Abstract

This paper presents a steady state performance analysis carried out to study the behavior of a two VSC-based operating as a single-input single output HVDC link. The digital model of the HVDC link has been implemented and evaluated using PSCAD/EMTDC. The emphasis of this research work has been focused on evaluating the transference of active power from the rectifying station to the inverting station as well as the influence of the modulation index over the total harmonic distortion (THD).
