Abstract

This paper demonstrates the interoperability of an emerging alternate arm converter (AAC) with the state-of-the-art modular multilevel converter (MMC) in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems based on a hybrid VSC-HVDC system. The paper also showcases the parameter derivation of the hybrid HVDC system and its detailed control structure. The study provides preliminary steps towards detailed analysis of AAC interoperability in complex hybrid dc grid configurations. A detailed set of results based on the 800 MVA hybrid voltage source converter (VSC)-HVDC system showcases the interoperability performance of the AAC under different operating scenarios and verifies its associated control functions.
