Remedial Actions

<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>

Goi-tentsioko korronte zuzeneko (ingelesez, High Voltage Direct Current HVDC) garraio-sistemak gero eta garrantzitsuagoak dira sistema elektrikoan, onura ekonomiko eta teknikoak direla eta. Hala ere, akatsen bat gertatzen denean, korrontea eteteak oraindik ere erronka izaten jarraitzen du HVDC sareetan. Desiragarriak ez diren korronteak eteteko, korronte zuzeneko etengailuak erabil daitezke, baina horien gaitasuna mugatua da. Egoera hala izanik, akats-korronteen mugagailuak (ingelesez, Fault Current Limiter FCL) dira proposamenik egokiena akats-korronteak maneiagarriagoak diren balioetara txikitzeko; hartara, sistema elektrikoaren garraio-ahalmena handitu daiteke, ekipamendua aldatu beharrik gabe. Sarean aldez aurretik legokeen ekipamendua gai izango litzateke korronte berriak kudeatzeko eta sistema era eraginkorrean babesteko FCLen erabilpenaz. Artikulu honetan, FCL tresnen ezaugarri orokorrak eta sailkapena aurkezten dira. Ondoren, egoera solidoko FCLa erabili da maila anizkoitzeko bihurgailudun (ingelesez, Modular Multilevel Converter MMC) VSC-HVDC (ingelesez, Voltage Source Converter) sistema batean, eta horren jokaera azaltzen da simulazio bidez.

High Voltage Direct Current

The continuous development of alternative energy has put forward higher requirement for electricity transmission. To cope with its fluctuation characteristics, high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology has received more attention. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based Multi-Terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MTDC) represents the future trend of HVDC technology. This paper mainly focuses on the control strategies of a four-terminal VSC based MTDC power transmission system. The operation characteristic of the system was studied, and the proposed two control strategies, master-slave control strategy and DC voltage droop control strategy, were verified through simulations. The latter control strategy was proved to be performing well under various conditions, including converter station disconnection and faults at AC side of the converter.
