الملخص EN

More and more dynamic reactive power devices (DRPDs) have been put into operation to improve voltage stability in AC/DC hybrid power system.

In order to make full use of these devices, this paper presented an optimization technology for multiple DRPDs’ coordinate operation in the receiving-end of AC/DC hybrid power system.

DRPDs’ steady-state reactive instructions are treated as optimization variables in the proposed model, while the objective is minimizing the successive times of HVDC’s commutation failure under a number of grounding faults.

Power flow constraints and electromechanical transient process are considered simultaneously.

Based on the characteristics of the model, commutation failure of HVDC under each grounding fault could be obtained by employing time-domain simulation method.

Furthermore, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to get DRPDs’ optimal reactive instruction in steady-state.

The simulation is done by considering Jiangsu power grid in eastern China, including synchronous condenser, STATCOM, and UPFC.

The results show that the proposed model and algorithm are corrective and effective.
