Abstract :
A new simulator laboratory has been developed by ALSTOM Grid to provide a research and development facility for Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC technologies. The low power analogue simulator contains a complete point to point VSC HVDC scheme, including digital controllers for each station. The function of the simulator is to provide a rapid prototyping facility for control algorithms and proving of VSC topologies.
