Abstract
Building high-proportion renewable energy grid requires economical and reliable High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converters. Line Commutated Converter (LCC) is widely used because of its long transmission distance, low power loss, low manufacturing cost, and large transmission capacity, which modular multilevel converter (MMC) cannot achieve, but has commutation failure (CF) problems. Low-frequency and sub-synchronous power oscillation caused by CF will affect the safety of bulk power systems. This paper theoretically analyzes the power oscillation during CF and CF recovery, and then proposes a novel hybrid line commutated converter (H-LCC) based on integrated gate commutated thyristor (IGCT), which can effectively mitigate CF and suppress power oscillation. The principle of H-LCC suppressing power oscillation is analyzed. On this basis, the performance of LCC, MMC and H-LCC under the same fault conditions is compared by a simulation study, which proves that H-LCC can improve the security and stability of high-proportion renewable energy power systems.
