Power-Flow Modeling of HVDC Transmission Systems

This book deals exclusively with the power-flow modelling of HVDC systems alongwith details of different type of HVDC systems, their configuration/connections, adopted control techniques, and gradually builds upto power-flow modelling concept. It covers LCC- and VSC-based HVDC systems followed by power-flow modelling of HVDC systems integrated with renewable energy sources. It details DC grid power-flow controllers into the power-flow modelling of VSC-HVDC systems. The effect of the power-flow approaches and HVDC control strategies is detailed with their implementation.

Features:

Discusses steady state (i.e., power flow) solution of integrated AC/DC system for operating any multi-terminal HVDC grid within an existing AC grid.

Presents a detailed theoretical analysis of the system equilibrium under the different types of converter control.

HVDC power-flow models developed have been validated by implementation in IEEE 300-bus test network integrated with different HVDC grids.

DC grid power-flow controllers like the IDCPFC has been introduced and subsequently modeled into the powerflow algorithm.

Both unified and sequential powerflow models are covered.

This book aims at Researchers and Graduate students in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, and HVDC Transmission.
