This paper presents a transfer capability enhancement process using VSC HVDC system which can control active power as well as reactive power. The transfer capability is constrained by stability like voltage stability as well as thermal rating of power system components. Transfer capability of the power system limited by these constraints may be enhanced by reactive power control ability and active power flow control ability of the VSC HVDC system. To enhance the transfer capability of the system using VSC HVDC, selection of the HVDC installation site is performed. In this work, power zones which consist of major power plants and their sinks are identified using power tracing and distribution factor. Alternative route of major AC transmission line in the power zone is identified as VSC HVDC system.

Multi-terminal HVDC(MTDC) 시스템은 기존 전압형 HVDC 시스템이 갖는 능동적인 전력 조류 제어 및 불안정한 신재생에 너지원의 안정적 연계 기능을 극대화시킨 계통 구성 방식으로, 수퍼그리드의 구현에 가장 근접한 방식으로 각광받고 있다. 그러나 전압형 HVDC 시스템을 채택함으로써, 고장전류에 취약한 특징을 갖고 있으며 사고 구간의 분리를 위한 HVDC 차단기의 개발이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는, 추후 HVDC 차단기의 개발 및 적용을 위해 요구되는 MTDC시스템에서의 고장전류 특성 분석에 대한 내용을 기술하고 있다.

This paper describes CSC(Current Sourced Converters)-based HVDC operational strategy for voltage stability enhancement in the power system. In case of CSC-based HVDC system, rectifier and inverter consume reactive power up to about 60% of converter rating. Therefore, CSC-based HVDC is basically not useful system for voltage stability even if AC filters and shunt capacitors are attached. But, If the particular power system condition is fulfilled, CSC-based HVDC also can be the rapid reactive power source for voltage stability enhancement using a cooperative control with converter and AC filters/Shunt Capacitors. In this paper, the cooperative control algorithm is presented and simulated to ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW HVDC system in Jeju island.

Capacitor Commutated Converter HVDC system is required the small reactive power. It has the advantage of an application to the week grid because the firing angle ${\alpha}$ can be increased to a value well beyond $180^{\circ}$. In this paper, The three HVDC converter arrangements which are the CCC(Capacitor Commutated Converter) and the CSCC(Controlled Series Capacitor Convertor) and Conventional Converter are compared the dynamic character. and it find that the CCC HVDC is operating with more reliability. The simulation was conducted to the PSCAD/EMTDC.

100년전 토마스 에디슨이 주장한 직류 전력 전송 방식인 DC 송전은 AC 송전보다 장거리 송전 시 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다. 또한 다른 주파수를 가진 두 지역을 연계하여 전력을 전송 할 수있으며 전력 조류를 제어할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, AC와 DC전력간의 변환 장치를 필요로 하여 설비 구축 비용이 비싸다는 점과 고도의 제어기술 및 검증 기술이 요구된다는 단점은 이제 굳이 논할 필요도 없는 사실이다. 이에 수년전부터 국내에서도 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다는 장점이 지속적으로 부각되고 있으며 친 환경 발전 및 스마트 그리드의 호황 속에 DC 송전 기술의 필요성은 차세대 기술로 각광받으며 DC 고압 직류 방식인 HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current, 이하 HVDC)에 대한 연구 및 사업이 시작되었다. 그러나, HVDC 시스템의 손실 측정은 계산으로 인해 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 대한 실측 방안은 현재 없다. 또한 시스템 설계 시, 고려해야 하는 시스템의 Feasibility 및 신뢰성에서 손실은 중요한 지표 중의 하나이다. 그러나, HVDC 를 개발하고 설치, 운전하여 양도 또는 인수하는 과정에서 손실은 전력 요금과 직결되기 때문에 계산 및 측정에 대한 논란이 있는 실정이다. 계산 및 측정하는 HVDC의 손실은 무부하 손실 및 부하 손실로 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 손실 계산 방법을 소개하고 당사에서 측정을 실시한 HVDC 손실 측정 방법에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

