Abstract

An efficient model has been developed to simulate high voltage direct current (HVDC) power converters in real-time transient simulators. Real time performance of 45 μs per solution step has been achieved for a 12-pulse monopolar converter and 81 μs for the bipolar converter using a single processor Pentium Pro 200 MHz desktop computer. The HVDC power converter model is solved simultaneously with the power network. Simultaneous solution makes the model capable of sustained long-time simulation for real time testing of system performance and control functions
