Impacts of MT-HVDC Systems on Enhancing the Power Transmission Capability
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, improvement in the power transfer capacity of transmission lines (TLs) by utilizing a multi-terminal high voltage direct current (MT-HVDC) grid is discussed. A multi-terminal HVDC grid designed for wind power can be used as an extra transmission path in interconnected systems during low wind conditions, and provides extra dynamic stability and security. This paper deals with the power transfer capacity as well as the small signal (SS) stability assessments in less damped oscillations accompanying inter area modes. Computation of the maximum allowable power transfer capability is assessed via DC optimal power flow-based control architecture, permitting more power transfer with a definite security margin. The test system is assessed with and without the exploitation of MT-HVDC grid. Simulation work is done using a generic computational framework i.e., international council on large electric systems (CIGRE) B4 test bench with a Kundur’s two area system, shows that voltage source converters (VSCs) provide excellent control and flexibility, improving the power transfer capability keeping the system stable.
