Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC is the most recent HVDC technology with extruded DC cables in small and medium power transmission. VSC-HVDC converters include Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’S) and operated with high frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to get high speed control of both active and reactive power. With VSC-HVDC there is an addition degree of freedom...

Variable characteristics of turbine for different wind speeds have different operating point. Maximum power thus can’t be assured at all points of operation. But MPPT algorithm pushes the electronic dc-dc convertor to provide higher power output by adjusting duty cycle of buck/boost convertor connected before load. MATLAB simulations have been investigated and results show a higher power output...

There is a growing interest in applications of HVDC grids in many parts of the world. Comparing with individual HVDC links, HVDC grids can provide flexible energy transfers among multiple converter stations, improved system reliability, and reduced investment cost, etc. In particular, an offshore HVDC grid will allow the aggregation and delivery of power from offshore wind farms in different re...

The scope of the presented paper is concentrated on two terminal HVDC transmission system. The intention of the paper is to present a precise insight into the limitations of the transmitted power of a HVDC system incorporated in real AC power system. The paper demonstrates the impacts of the combined AC/DC system model parameters on the transmitted power through the DC link. Also, in this paper...

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission is employed to move large amounts of electric power. There are several possibilities to enhance the transient stability in a power system. One adequate option is by using the high controllability of the HVDC if HVDC is available in the system. This paper presents a control technique for HVDC to enhance the transient stability. The strategy c...

Conventional Voltage Source Converters (VSC) cannot interrupt DC fault currents and DC circuit breakers are not yet commercially available for HVDC power ratings. Thus, the protection of VSC-HVDC systems is still an obstacle for the development of this technology. The features of VSC-HVDC systems make them suitable for implementing HVDC grids. Nevertheless, HVDC grids are more complex than poin...

The fault recovery of VSC-HVDC transmission system is often influenced by many factors, such as the reactive power compensation characteristics of the inverter and the dynamic performance of DC controllers. In this paper, the PSCAD/ EMTDC simulation tool is used to study the dynamic recovery performance of VSC-HVDC system for several different var compensating devices in VSC-HVDC inverter-Fixed...
