The development of super high voltage grid in China
At the end of 2005 the installed generation capacity of 500 GW makes China the second highest in the electricity production in the world. As China is being transformed into the manufacturing centre of the world, the increase of electricity ...
Intelligent control and protection of power system with IEPS-W
Power utilities operate more and more globally and require flexible, future-proof communication systems to cope with changing operational requirements, philosophies and technologies. Due to the significant changes in the power system indust...
HTS cable and its anticipated effects on power transmission networks
High temperature superconductive cable (HTS cable) has unique characteristic of low impedance to current flow. Unlike conventional power cables, HTS cable offers higher power transfer with minimum losses and more compact designs of power ap...
Control system design for HVDC systems using optimization-enabled electromagnetic transient simulation
The paper describes a new tool for the design of robust control systems for HVDC and FACTS controllers that combines electromagnetic transient simulation with a nonlinear optimization algorithm. The design objectives are formulated into an ...
Forced commutation circuit for HVDC transmission
This paper studies a novel converter configuration for HVDC systems. The converter is based on a resonant circuit and the forced commutation principle, which enables thyristor commutation to be independent of the AC voltage. The theoretical...
