Modeling and Simulation of HVDC Transmission Systems provides a comprehensive guide to the design, analysis, and operation of modern high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. With the growing integration of large-scale renewable generation and electrified loads, HVDC has emerged as a key technology for efficient, flexible, and reliable power transmission and interconnection.
The book covers both line-commutated converter (LCC) HVDC and voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC technologies, emphasizing the modeling and simulation methods required to handle their nonlinear and multi-timescale characteristics. Chapters include:
-
Fundamentals and development of HVDC transmission
-
General practices in HVDC modeling and simulation
-
Electromagnetic modeling of LCC and VSC HVDC systems
-
Electromechanical transient and dynamic simulations
-
Small-signal and hybrid modeling techniques
-
Real-time simulation and control of HVDC systems
-
Case studies and practical application examples
Designed for engineers, researchers, and advanced students, this work provides the essential tools for analyzing, designing, and operating HVDC transmission systems in modern power grids.
