2 Presentation Layout: - Objectives - Test Systems - Component and Subsystem Models - Wind Power Plant Model - AC Network Equivalent Model - VSC-HVDC Converter Station Model - Control Hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) Structure - Conclusions

3 Objectives: Analysis and performance evaluation of control and protection strategies/algorithms in large HVDC-AC systems. Analysis of electromagnetic transients (emts)

4 Tasks: Development of HVDC-AC grid component models: - off-line simulation of emts (-5kHz) - real-time simulation of emts (-1kHz) Development of Control-HIL real-time simulation structure for the analysis of emts of large HVDC-AC emts (-1 khz)

5 Test Systems: - CIGRE VSC-HVDC Grid Test System - LCC-HVDC Segmented Grid

25 Conclusions Type-4 and Type-3 WPP s are efficiently and accurately modeled by a reduce-order equivalent for EMT studies. The frequency-dependent network-equivalent concept is used for single- and multi-port AC system reduction in large AC-DC systems. An RTDS-based augmented structure for Control-HIL of large AC-DC systems is being evaluated.
