Commutation failure at the inverter side of an MIDC (multi-infeed HVDC) is usually caused by AC system faults. Suppose the converter bus voltage cannot recover to the normal operation level in time: in that case, the commutation failure will then develop into more severe subsequent commutation failures or even DC blocking, which will severely threaten the security and stability of the system. Dynamic reactive power compensation equipment (DRPCE) can offer voltage support during accident recovery, stabilize voltage fluctuation and inhibit any subsequent commutation failure risk. This paper proposes the optimal DRPCE configuration scheme for maximizing both inhibitory effect and economic performance. The simulation results on MATLAB-BPA prove the scheme’s correctness and rationality, which can effectively inhibit the risk of subsequent commutation failure and obtain economic benefits.

TCR-TSC static reactive power compensator (SVC) is the most widely used in the field of power system reactive power compensation. This type of reactive power compensator can not only compensate the reactive power required in the power system, but also handle the over-compensation problem well. This paper will establish a MATLAB simulation model to simulate the TCR-TSC SVC, focusing on the dynamic reactive power compensation characteristics of the TCR-TSC SVC in suppressing voltage fluctuations. The simulation results show that the TCR-TSC SVC has a better dynamic reactive power compensation effect.

In this paper, a reactive power compensation system using static VAR compensator is presented. To confine on system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is the fundamental way forflexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The variations of reactive power have an effect on thegenerating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays, and isolators. It can also cause effective voltage sags and increase losses. In the proposed system, the lead time between voltage pulse and curren pulse is measured and fed to the interrupt pins of the microcontroller where the program takes over to bring the shunt capacitors to the circuit to get the reactive power compensated. Back-to-back SCRs interfaced through optical isolation from the microcontroller are used in parallel for controlling the capacitor.
