This stability issue has not been deeply explored in existing literature. In light of this, this paper establishes a representative model of converter-interfaced generations (CIGs) with MMC-HVDC transmission. Then, eigenvalue-based analyses, time-domain simulations, and block diagrams are employed to investigate the mechanism and characteristics of the new LFO. For the first time, this paper indicates the coexistence of two LFO modes in such a system, which could become unstable simultaneously. The LFO modes mainly originate from the interaction among the phase-locked loop (PLL) of CIGs, DC voltage control of CIGs, and AC voltage control of MMC. These loops’ contributions to two LFO modes are sensitive to certain parameter settings. The paper further analyzes the key factors affecting LFO characteristics, including the control parameters of CIGs and MMC, and the number of online CIGs. Possible control measures for this new oscillation issue are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":13498,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery","volume":"40 2","pages":"1067-1077"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In each calculation model, two post-fault equivalent MMC circuits are established following converter blocking for the independent study of the upper and lower arms. The detailed expression of the post-fault voltages and currents in each arm, valve-side, and grid-side are obtained from the proposed calculation models. Moreover, the applicability of the calculation models for solid, inductive, and resistive dc-grounding methods is also demonstrated, along with a further discussion on the influence of MMC arm/grid-side resistance as well as varying fault-grounding impedance. Multiple bipolar MMC-HVDC systems, incorporating HBSM, FBSM, and hybrid SM configurations, are developed in PSCAD/EMTDC to validate the accuracy of the proposed analytical calculation models.","PeriodicalId":13498,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery","volume":"40 2","pages":"988-1001"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is achieved through a meticulous analytical approach that ensures high fidelity in representing the transformer's electromagnetic properties. The consideration of magnetic flux effects on inductance and resistance values significantly enhances the model's accuracy and validity. Traditional analytical methods often resort to simplified approaches due to the complexity of these calculations. The paper addresses these limitations by evaluating the eddy current losses in the core and conductors, and by providing a detailed understanding of each component's impact on transformer behavior. Furthermore, by considering the core and conductor effects on the magnetic field distribution, the model handles a wide range of frequencies, making it suitable for conducting comprehensive transient analysis. To validate the model, comparisons with the finite element method and empirical measurements are conducted. Additionally, a reduced-order transformer model is developed using admittance matrix reduction. This approach focuses on the nodes of interest, effectively eliminating not-observed nodes and reducing computational complexity without compromising accuracy. In this way, voltages at specific points of interest are computed efficiently, maintaining the accuracy of the original model.","PeriodicalId":13498,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery","volume":"40 2","pages":"1054-1066"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the interaction paths among multiple converters and quantitatively evaluate their contributions to the system stability, this article establishes the state-space model and the motion equation model integrating multiple converters for HC-HVDC system. Then, based on the path decomposition method, the open-loop transfer function is decomposed into five damping paths viewed from the equivalent inductor of LCC inverter. This offers a perspective on system damping characteristics to reflect the key paths and contributing converters leading to the weak damping of dominant oscillatory mode. The impact of LCC inverter's self-stabilizing path, as well as the en-stabilizing paths involving the components related to interactions between LCC inverter and each MMC, and interactions among series-parallel connected multiple converters, on system stability is clearly quantified. Moreover, the outcome of controller bandwidth variations on the damping characteristics of different paths is studied, providing insights into adjusting control parameters to enhance the system damping under weak AC system. It is indicated that the interaction between DC-voltage-controlled <inline-formula><tex-math>$text{MMC}_{1}$</tex-math></inline-formula> and LCC inverter, as well as the interactions among multiple converters, provide negative damping on system stability. The critical interaction paths contributing to negative damping and the identified sensitivity parameters can offer valuable insights for further enhancement of system stability in HC-HVDC system.","PeriodicalId":13498,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery","volume":"40 2","pages":"974-987"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
