Experience with modeling MTDC systems in transient stability programs

A typical AC/DC transient stability program is used to illustrate the selection of DC system and control models for multiterminal DC (MTDC) studies. Experience with developing and using the models is emphasized rather than their implementation within particular programs. Three models with different degrees of detail are presented. Typical applications of different models are discussed in the context of early planning studies of the Hydro-Quebec New England shunt MTDC interconnection.<
