Abstract

The power transferred through high voltage direct current transmission (HVdc) systems is increasing with increased resilience and reliability needs as well as large scale deployment of renewable energy systems. In this paper, a new HVdc substation (SS) architecture with higher power transfer capability is proposed. The HVdc converters or valve groups (VG) are connected in series and parallel fashion such that the total power rating of the SS is increased. The control challenges associated with such SS architecture are identified and appropriate control modifications are proposed. The same is verified through PSCAD based simulations.
