Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission on the transient stability of a two-machine power system, considering three transmission line configurations: parallel HVAC-HVAC, parallel HVDC-HVDC, and a hybrid HVAC-HVDC operation. The faults are balanced three-phase short-circuits in AC lines, and single phase faults on DC lines, applied in the mid-point of the interconnection. For each configuration, transient stability of the AC systems is assessed in terms of the fault critical clearing time (CCT), and for different DC power levels. The results indicate the contribution of HVDC transmission in increasing the critical clearing time; and therefore enhancing the systems stability margin and operational security.
