Title: Small-Signal Modulation of the Pacific HVDC Intertie.

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7364708

Recent undamped oscillations in the Western U.S. power system have indicated the need to improve system damping. The development of a control algorithm for small-signal modulation of the Pacific HVDC Intertie is described. The control signal which would be applied to the current regulator at the sending end of the dc intertie is based on rate of change of ac-intertie power. Results from simulation studies are presented which show that modulation will produce considerable damping.
