“…The line-commutated-converter (LCC)-based high-voltage directcurrent (HVDC) technology has been widely adopted in the world because of its advantages in long-distance large-scale transmission [1,2]. Especially in China, in order to address the problem that power centre and load centre are distributed unequally and regional grids are needed to be interconnected, LCC HVDC transmission system has played an important role in transmitting the power from the power centre to load centre and interconnecting regional grids.…”

“…The disadvantage of the 1PBTBS (one 12-pulse DC circuit) is that if one 6-pulse bridge of 12-pulse DC circuit falls, then the entire system becomes completely lost. The parallel interconnection of two or more 1PBTBSs is used to increase the reliability and capacity of electrical energy exchanging between two AC systems [11], [12]. For example, the Vyborgskaya BTBS project consists of four 1PBTBS units, with each unit rated at 355 MW.…”

Upgrading of the Existing Bi-Pole to the New Four-Pole Back-to-Back HVDC Converter for Greater Reliability and Power Quality

Back-to-back high-voltage direct current systems are used to transfer electrical power between two asynchronous AC systems. The existing bi-pole back-to-back system (2PBTBS) can be converted into the four-pole back-to-back system (4PBTBS) to save in the required infrastructure for proposed installations. This upgrading provides four parallel 12-pulse DC circuits instead of only two 12-pulse DC circuits as in the existing 2PBTBS. The power transfer capability of each DC circuit in the proposed system is 25% of the original system capacity instead of 50% as in the existing 2PBTBS. The reliability of the proposed 4PBTBS is improved twice, and the line-to-line DC voltage levels are reduced to 50% in comparison with the existing 2PBTBS. In this study, the 4PBTBS and existing 2PBTBS are simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation result shows that the proposed 4PBTBS has four parallel 12-pules DC circuits at lower line-toline DC voltage and higher power quality compared with the existing 2PBTBS. These results validate the performance of the proposed system obtained from upgrading the existing 2PBTBS.INDEX TERMS LCC-HVDC transmission, back-to-back HVDC system, reliability, 6-pulse HVDC converter, 12-pulse HVDC converter.

“…The residue method has traditionally been used to tune the POD controller parameters [11]. However, the controller settings obtained are dependent on the operating point of the system, and thus, an optimal tuning across multiple operating conditions is not guaranteed [12].…”

Hybrid HVDC links incorporate both Line Commutated Converters (LCC) and Voltage Source Converters (VSC) systems, thereby gathering the benefits of both technologies. Supplementary Power Oscillation Damping (POD) controllers can be added to both LCCs and VSCs to help enhance the power system stability against disturbances, such as short circuits. However POD controller tuning can be a delicate process, due to the highly non-linear and complex nature of the involved power system, which might induce adverse interactions leading to a reduced damping. This paper proposes the application of the Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA) for tuning the POD controllers parameters, with the purpose of optimizing the performance of POD controllers in the power system. The damping performance is evaluated in case of multiple disturbances in a test power system. The results show the ability of the proposed technique to enhance the performance of the POD controllers under various operating conditions.
