Introduction Due to its flexibility and rapid control ability, voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) technology can be used in asynchronous grid interconnection, renewable energy grid-connection, and urban grid power supply. In this paper, the flexible and compact interconnection scheme of urban power grid is proposed to realize the interconnection and improve safety and stability of the urban power grid.
Method According to the current situation of the power grid, and considering the difficulty of implementing new transmission lines in urban areas and the difficulty of controlling the construction period, the site selection and interconnection scheme were carried out from the perspective of exploiting potential of existing substations and transmission lines. The interconnection scale was determined comprehensively by combining the system requirements, the transmission capacity of the original lines, and the feasibility of capacity increase transformation. Due to the shortage of urban land, compact equipment and indoor compact layout was recommended.
Result The flexible and compact back-to-back converter station is adopted to realize the interconnection, significantly reduce the short-circuit current level of the system and improve the security and stability of the urban power grid. The compact design which can save about 40% of the space is adopted to meet the need to alleviate the scarcity of urban land resources.
Conclusion The compact and flexible interconnection proposed plays a good role in guiding the application of VSC-HVDC technology in urban power grid interconnection and has high reference value.
