Although the demand for electricity has been increasing these days, it becomes more difficult to find new sites for large-scale power generation plants near urban areas due to environmental and economic issues. Therefore, new power plants are forced off to rural or desolate coastal areas. As a result, there is significant regional imbalance in power generation and consumption between urban and rural areas in South Korea. This paper investigates the feasibility of high-voltage DC (HVDC) system as a candidate for electric power transmission system from east-coastal sites to metropolitan area. To this end, this paper analyzes transient stability and dynamic impact of a HVDC transmission system and compares the results to conventional high-voltage AC (HVAC) transmission systems via PSS/E simulation. This paper also examines the effect of HVDC system to voltage variation and low-frequency resonance in the neighboring buses in the grid using ESCR(Effective Short Circuit Ratio)과 UIF(Unit Interaction Factor) indices.

Offshore wind farms extend a distance from an onshore grid to increase their generating power, but long distance and high power transmissions raise a lot of cost challenges. LFAC (Low Frequency AC) transmission is a new promising technology in high power and low cost power transmission fields against HVDC (High Voltage DC) and HVAC (High Voltage AC) transmissions. This paper presents an economic comparison of LFAC and HVDC transmissions for large offshore wind farms. The economic assessments of two different transmission technologies are analyzed and compared in terms of wind farm capacities (600 MW and 900 MW) and distances (from 25 km to 100 km) from the onshore grid. Based on this comparison, the economic feasibility of LFAC is verified as a most economical solution for remote offshore wind farms.

This paper deals with the blocking of DC-fault current during DC cable short-circuit conditions in HVDC (High-Voltage DC) transmission systems utilizing Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs), where a new SubModule (SM) topology circuit for the MMC is proposed. In this SM circuit, an additional Insulated-Gate Bipolar Translator (IGBT) is required to be connected at the output terminal of a conventional SM with a half-bridge structure, hereafter referred to as HBSM, where the anti-parallel diodes of additional IGBTs are used to block current from the grid to the DC-link side. Compared with the existing MMCs based on full-bridge (FB) SMs, the hybrid topologies of HBSM and FBSM, and the clamp-double SMs, the proposed topology offers a lower cost and lower power loss while the fault current blocking capability in the DC short-circuit conditions is still provided. The effectiveness of the proposed topology has been validated by simulation results obtained from a 300-kV 300-MW HVDC transmission system and experimental results from a down-scaled HVDC system in the laboratory.

The application of the AC and DC lines on the same transmission tower is an economical and practical approaching that increase the power transmission capacity of an existing transmission corridor. But, In this case, Inductive and capacitive coupling between AC and DC lines on the same tower should be investigated in advance. According to the installation plan of 80kV ${\pm}$60MW bipole HVDC in Cheju, KOREA that will be commissioned until 2011, DC lines will parallely operate with 154kV 2 AC lines in existed 154kV AC 4 lines transmission tower. This paper presents the steady state analysis results about the interaction between 154kV AC and 80kV DC lines in the same transmission tower.

개폐서지는 전력시스템에서 발생하는 과전압 현상 중의 하나이며 변전소의 차단기 등 개폐장치의 동작이나 송전선로의 고장으로 인해 발생한다. 특히 송전선로의 절연설계를 위하여 개폐서지의 피크를 산정하는 것은 매우 중요하고 AC/DC 병가선로의 안정적인 운영을 위한 절연협조의 기본적인 검토항목이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 AC/DC 병가구조의 전력시스템에 대한 상정해석을 위하여 AC 765kV와 DC ±500kV Bi-Pole 시스템이 조합된 송전선로를 대상으로 하였다. 일반적으로 교류 송전시스템의 절연설계를 위한 비정상적인 과전압은 외부과전압으로 낙뢰에 의한 과전압과 내부과전압으로 개폐에 의한 과전압을 고려한다. 직류 송전시스템의 경우에는 개폐에 의한 과전압 보다 송전선로의 중간에서 지락고장이 발생하면 인접한 정상선로에 유기되는 내부과전압을 개폐서지라하며 직류송전선로에 유기되는 가장 큰 일시적인 과전압을 의미한다. 본 논문의 연구목적으로 구성된 선로에 대하여 EMTDC 소프트웨어를 사용하여 모의하였으며, 다양한 AC/DC 혼합 형태에 대한 개폐과전압의 영향을 검토하였다.

The Voltage Source Converter (VSC) is replacing the conventional line commutated current source converters in High Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission systems. The control of a two-level voltage source converter and its design dealt with HVDC systems and various factors such as reactive power, power factor, and harmonics distortion are discussed in detail. Simulation results are given for the two-level converter and designed control is used for bidirectional power flow. The harmonics minimization is taken by extending the 6-pulse VSC to multipulse voltage source converters. The control is also tested and simulated for a 12-pulse voltage source converter to minimize the harmonic distortion in AC currents.
