Cross-seam high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission in the United States can provide an efficient and flexible bulk power delivery highway between the interconnections. Recent studies have shown significant economic benefits of cross-seam HVDC transmission systems by taking the advantages of load diversity, frequency response, renewable energy diversity, and energy arbitrage in the different interconnections. This paper introduces a station-hybrid system scheme for cross-seam interconnections. Here, the proposed station-hybrid system combines the advantages of line commutated converter (LCC) and voltage source converter (VSC) technologies, thus enabling reliable and flexible bidirectional power flows across the interconnections. Control strategies of the station-hybrid system are investigated with a focus on power flow reversal control under normal operation conditions and grid support control under emergency conditions. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed station-hybrid system and corresponding control strategies are verified by simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC.
