Abstract

The dynamic analysis of a mesh type multiterminal HVDC (m) transmission system including an artificially commutated inverter (ACI) with varistor protected series capacitors is carried out using digital simulation technique. The study shows that the varistor protection is feasible and improves the performance of normal rated inverters which connect weak ac systems. It reduces the magnitude of dynamic overvoltage and the peak direct current at the ACI during abnormal conditions resulting in a significantly improved dynamic performance of the MTDC system.
