Protection against dc faults is one of the main technical hurdles faced when operating converter-based HVdc systems. Protection becomes even more challenging for multi-terminal dc (MTdc) systems with more than two terminals/converter stations. In this paper, a hybrid primary fault detection algorithm for MTdc systems is proposed to detect a broad range of failures. Sensor measurements, i.e., line currents and dc reactor voltages measured at local terminals, are first processed by a top-level context clustering algorithm. For each cluster, the best fault detector is selected among a detector pool according to a rule resulting from a learning algorithm. The detector pool consists of several existing detection algorithms, each performing differently across fault scenarios. The proposed hybrid primary detection algorithm: i) detects all major fault types including pole-to-pole (P2P), pole-to-ground (P2G), and external dc fault; ii) provides a wide detection region covering faults with various fault locations and impedances; iii) is more robust to noisy sensor measurements compared to the existing methods. Performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are evaluated and verified based on time-domain simulations in the PSCAD/EMTDC software environment. The results confirm satisfactory operation, accuracy, and detection speed of the proposed algorithm under various fault scenarios.

This paper presents a decentralized controller for sharing primary AC frequency control reserves through a multi-terminal HVDC grid. By using Lyapunov arguments, the proposed controller is shown to stabilize the equilibrium of the closed-loop system consisting of the interconnected AC and HVDC grids, given any positive controller gains. The static control errors resulting from the proportional controller are quantified and bounded by analyzing the equilibrium of the closed-loop system. The proposed controller is applied to a test grid consisting of three asynchronous AC areas interconnected by an HVDC grid, and its effectiveness is validated through simulation.
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is an increasingly commonly used technology for long-distance electric power transmission, mainly due to its low resistive losses. In this paper the voltage-droop method (VDM) is reviewed, and three novel distribute d controllers for multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission systems are proposed. Sufficient conditions for when the proposed controllers render the equilibrium of the closed-loop system asymptotically stable are provided. These conditions give insight into suitable controller architecture, e.g., that the communication graph should be identical with the graph of the MTDC system, including edge weights. Provided that the equilibria of the closed-loop systems are asymptotically stable, it is shown that the voltages asymptotically converge to within predefined bounds. Furthermore, a quadratic cost of the injected currents is asymptotically minimized. The proposed controllers are evaluated on a four-bus MTDC system.
Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are widely used in the design of modern high-voltage direct current (HVdc) transmission system. High-fidelity dynamic models of MMCs-based HVdc system require small simulation time step and can be accurately model ed in electro-magnetic transient (EMT) simulation programs. The EMT program exhibits slow simulation speed and limitation on the size of the model and brings certain challenges to test the high-fidelity HVdc model in system-level simulations. This paper presents the design and implementation of a hybrid simulation framework, which enables the co-simulation of the EMT model of Atlanta-Orlando HVdc line and the transient stability (TS) model of the entire Eastern Interconnection system. This paper also introduces the implementation of two high-fidelity HVdc line models simulated at different time steps and discusses a dedicated method for sizing the buffer areas on both sides of the HVdc line. The simulation results of the two HVdc models with different sizes of buffer areas are presented and compared.
Generalized short circuit ratio (gSCR) for gird strength assessment of multi-infeed high voltage direct current (MIDC) systems is a rigorous theoretical extension of traditional short circuit ratio (SCR), which allows the considerable experience of u sing SCR to be extended to MIDC systems. However, gSCR was originally derived based on the assumption of homogeneous MIDC systems, where all HVDC converters have an identical control configuration, which poses challenges to the applications of gSCR to inhomogeneous MIDC systems. To weaken this assumption, this letter applies modal perturbation theory to explore the possibility of applying gSCR in inhomogeneous MIDC systems. Results of numerical experiments show that, in inhomogeneous MIDC systems, the previously proposed gSCR can still be used without modification, but critical gSCR (CgSCR) needs to be redefined by considering the characteristics of HVDC converter control configurations. Accordingly, the difference between gSCR and redefined CgSCR can effectively quantify the pertinent ac grid strength in terms of static voltage stability margin. The performance of our proposed method is demonstrated in a triple-infeed inhomogeneous LCC-HVDC system.

Due to the wide application of average consensus algorithm, its security and privacy problems have attracted great attention. In this paper, we consider the system threatened by a set of unknown agents that are both malicious and curious, who add add itional input signals to the system in order to perturb the final consensus value or prevent consensus, and try to infer the initial state of other agents. At the same time, we design a privacy-preserving average consensus algorithm equipped with an attack detector with a time-varying exponentially decreasing threshold for every benign agent, which can guarantee the initial state privacy of every benign agent, under mild conditions. The attack detector will trigger an alarm if it detects the presence of malicious attackers. An upper bound of false alarm rate in the absence of malicious attackers and the necessary and sufficient condition for there is no undetectable input by the attack detector in the system are given. Specifically, we show that under this condition, the system can achieve asymptotic consensus almost surely when no alarm is triggered from beginning to end, and an upper bound of convergence rate and some quantitative estimates about the error of final consensus value are given. Finally, numerical case is used to illustrate the effectiveness of some theoretical results.
