Simulation & Analysis of Multigrid HVDC System Using Statcom Device

Abstract

This research paper aims to comprehensively examine combining Multigrid High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems with Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) to improve power quality and system stability. Due to the growing need for effective power transmission, it is imperative to employ sophisticated technologies to address voltage fluctuations harmonic distortions, and enhance system reliability. The integration of STATCOMs in HVDC systems has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in tackling these difficulties. This paper analyses the theoretical underpinnings, operational characteristics, and benefits of integrating STATCOMs into Multigrid HVDC systems. Furthermore, the proposed system undergoes simulation studies and case analyses to assess its performance across different operating conditions and contingencies. The results emphasize the notable enhancements in voltage regulation, power factor correction, and system stability attained by the collaborative functioning of Multigrid HVDC systems with STATCOMs. The research findings significantly contribute to the knowledge and comprehension of hybrid power system configurations, providing valuable insights for the development and execution of future high-voltage direct current (HVDC) infrastructure.
