Abstract

This chapter introduces different HVDC technologies used in HVDC systems with fundamental theories associated with each HVDC technology. The line commutated converter HVDC technology is introduced with details of different line commutated converter HVDC topologies and the fundamental operation principles of line commutated converter HVDC technology. Similarly, the voltage source converter HVDC technology is discussed in detail, including two-level, multi-level and modular multi-level converter topologies. Moreover, emerging HVDC technologies, such as hybrid LCC-VSC HVDC technology and a comparison between different VSC technologies are also presented in this chapter. Finally, this chapter presents power system stability classification with details on each stability phenomenon and a brief overview of analytical approaches used for assessing each stability issue.
