<p>Planning of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids requires inclusion of reliability assessment of alternatives under study. This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the adequacy of voltage source converter/VSC-HVDC networks. The methodology analyses the performance of the system using N-1 and N-2 contingencies in order to detect weaknesses in the DC network and evaluates two types of remedial actions to keep the entire system under the acceptable operating limits. The remedial actions are applied when a violation of these limits on the DC system occurs; those include topology changes in the network and adjustments of power settings of VSC converter stations. The CIGRE B4 DC grid test system is used for evaluating the reliability/adequacy performance by means of the proposed methodology in this paper. The proposed remedial actions are effective for all contingencies; then, numerical results are as expected. This work is useful for planning and operation of grids based on VSC-HVDC technology.</p>


Theoretical review of various topologies of high voltage DC links in application to off shore wind forms has been studied and analysed. In addition to that, various types of high voltage DC links such as back to back, two terminal, multi-terminal systems has been covered under this study. The Line-Commutated Converters, Voltage Source Converter, Modular Multi-Level Converter as well as some of advanced hybrid high voltage DC topologies in application to off shore wind forms has been reviewed. This study covers complication arising from large-scale wind power generation. The review paper also points out the scope of future research in high voltage DC converters.
