  • A hybrid HVDC system that is composed of line commutated converter (LCC) at the rectifier side and voltage source converter (VSC) in series with LCC at the inverter side is studied in this paper. The start-up strategy, DC fault ride-through capability, and fault recovery strategy for the hybrid HVDC system are proposed. The steady state and dynamic performances under start-up, AC fault, and DC fault scenarios are analyzed based on a bipolar hybrid HVDC system. Furthermore, the immunity of the LCC inverter in hybrid HVDC to commutation failure is investigated. The simulation results in PSCAD/EMTDC show that the hybrid HVDC system exhibits favorable steady state and dynamic performances, in particular, low susceptibility to commutation failure, excellent DC fault ride-through, and fast fault recovery capability. Results also indicate that the hybrid HVDC system can be a good alternative for large-capacity power transmission over a long distance byoverhead line.

  • This paper presents the new power dissipation model of individual switching device in a high-level modular multilevel converter (MMC), which can be mostly used in voltage sourced converter (VSC) based high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system and flexible AC transmission system (FACTS). Also, the voltage balancing method based on sorting algorithm is newly proposed to advance the MMC functionalities by effectively adjusting switching variations of the sub-module (SM). The proposed power dissipation model does not fully calculate the average power dissipation for numerous switching devices in an arm module. Instead, it estimates the power dissipation of every switching element based on the inherent operational principle of SM in MMC. In other words, the power dissipation is computed in every single switching event by using the polynomial curve fitting model with minimum computational efforts and high accuracy, which are required to manage the large number of SMs. After estimating the value of power dissipation, the thermal condition of every switching element is considered in the case of external disturbance. Then, the arm modeling for high-level MMC and its control scheme is implemented with the electromagnetic transient simulation program. Finally, the case study for applying to the MMC based HVDC system is carried out to select the appropriate insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module in a steady-state, as well as to estimate the proper thermal condition of every switching element in a transient state.

  • Fault current problems is considered a serious issue in the power system because large fault currents not only cause many side effects to the equipments of power system but also lead to severe problems, such as blackouts. This paper deals with the structural analysis and 3-phase fault current stability of the future Seoul metropolitan power system. The simulation composition and analysis are performed with the 4th KEPCO power supply planning data using PSS/e. Through the results of the simulations, it can be observed that the future Seoul metropolitan system results in a fault current which exceeds the circuit breaker (CB) rate. This unremovable fault current can cause critical damage to power system. To resolve the problem, the algorithm for the application of Voltage Sourced Converter Back-to-Back High Voltage Direct Current (VSC BTB HVDC) is being proposed. where the most suitable location for solving fault current problem in Seoul metropolitan area is being implemented.

  • This paper presents a method to find the fault location on the DC cables for the HVDC transmission systems which utilizes a hybrid topology of the diode rectifier and the voltage-source converter (VSC) in the wind farm (WF) side. First, the DC-cable fault occurring in this HVDC system is analyzed in detail. Then, the DC-cable fault location is detected from the two relative voltages located on the same section of the cable, which are estimated from a pair of DC-cable voltage and current measurements. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the simulation results.

  • Since $20^{th}$ century, along with the rapid industrial advancement, the concentrated urban development in specific large cities have made people migrate to those cities, thus causing problems in the power system stability. In case of Korea, more than 40% of the power system demand comes from the consumers in Seoul Metropolitan area and the rate is expected to increase. With the continuous increase of power demand, in order to meet the demand for system reliability improvement, the power system was multi-looped for reliability enhancement, the problem of fault current happened. In this situation, there are several methods for fault current reduction likes current limiting reactor, replacing circuit breaker, splitting busses, etc. But these methods reached its limit, power system needs more fundamental solutions such as grid segmentation. In this paper, we assume grid segmentation already has been progressed using VSC BTB HVDC. Then, this paper discusses operating point of HVDC in metropolitan area considering loss minimization and handy flow control. The simulation is proceeded on 2027 KEPCO system.

  • The government on Jeju Special Self-governing Province has a policy named 'Carbon Free Island Jeju by 2030'. The main purpose in this policy is to install wind power system with the total capacity of 1.35 GW by 2020. When the demand load on Jeju Island power system is lower than entire output power, a lot of dump power will be produced from the large-scale wind farms. It will be able to cause the wind power limit on Jeju Island. Consequently, the additional power facility must be installed to ensure stable power system operation in Jeju Island and increase wind power limit. From this point, this paper proposes the installation of MMC-HVDC, which can supply power in real time in the desired direction. The effectiveness of MMC-HVDC based on measured data of Jeju Island power system will be verified by using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.
