Recent Advances in HVDC System: Electronic Apparatus Used To Support Optimized Operation and
Abstract
The ever increasing progress of high-voltage high-power fully-controlled semiconductor
technology continue to have a significant impact on the development of advance power
electronic apparatus used to support optimized operation and efficient management
of electrical grids, which in many cases are fully or partially deregulated networks.
Developments
advance both the high voltage direct-current (HVDC) power transmission and the flexibility
alternating current transmission system (FACTS) technologies. In this paper, an overview
of the recent advances in the area of voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC technology is
provided. Selected key multilevel converter topologies are presented. Control &
modeling method are discussed. It is confirmed that the continuous development of power
electronics present cost effective opportunities for the utilities to exploit and HVDC remains
a key technology. In particular, VSC-HVDC can address not only conventional network
issues such as bulk power transmission, asynchronous network interconnection, back-to-back
AC system linking and voltage/stability support to mention a few, but also niche markets
such as the integration of large scale renewable energy sources with the grid.
