This paper presents a method to find the fault location on the DC cables for the HVDC transmission systems which utilizes a hybrid topology of the diode rectifier and the voltage-source converter (VSC) in the wind farm (WF) side. First, the DC-cable fault occurring in this HVDC system is analyzed in detail. Then, the DC-cable fault location is detected from the two relative voltages located on the same section of the cable, which are estimated from a pair of DC-cable voltage and current measurements. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the simulation results.

Switching surges are a common type of phenomenon that occur on any sort of power system network. These are more pronounced on long transmission lines and in high voltage converter stations. At AC/DC hybrid transmission lines, the insulation coordination of such lines is mainly dictated by the peak level of switching surges, the most dangerous of which include three phase line energization and AC/DC converter station. The power system structure consist of AC/DC hybrid transmission lines which is combination of AC 765kV and ±500kV HVDC 1 bipole system for contingency analysis. The power system under study and its components are simulated using EMTDC software package, the effects of the various AC/DC mixing power lines are reviewed. The developed models of EMTDC conversion lines based on combination of AC/DC system are simulated and the characteristics of switching surge over-voltage from its results are discussed.

VSC-HVDC system is vulnerable to a DC fault because the fault current can be injected from AC system to DC system during the fault. Therefore, DC circuit breaker is required to isolate faults in VSC-HVDC system. The inverse current injection method of circuit breaker has been considered as DC circuit breaker. However, the topology has drawback that the breaking time is longer than hybrid circuit breaker using semiconductor devices. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved topology of circuit breaker based on inverse current injection method. In addition, the proposed topology will be compared with the existing topology. And we will verify its effects by using the simulation results.

This paper deals with the hybrid active filter which can reduce the 11th/13th harmonics in AC network by using the single tuned filter. Since the proposed algorithm uses the detuning compensation capability of the filter, the output voltage of the proposed active power filter is changed according to the capacitance of capacitors, magnitude of harmonic current, resonance frequency and control mode. In this paper, the control characteristics and the design of hybrid active filter is investigated. A new hybrid active filter with new algorithm, which is an active filter with single tuned filter instead of double tuned filter, is proposed.

Two non-conventional HVDC converter arrangements are compared. These include the Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC) in which series capacitors are included between the converter transformer and the valves, and the Controller Series Capacitor Converter (CSCC), based on more conventional topology, in which series capacitors are inserted between the AC filter bus and the AC network. Results show that both options have comparable steady state and transient performance. Danger of ferroresonance with the CSCC option is eliminated by controlling the amount of series compensation. The dynamic performance simulations is peformed by PSCAD/EMTDC

주파수가 다른 계통을 연계하거나, 장거리 선로 운전시 손실이 낮은 HVDC 송전은 환경문제로 인한 민원으로 새로운 선로건설을 위한 부지확보가 전 세계적으로 어려운 실정이다. 이 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 기존의 AC선로에 DC를 적용하여 동일철탑에 AC와 DC 선로를 같이 설치하는 하이브리드(Hybird) 선로가 제시되었다. 그러나 AC와 DC가 공존한 상태에서의 전기환경기준이 제시되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국내에서 운용중인 345kV 2회선 철탑에 DC선로를 적용한 하이브리드 선로의 축소모델을 제작하였고, DC선로의 도체 구성별 하이브리드 선로의 이온류 특성을 시험하였다.
