The objective of the project is to improve understanding of the problems of Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) HVDC integration into the existing transmission system. The project aims to make progress in three related areas:
1. Multi-terminal VSC HVDC operation;2. AC/DCVSCHVDCinteraction–controland3. AC/DC VSC HVDC interaction – detailed model (fast transients).
These areas have been identified as requiring to be addressed as part of the risk managed introduction of the technology onto the transmission system. The project will deliver reports on the results of studies and a documented set of models for use in National Grid’s internal system studies. The work forms an essential step in being able to implement the technology on the transmission system.
