Based on the respective characteristics of line-commutated converter high-voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) and voltage-source converter high voltage direct cur- rent (VSC-HVDC), two additional emergency DC power support (EDCPS) controllers are designed, respectively. In addition a coordinated control strategy based on a hybrid multi-infeed HVDC system for EDCPS is proposed. Considering the difference in system recovery between LCC-HVDC and VSC-HVDC in EDCPS, according to the magnitude of the amount of potential power loss, the LCC-HVDC and VSC-HVDC priority issues of boosting power for EDCPS are discussed in detail. Finally, a hybrid three-infeed HVDC that consists of two parallel LCC-HVDCs and one VSC-HVDC that is built in PSCAD/EMTDC are simulated. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified based on this hybrid three-infeed HVDC system.
High voltage direct current (HVDC) emergency control can significantly improve the transient stability of an AC/DC interconnected power grid, and is an important measure to reduce the amount of generator and load shedding when the system fails. For the AC/DC interconnected power grid, according to the location of failure, disturbances can be classified into two categories: 1) interconnected system tie-line faults, which will cause the power unbalance at both ends of the AC system, as a result of the generator rotor acceleration at the sending-end grid and the generator rotor deceleration at the receiving-end grid; 2) AC system internal faults, due to the isolation effect of the DC system, only the rotor of the generator in the disturbed area changes, which has little impact on the other end of the grid. In view of the above two different locations of disturbance, auxiliary power and frequency combination control as well as a switch strategy, are proposed in this paper. A four-machine two-area transmission system and a multi-machine AC/DC parallel transmission system were built on the PSCAD platform. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
The grid integration of large-scale wind and solar energy affects the power flow of wind-PV-thermal-bundled power transmission systems and may introduce an unpredicted threat to the power system’s small signal stability. Meanwhile, a power system stabilizer (PSS) and static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) play an important role in improving the static and dynamic stability of the system. Based on this scenario and in view of the actual engineering requirements, the framework of wind-PV-thermal-bundled power transmitted by an AC/DC system with the PSS and SSSC is established considering the fluctuation of wind and photovoltaic power output and the characteristics of the PSS and SSSC. Afterwards, the situation model is constructed in the IEEE 2-area 4-unit system, and the influence of the PSS and SSSC on the system stability under different operating conditions is analyzed in detail through eigenvalue analysis and time-domain simulation. Finally, an index named the gain rate is defined to describe the improvement of the stability limitations of various wind-PV-thermal operating conditions with the PSS and SSSC. The results indicate (K) that the damping characteristics, dynamic stability and stability limitations for various wind-PV-thermal operating conditions of the wind-PV-thermal-bundled power transmission system can be significantly improved by the interaction of the PSS and SSSC.
