The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has been widely adopted in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems due to its significant advantages. MMC-HVDC is developing towards multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) power grid for reliability enhancement. However, there exist a huge amplitude and a steep rise in fault current due to the low impedances of DC lines and MMCs, which threaten the security and reliability of the DC power grids. It is necessary to restrain the DC short circuit current in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of DC power grids. This paper gives a comprehensive review and evaluation of the proposed DC short-circuit current analysis and suppression techniques used in MMC-based MTDC power girds, in terms of MMC modeling, short circuit calculation, and suppression method. In addition, future trends of countermeasures to short circuit current in MMC-based MTDC power grids are also discussed.

Current Reduction

Electrical resistors for power lines are used worldwide as Neutral Earthing Resistors for short-circuit current reduction in power grids, and also as Filtering Resistors in combination with capacitors and inductances. The manufacturers of such resistors must certificate that they withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses imposed by the external loads, in accordance with IEC 62001 standard. Although this certification can be achieved by means of testing the resistor under working conditions, this process is both expensive and time-consuming. In this paper it is proposed a methodology for simulating the thermal and mechanical behavior of an electrical resistor, based on Multiphysics Finite Element Analysis. The methodology has been applied for the analysis of a filtering resistor for the Ethiopia-Kenia Power Systems Interconnection. Keywords: Earthing and Filtering Resistor, Multiphysics Finite Element Analysis, IEC 62001 short-circuit behavior.

Operation Characteristics

Microgrid are LV or MV electric networks which utilize various distributed generators (DG) to serve local loads.In this paper an equivalent model of a hybrid system including wind power and solar power generating units has been built based on the mathematical models of wind turbine(WT) and photovoltaic(PV).Control strategies of the converters have been also developed. The short-circuit current and voltage levels of the microgrid have been calculated respectively based on the IEC 60909 standard corresponding to the occurrence of a three-phases short-circuit at the Point of the Common Coupling(PCC). Simulation results verified that the micro sources and microgrid built in this paper can simulate the actual system operation very well, and it can provide a simulation platform for further study of operation characteristics of system-integrated microgrid.
