It is very important to study the overvoltage protection and insulation coordination of the converter stations for the ±800kV UHVDC transmission project because of its importance in the power grid. The paper studies two kinds of arrester arrangements of the converter stations in the Nuozhadu to Guangdong ±800kV UHVDC power transmission project by using the PSCAD/EMTDC program. The simulation results show that the protective level of arresters is different, while the insulation levels of critical equipments in the converter station are almost the same under these two arrester arrangement schemes.
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.
