An Analysis on the VSC-HVDC Contribution for the Static Voltage Stability Margin and Effective Short Circuit Ratio Enhancement in Hybrid Multi-Infeed HVDC Systems
Abstract:Over the years, high voltage transmission of large energy blocks over long distances has widely developed from the Line Commutated Converter (LCC) technology. However, the continuous expansion of the AC network and the increase in renewable energy penetration leads to the weakening of Electric Power Systems (EPS), causing operational problems for the LCC-HVDC. This paper evaluates the degree of contribution of the VSC-HVDC on the LCC-HVDC dynamic performance when the infeed is in a hybrid multi-infeed HVDC sys… Show more
“…With the construction of VSC-HVDC projects, the situation gradually increases that VSC-HVDC is fed into the original MIDC system, and then a hybrid multiinfeed high voltage direct current system (HMIDC) is formed. The receiving-end power grid will show new operating characteristics due to the complex interactions among multiple inverters of different types [8][9][10]. The research on the interaction of multiple inverters in MIDC and HMIDC is of great significance for the planning and operation of the receiving-end power grid.…”
Voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) can participate in voltage regulation by flexible control to help maintain the voltage stability of the power grid. In order to quantitatively evaluate its influence on the voltage interaction between VSC-HVDC and line commutated converter based high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC), this paper proposes a hybrid multi-infeed interaction factor (HMIIF) calculation method considering the voltage regulation control characteristics of VSC-HVDC. Firstly, for a hybrid multi-infeed high voltage direct current system, an additional equivalent operating admittance matrix is constructed to characterize HVDC equipment characteristics under small disturbance. Secondly, based on the characteristic curve between the reactive power and the voltage of a certain VSC-HVDC project, the additional equivalent operating admittance of VSC-HVDC is derived. The additional equivalent operating admittance matrix calculation method is proposed. Thirdly, the equivalent bus impedance matrix is obtained by modifying the alternating current (AC) system admittance matrix with the additional equivalent operating admittance matrix. On this basis, the HMIIF calculation method based on the equivalent bus impedance ratio is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in a hybrid dual-infeed high voltage direct current system constructed in Power Systems Computer Aided Design (PSCAD), and the influence of voltage regulation control on HMIIF is analyzed.

“…Due to the low operating frequency and short transmission distance, the wavelength of the voltage is so small that it can be ignored. For the network with high frequency and long lines [10][11], such as high voltage direct current and half-wavelength AC transmission, the wavelength of the voltage accounts for a large proportion of the length of the transmission line [12][13][14]. Equivalent LPMs of these systems have significant errors.…”
This paper proposes a determination method of the cascaded number for lumped parameter models (LPMs) of the transmission lines. The LPM is used to simulate long-distance transmission lines, and the cascaded number significantly impacts the simulation results. Currently, there is a lack of a system-level determination method of the cascaded number for LPMs. Based on the theoretical analysis and eigenvalue decomposition of network matrix, this paper discusses the error in resonance characteristics between distributed parameter model and LPMs. Moreover, it is deduced that optimal cascaded numbers of the cascaded π-type and T-type LPMs are the same, and the Г-type LPM has a lowest analog accuracy. The principle that the maximum simulation frequency is less than the first resonance frequency of each segment is presented. According to the principle, optimal cascaded numbers of cascaded π-type, T-type, and Г-type LPMs are obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed determination method is verified by simulation.