전력 수요 급증과 전력 기술 발전으로 인해, 오늘날 HVDC 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 또한 지구 온난화, 녹색 에너지 개발, 스마트 그리드 사업 등으로 인해 세계적으로 HVDC 수요가 급증하고 있는 추세이다. 국내에서도 제주-해남간 HVDC 1호기가 이미 운영 중에 있으며, 제주-진도간 HVDC 2호기가 2012년 완공을 목표로 현재 설치 중에 있다. 2009년 HVDC 사업에 진출한 LS산전은 지난해 변환용 변압기를 국내 최초로 생산한데 이어, HVDC 핵심 요소인 싸이리스터 밸브(thyristor valve)도 개발 완료 하였다. 싸이리스터 밸브는 HVDC 시스템의 변환설비 중 심장 역할을 하는 핵심적인 설비로 교류를 직류로, 또는 직류를 교류로 변환시켜 교류 계통에 전력을 공급하는 장치로, 사용하기 전에 성능을 충분히 검증해야 한다. LS산전은 독자적으로 개발한 싸이리스터 밸브를 IEC 규격에 따라 엄격히 시험하여 성능을 입증하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발 시험의 일부로 수행한 싸이리스터 밸브에 대한 절연 시험(dielectric test)를 소개하고자 한다.

Since main portion of the required electric power in Jeju Island is provided from the mainland through two HVDC lines, Jeju HVDC has a most significant impact on Jeju power system. Average wind speed of Jeju Island is the highest among several candidates in South Korea. So, Jeju Island has been a suitable site for the construction of wind farms where several wind farms are now operating and several others to be sited. Since the large-scale wind generation could have adverse impacts on the stable operation of Jeju power system, wind power is also important for the stability of Jeju power system. Therefore, accurate modeling of Jeju HVDC and wind farms is required for stability analysis of Jeju power system. In this paper, PSS/E-based dynamic modeling of Jeju HVDC and DFIG wind farms is proposed. Model-writing technique of PSS/E is used to develop USRAUX model and USRMDL model for controlling the frequency of HVDC and imposing an operation limit of wind power, respectively. Dynamic characteristics of Jeju HVDC and DFIG wind farms are analyzed through the dynamic simulations. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the developed models for Jeju power system.

In spite of continuous increase of electric power demand and new generation plants, it is very difficult to install new transmission line. Therefore, it comes to be difficult to operate the power system stable, so it is required to find another way to get new transmission capacity. Because HVDC transmission system installation is the one of the best option for us, we have undertake the HVDC project in mainland. Buckdangjin-Goduck HVDC project(500kV, 3GW) is currently under construction and Eastern Power HVDC project(500kV, 8GW) is under the study for technical specification. Both of them have the Run-up SPS function for taking action of 765kV Transmission line fault. The Run-up SPS function increases the active power output of the HVDC rapidly when the transmission line between the power plant and network is tripped, thereby preventing the generator from overspeed and improving the power system stability. In this paper, we propose MEAC(Modified Equal Area Criteria) method based on traditional EAC method to quantitatively evaluate the effect of the HVDC run-up SPS function on the power system stability improvement.

HVDC is better economic method than HVAC in case of long distance transmission and it is possible to interconnect transmission lines regardless of difference of power frequency. The electrical environment problems of HVDC overhead transmission line are electric field, charged voltage, ion current and so on. For biopolar HVDC lines, most of the ions are directed toward the opposite polarity conductor, but a significant fraction is also directed toward the ground. These problems are major factor to design configuration of HVDC overhead transmission line. Therefore, It is necessary to test an environmental characteristics of HVDC overhead transmission line. In this paper, to assess the ion characteristic of HVDC transmission line, continuous measurements have been done on the biopolar single circuit line with ACSR 480mm2-6 bundle conductors of Gochang HVDC Test line. And then the ion characteristics were analyzed.

Recently, interest in the DC transmission is rapidly increasing worldwide. In many countries and leading companies are prior to the aggressive development of HVDC technology and application. Especially, VSC-HVDC system has been widely applied to transfer power at long distance between power plant and power consumption area. Therefore in this paper, we analyzed the benefit-cost of VSC-HVDC system which has more advantages than existing transmission system. The proposed system is MMC(Modular Multilevel Converter) VSC-HVDC system that have stability of Power Grid, interconnect Large-scale New Power Generation Plants by prevents Blackout. And MMC VSC-HVDC system Reduced the loss importing foreign systems. And the benefits were calculated in four stages, and the costs were applied to the actual project. By evaluating the various avoidance costs compared to the benefit-cost, it was confirmed that MMC VSC-HVDC system was advantageous in system stability and economic and social benefits.
