Abstract
Hybrid high voltage direct current transmission (Hybrid HVDC) is a new type of HVDC technology developed in recent years. It combines the characteristics of large-capacity and low cost of the line commutated converters (LCC) and non-commutation failure and dynamic reactive power support of voltage sourced converters (VSCs) in one HVDC system. It has technical advantages in the fields of unidirectional power transmission and in the application of improving the stability of multi-infeed HVDCs, giving it broad application prospects. The Kunbei-Liuzhou-Longmen (KBL) project is the first hybrid ultra HVDC project. It was put into service on Dec. 27 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> , 2020. This paper introduces the KBL project, analyzes the operation characteristics of hybrid HVDC system, and provides on-site verification of KBL project, including operation of LCC-VSC hybrid system, ultra-high voltage VSC technology using the series of two valve groups, the DC fault ride-though of hybrid VSC without using DC breaker, the connection and disconnection of a third station, and etc.
