Abstract

High voltage direct current transmission systems (HVDC) have been applied for several advantages as link between asynchronous AC systems, economical power transmission over long distances, power accurate control, stability, power quality and low power dissipation. HVDC technology based on voltage source converter (VSC-HVDC) is a kind of newly developed HVDC transmission technology. It is attractive for connecting weak AC networks, islands networks and renewable sources to a main grid. This new HVDC system has been studied in this paper and compared with conventional HVDC and HVAC. Some control schemes have been introduced to control the VSC-HVDC system
