Abstract :
This paper presents a simulation study of the proposed Frontier line from Wyoming to California through Utah and Nevada as a multi-terminal high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system. A four-terminal HVDC link is modeled with one terminal in each state. Various faults are simulated at different locations of the transmission link to observe the dynamic performance of the system. Results from the simulation study show that a multi-terminal HVDC link is technically feasible from Wyoming to California.
