Abstract

Different from voltage-source converter (VSC), reactive power absorption of line-commutated converters (LCCs) changes depending on DC voltage level. Therefore, the amount of AC voltage fluctuations at inverter side are different according to I-V droop constants in hybrid multi-terminal high-voltage direct current (MT-HVDC) system. This paper proposes a method for calculating the I-V droop constants in a hybrid MT-HVDC system to suppress these AC voltage fluctuations, based on the sensitivity of AC and DC networks. Simulations performed using PSCAD demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
