France-Spain HVDC transmission system with hybrid modular multilevel converter and alternate-arm converter

Abstract:

Modular Multilevel Converter (M²C) and Alternate-Arm Converter (A²C) are the prevalent types of voltage-source converter (VSC) topology for HVDC applications. A novel model of the VSC using hybrid Modular M²C and A²C is proposed in this paper. This new model is applied to high-voltage direct current (HVDC) - transmission system links between France and Spain which has 320 kV, 2000 MW HVDC transmission system by inserting M²C in sending end and A²C in receiving end. The hybrid models are interconnecting two 400 kV high-voltage AC grids.
