Power sensitivity and algebraic technique for evaluation of penetration level of photovoltaic on DC link of VSC HVDC transmission

With the increased advent of VSC HVDC with long DC transmission link in power systems, situations have arisen and will be even more frequent in the future, where several distributed generation will be connected on the DC-link for more power transfer capability. As penetration level increases, there is need to predict the limit before violation of voltage and power instability on the DC transmission link and ensure that it does not interfere with the main VSC HVDC system control. In this paper, power sensitivity and algebraic technique is proposed to predict the maximum DG penetration that can be accepted at a particular location on the dc link of VSC HVDC transmission system before violation of voltage and power stability.
