Load flow analysis of hybrid AC-DC power system with offshore wind power

摘要

The offshore wind power has received immense attention because of higher wind speed and lower opposition for construction. A wide range of combinations of high-voltage AC- DC transmission have been proposed for integrating offshore wind farms and long-distance power transmission. This paper is to model such hybrid AC-DC systems including the interfacing converters, which have several control parameters that can change the load flow of the hybrid systems. Then, the paper proposes a Load Flow algorithm based on the Newton-Raphson method, which covers three different section types of the transmission system: the AC parts, the DC parts and the interfacing converters. Finally, this paper validates this algorithm through a detailed case study with a typical hybrid network.
