Control of multiterminal HVDC-networks embedded in ac-transmission systems. Phase II

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6689205

The overall objective of this work has been directed towards studying the operational advantages available through embedding multiterminal HVdc-networks into a conventional bulk-power ac-transmission system. HVdc-transmission links provide means for controlling dc-voltage, current, or power levels between certain practical limits. The appropriate use of controls can potentially lead to: improved overall steady-state operation of the combined ac-dc system with regard to economic optimality, and improved system reliability and security against disturbances, and augmented dynamic and transient stability margins, thus allowing for a balanced heavier loading of the entire combined transmission system.
