A Voltage Stability Analysis Method of Multi-infeed HVDC Power Systems

Abstract

According to the Chinese power network planning, the risk of voltage instability at the receiving-end AC power system will be increased significantly, where there will be more HVDC systems feeding into a same AC grid in the future. At present, the effective voltage stability analysis methods of multi-infeed DC (MIDC) system are few, the most widely used method with most research results is the multi-infeed short-circuit ratio (MISCR) index at home and abroad. The deficiency of MISCR index is pointed out. The relationship between multi-infeed interaction factor (MIIF) and the voltage stability of the receiving-end AC system is discussed. Then a new method joint MIIF and MISCR indexes to evaluate the voltage stability of MIDC system is put forward. Finally, simulation tests and analysis results of a large actual grid prove the feasibility and good performance of the proposed new method.
