Abstract

This paper presents an electromechanical transient modeling and simulation method for large power system with inclusion of bipolar multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) grid. First, the dynamic model of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) is presented. The dynamic model of the bipolar DC grid is then established by using the companion circuit method. In particular, the inductances of DC lines are carefully modeled to ensure the simulation accuracy when a DC fault occurs. Second, the electromechanical transient simulation procedure for a power system with inclusion of an MTDC grid is presented. The AC and DC grids are solved alternately. Due to the difference between time constants of AC and DC grids, the multi-rate scheme is used to ensure the simulation efficiency. Third, the proposed method is employed to simulate a real-life large power system with inclusion of a bipolar MTDC grid. The simulation results validate the correctness and the effectiveness of the proposed method. Unique interaction characteristics between AC and DC grids are also revealed by the results.
