Advanced Simulation of the Power Electronic Converters of VSC FACTS and HVDC in Hybrid Real Time Simulators of Power System

Abstract:

The present paper focuses on simulation of VSC (voltage source converter) based on FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) and HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission technologies. Particular attention is paid to hybrid real-time simulation approach which provides adequate and comprehensive modeling of electric power systems (EPS), containing FACTS and HVDC. The results of experimental research support the necessary level of adequate simulation of commutation processes and suitability of the presented concept and simulation tools for effective solution of research and development tasks of effective use of HVDC and FACTS devices in EPS.
