The commissioning of the Quebec-New England multiterminal dc transmission system underscores the increasing need to develop numerical models for simulation purposes. The modern microprocessor-based HVDC converter controls used in this scheme make the modeling a real challenge since Electro-Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP) usually employed for simulation purposes and its Transient Analysis of Control Systems (TACS) was designed to simulate analog, not digital controls. This paper gives details about the modeling of digital controls with a modified EMTP version and presents some comparisons with HVDC simulator results which show good agreement between the two power system analysis tools. A case of validation with field test result is also included in the paper.
