Abstract

With the development of High Voltage DC Transmission (HVDC) technology, there will be more and more HVDC-AC hybrid transmission system in the world. A basic challenge in HVDC-AC hybrid transmission systems is to optimize the power sharing between DC and AC lines, which become more severe when supplying power for passive networks, as the surplus power can only flow back to power grids through the AC lines. To deal with this issue, it demands not only accurate system capability design but also flexible power control strategy of power converters in VSC-HVDC. This paper proposes a novel power control strategy of Modular Multi-level Converter in VSC-HVDC, which can optimize converter output power according to passive network loading variation. Proposal method is studied with a case study of a VSC-HVDC AC hybrid project by PSCAD/EMTDC simulations.
