Abstract
Modern power systems are continually being expanded, are required to carry more power and are being increasingly interconnected. All of these increase the risk of wide area blackout.In 2003 the North America Blackout demonstrated that a HVDC link provides a ‘firewall’ against the system collapse propagating through a network. The HVDC link between Quebec and New York ensured that the system collapse did not progress beyond the HVDC interconnection interface. The objectives of this paper are to investigate contributions that integrate HVDC interconnections into AC networks. The simulation studies were performed using MATLAB.
Highlights
The HVDC transmission technologies are playing more important roles in world‟s power transmission systems
The HVDC link between Ontario and New York ensured that the system collapse did not progress beyond the interconnection interface when outage propagated through Qntario and New York [3]
This paper investigates the impact of HVDC constraining system collapse transmitting through the power networks and the influence that HVDC links bring to distance relays
Summary
The HVDC transmission technologies are playing more important roles in world‟s power transmission systems. The use of HVDC technologies can contribute to satisfying these demands. HVDC technologies provide immediate benefits to power grid including bulk power delivery, long distance transmission and asynchronous interconnections. The 2003 Northeast America blackout suggested that HVDC interconnection provide a „firewall‟ against system collapse spreading through the networks. This was seen during the Northeast blackout in the USA on 14th August 2003 [1, 2] where around 50 million people were affected by the loss of 61,800MW of load. The HVDC link between Ontario and New York ensured that the system collapse did not progress beyond the interconnection interface when outage propagated through Qntario and New York [3]
