Abstract Voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) can participate in voltage regulation by flexible control to help maintain the voltage stability of the power grid. In order to quantitatively evaluate its influence on the voltage interaction between VSC-HVDC and line commutated converter based high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC), this paper proposes a hybrid multi-infeed interaction factor (HMIIF) calculation method considering the voltage regulation control characteristics of VSC-HVDC. Firstly, for a hybrid multi-infeed high voltage direct current system, an additional equivalent operating admittance matrix is constructed to characterize HVDC equipment characteristics under small disturbance.… More >

Abstract With the penetration of a large number of photovoltaic power generation units and power electronic converters, the DC microgrid shows low inertia characteristics, which might affect the stable operation of the microgrid in extreme cases. In order to enhance the “flexible features” of the interface converter connected to the DC bus, a control strategy of DC microgrid with photovoltaic and energy storage based on the virtual DC generator (VDCG) is proposed in this paper. The interface converters of the photovoltaic power generation system and the energy storage system simulates the inertia and damping characteristics of More >
