Wind energy is created in mega-sized wind farms situated kilometers off shore. In fact, two possibilities are considered for the transmission system between the offshore wind farm and the onshore grid: high-voltage direct current and high-voltage alternating current. From this point of view, the current paper aims to compare both systems for a 2 GW wind farm situated 80 km from the Point of Common Coupling on an economic basis using a discounted cash flow analysis. A tool is developed in Microsoft Excel to allow for quick insight in the variation of input parameters.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) 시스템은 무효전력의 독립적인 제어가 가능하여 계통의 안정적인 연계가 가능하다. 또한, 멀티 터미널 DC grid 구성이 가능해 다수의 계통을 통합 연계할 수 있는 장점이 있다. HVDC 시스템은 단위 유닛인 서브모듈로 구성된 MMC(Modular Multi-level Converter) 구조를 갖으며 밸브 단위로 시스템이 구성된다. VSC(Voltage Source Converter) 밸브는 IEC 62501 기반의 규격을 바탕으로 하드웨어 설계의 건전성과 성능을 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 (주)효성이 개발중인 200MW 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터 밸브 단위의 성능과 설계의 건전성을 확인하기 위해 밸브단위 운전시험 회로를 구성하였으며, 운전 시험 결과를 분석하였다.

High Voltage Direct Current(HVDC) System용 AC 필터는 특정 고조파 영역에서 낮은 임피던스를 제공하여 AC 계통으로 유입되는 고조파를 억제시킴과 동시에 무효전력의 공급원으로서의 역할도 수행한다. 대부분의 전류형 HVDC System은 12개의 Pulse로 동작하기 때문에 $12n{\pm}1$차의 특성고조파를 발생시키는데 HVDC System에서는 이러한 특성고조파들을 저감시키기 위한 Harmonic AC Filter가 주로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 HVDC System용 AC 필터를 설계할 때 고조파 저감을 고려한 다목적 최적화 알고리즘을 제시함으로써, 향후 시스템의 안전성과 효율성 측면에서 기여할 수 있는 실제 HVDC System용 AC 필터 설계 적용에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The researchers worldwide have been trying to apply high temperature superconducting wire for power system devices. High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system has been used for bulk and long-distance power transmission. The authors designed a laboratory-scale superconducting DC transmission line to investigate its applicability to an HVDC system. The superconducting DC transmission line was simulated in connection to a laboratory-scale HVDC system using PSCAD/EMTDC. The operating characteristics of the superconducting DC transmission line connected to HVDC system and the effects of the superconducting DC transmission line on HVDC system were analyzed and compared with the results of a conventional DC transmission line. The results of operating characteristics for the superconducting DC transmission line were discussed in detail.

A proportional intergral (PI) control strategy is commonly used for constant current and extinction angle control in a HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system. A PI control strategy is based on a stactic design where the gains of a PI controller are fixed. Since the response of a HVDC plant dynamically changes with variations in the operation point a PI controller performance is far from optimum. The contribution of this paper is the presentation of the design of a rough set based, fuzzy adaptive control scheme. Experimental results that compare the performance of the adaptive control and PI control schemes are also given.

This study proposes a new test circuit and control method for the submodules of modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HVDC systems. The test current of conventional submodule test circuits cannot provide the DC offset components or may have some distortion in the linearized current with the DC offset. The proposed scheme can provide not only the DC component but also linearized current without distortion. Therefore, the submodule test current waveform is relatively similar to that of a real submodule consisting of an MMC-based HVDC system. The validity of the proposed circuit and control method is verified through a simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a new definition of short-circuit ratio concept for multi-converter HVDC systems is proposed. Analysis results of voltage interaction between converters show that the reactive power-voltage characteristic of a converter has a dominant effect on voltage interaction level compared with its active power-voltage characteristic. Such a relation between converter reactive power and voltage interaction level supports taking the former into account in the definition of short-circuit ratio concept for multi-converter systems. The proposed definition is verified by the method of maximum power curve for various system configurations. Furthermore, a formula to calculate transient overvoltage for multi-converter systems is derived based on the proposed definition, and the efficiency of the derived formula is verified.

본 논문에서는 기존 전류형 HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) 토폴로지에서 DC단에 직렬로 MMC(Modular multi-level Con verter, MMC) 토폴로지를 결합하여 대용량의 전력을 전류형 HVDC로 사용하고, 소용량 전력을 MMC로 사용 및 전력을 컨트롤하여 전류형 HVDC의 점호각을 최소로 가져갈 수 있는 토폴로지를 설계하였다. 이러한 토폴로지는 최소점호각 제한을 적게 할 수 있고, 동일출력 DC전압 조건하에서 무효전력발생을 적게 할 수 있는, 기존 전류형 HVDC에 MMC를 추가한 새로운 하이브리드 HVDC용 AC/DC컨버터의 구조이다. 타당성 검증을 위해 PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

The HVDC transformer which is one of the main equipments for HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) electric power transmission systems is exposed to not only AC voltage but also the inflowing DC voltage which comes from the DC-AC converter systems. Therefore, the HVDC transformer insulation system is required to withstand the electric field stress under AC, DC and DC polarity reversal conditions. However the electric field distributions under those conditions are different because the AC electric field and DC electric field are governed by permittivity and conductivity, respectively. In this study, the changes of electric potential and electric field of conventional AC transformer insulation system under DC polarity reversal test condition were analyzed by FEM(Finite Element Method). The DC electric field stress was concentrated in the solid insulators while the AC electric field stress was concentrated in the mineral oil. In addition, the electric stress under that condition which is affected by the surface charge accumulation at the interfaces between insulators was evaluated. The stress in some parts could be higher than that of AC and DC condition, during polarity reversal test. The result of this study would be helpful for the HVDC transformer insulation system design.
