Abstract :
A simulator study of a multiterminal HVDC system stretching from the La Grande 2 complex (near James Bay) in northern Quebec to Sandy Pond (near Boston) in Massachusetts is discussed. The study shows the impact of second-harmonic resonance on the AC side and 60 Hz resonance on the DC side on the transient performance of the system and the control and protection strategy. Recovery of the system following such disturbances was accompanied by a commutation failure at Comerford. The reasons for the failure and ways to assist recovery are discussed. DC-control-based techniques were found to be successful
