Abstract

Acombination of Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC) HVDC and voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC is proposed to supply an island system without any local generation. The key point of this integration is the flat characteristic of dc voltage of CCC-HVDC, which provides the condition for VSC to connect to CCC dc link via a current regulator. The advantages of proposed combined in feeding system are requiring only one dc line and having better dynamic responses. The structure of the proposed in feeding system as well as its control system is shown in this study. The simulation results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system. Two other schemes for in feeding the passive island systems are studied to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed system.
