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.
