in the form of polynomials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
