  • Abstract
    The Blackwater back-to-back HVDC station in New Mexico was originally designed to control the AC voltage on the PNM side of the converter station during power transfers. A decision was made to be able to operate the station on the PNM side like an SVC when no power was being transferred. This paper presents a description of the design requirements implemented to modify the operation of the station to control the AC voltage when no power was being transferred through the station
