A Corrective Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow Method For Ac/Dc Hybrid Systems Based On Mmc-Hvdc

This paper presents an optimal power flow (OPF) model for AC/DC meshed networks with Modular Multilevel Converter based High Voltage Direct Current (MMC-HVDC) system. The OPF problem is formulated to minimize the total network loss of the whole AC/DC grids by adjusting generators and modular multilevel converters considering N-1 constraints and post-contingency corrective control. A practical method is proposed to handle N-1 static security constraints and corrective control with OPF more effectively. Simulations are conducted on IEEE 39-bus testing system and a practical power grid. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
