The Static Voltage Stability Limit Calculation of AC/DC Hybrid Power System Based on Improved Continuation Power Flow Algorithm

Abstract

With the HVDC system interconnected to power grid, the voltage stability problem of power grid has become increasingly prominent. This paper establishes the mathematical model of AC/DC hybrid power system and proposed an improved Continuation Power Flow (CPF) algorithm to calculate the static voltage stability limit of AC/DC hybrid system, the characteristics of this algorithm are as following: PQ decoupled power flow algorithm is used; Lagrange quadric interpolation is used in the process of predictor and step control; local parameter method is used in the correction. The iterations of AC/DC calculation alternate to solve power flow equations and select the step control near the critical power limit points to ensure the convergence of power flow solution. In order to verify the correctness of the proposed algorithm, this paper compares the calculation results by the improved algorithm and Matpower on the IEEE 14 bus-system. This paper calculates the static voltage stability limit of AC/DC hybrid power system under different DC control patterns of modified IEEE 14 bus-system and analyzes the impacts of different DC control pattern to the system voltage stability.
