This paper presents a HVDC site selection algorithm to increase transfer capability using VSC HVDC system which can control active power as well as reactive power. Using normal powerflow results and simple index $k_r$ the HVDC site selection algorithm is enhanced and more tightly-coupled transmission lines are identified in a domain of generators.

This paper proposes the installation of a new modular multilevel converter based high-voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system to connect between mainland and Jeju island power systems in Korea in 2020. The purpose is to combine with two old line-commutated converters (LCC)-based HVDC system to achieve a stability of the Jeju island power system. The operation of the overall system will be analyzed in three cases: (i) wind speed is variable, (ii) either one of the LCC-HVDC systems is shutdown because of a fault or overhaul, (iii) a short circuit fault occurs at the mainland side. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is confirmed by the simulation results based on a PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.

본 논문은 HVDC System의 컨버터를 구성하는 Thyristor 밸브의 스위칭동작을 테스트하는 합성시험회로의 기본동작을 분석한 내용에 대해 기술하고 있다. 합성시험회로(STC : Synthetic Test Circuit)는 HVDC System의 컨버터가 동작할 때 각 Thyristor 밸브에 나타나는 턴-온 전류와 턴-오프 전압을 인위적으로 공급하여 정상동작 여부를 시험할 수 있는 모의실험회로를 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 PSCAD 프로그램을 이용하여 2kV, 200A급 Thyristor를 테스트하기 위한 합성시험회로의 시뮬레이션 모형을 개발하고 그 동작을 분석하였다. 개발한 합성시험회로의 시뮬레이션 모델은 향후 IEEE와 IEC 규정에 만족하는 새로운 합성시험회로를 개발하는데 참고 자료로 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

When two adjacent AC systems operate at different frequency such as 50Hz and 60Hz, as in the case of ROK and Russia, the only way to practically obtain the advantages of power system interconnection is to use HVDC connection. In this paper, application of the VSC-HVDC transmission for power system interconnection between Russia and ROK is evaluated through the PSCAD/EMTDC modeling and analysis. The simulation results show the feasibility of proposed system for cross border power system interconnection.

This paper describes the feasibility study of HVDC system application to KEPCO power system for increasing power transfer capability or the flexibility of power delivery from one area to the other using the existing transmission line. This paper assumes the 345kV transmission line connecting between Shinokchun and Sedaegu to be converted to the DC line by replacing the AC insulator with that of DC. Then, the HVDC bipole system of 1000MVA with $\pm300kV$ is designed and the contingency studies are carried out.

The load on the power grid of South Korea is expected to grow continuously until the late 2020s, and it is necessary to increase the transfer capacity from the Eastern grid to the Seoul-Gyeonggi region by reinforcing the transmission network for the electric power system to remain stable. To this end, the grid reinforcement by two bipole LCC HVDC transmission systems have been considered on account of the public acceptability and high growth of the fault current level, even though an additional 765kV system construction is more economical. Since the probability of the existing 765kV double circuit transmission line trip is extremely low, a dynamic simulation study was carried out to estimate the efficient HVDC capacity able to stabilize the transient stability by utilizing the HVDC overload capability. This paper suggests the application plan to reduce the HVDC construction capacity with ensuring the transient stability during the 765kV line trip.

This paper focuses on the engineering trade-offs in designing capacitor voltage balancing schemes for modular multilevel converters (MMC) HVDC: regulation performance and switching loss. MMC is driven by the on/off switch operation of numerous submodules and the key design concern is balancing submodule capacitor voltages minimizing switching transition among submodules because it represents the voltage regulation performance and system loss. This paper first introduces the state-of-the-art MMC-HVDC submodule capacitor voltage balancing methods reported in the literatures and discusses the trade-offs in designing these methods for HVDC application. This paper further proposes a submodule capacitor balancing scheme exploiting a control signal to flexibly interchange between the on-state and the off-state submodules. The proposed scheme enables desired performance-based voltage regulation and avoids unnecessary switching transitions among submodules, consequently reducing the switching loss. The flexibility and controllability particularly fit in high-level MMC HVDC applications where the aforementioned design trade-offs become more crucial. Simulation studies for MMC HVDC are performed to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed capacitor voltage balancing algorithm.

Power system stabilizer act efficiently to damp the electromechanical oscillations in interconnected power systems. This paper presents an algorithm for the optimal parameter selection of a power system stabilizer in two-area power systems with a series HVDC link. This method is one of the classical techniques by allocating properly pole-zero positions to fit as closely as desired the ideal phase lead between the voltage reference and the generator electrical power and by changing the gain to produce a necessary damping torque over the matched frequency range. Control of HVDC converter and inverter are used a constant current loop. Proper parameters of PI controllers are obtain based on the Root-locus technique in other to have sufficient speed and stability margin to cope with charging reference values and disturbance. The small signal stability arid transient stability studies using the PSS parameters obtained from this method show that a natural oscillation frequency of the studycase system is adequately damped. Also the simulation results using the HVDC converter and inverter parameters obtained from this proposed method show proper current control characteristics. The simulation used in the paper was performed by the Power System Toolbox software program based on MATLAB.

Modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based high-voltage direct current (HVDC) presents attractive technical advantages and contributes to enhanced system operation and reduced oscillation damping in dynamic MMC-HVDC systems. We propose an advanced small-signal multi-terminal MMC-HVDC based on dynamic phasors and state space for power system stability analysis to enhance computational accuracy and reduce simulation time. In accordance with active and passive network control strategies for multi-terminal MMC-HVDC, the matchable small-signal stability models containing high harmonics and dynamics of internal variables are conducted, and a related theoretical derivation is carried out. The proposed advanced small-signal model is then compared with electromagnetic-transient and traditional small-signal state-space models by adopting a typical multi-terminal MMC-HVDC network with offshore wind generation. Simulation indicates that the advanced small-signal model can successfully follow the electromechanical transient response with small errors and can predict the damped oscillations. The validity and applicability of the proposed model are effectively confirmed.
