The non-minimum-phase behavior of the weak grids connected VSCs is studied with transfer function-based methods. The model of the the weak grids connected VSC is firstly built with reduced-order multi-input multi-output (MIMO) representation. Then, the single-input single-output (SISO) model is further derived, without changing the structure and parameters of the studied system. The routh criterio...Show More
Unlike the conventional Line-Commuted Converter High Voltage Direct Current (LCC-HVDC) system, the Modular Multilevel Converter High Voltage Direct Current (MMC-HVDC) system experiences no commutation failures. It enables the transmission of islanded renewable energy generations (REGs) to the power grid. The Short-Circuit Ratio (SCR) is traditionally used to evaluate the strength of power systems ...Show More
Hybrid Cascaded Multi-Terminal HVDC (HC-MTDC) combines the advantages of Line Commutated Converters (LCC) and Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC). However, the coupling between LCC and MMC on the AC/DC side also brings new challenges. Additionally, the transient recovery characteristics after receiving-end AC grid faults adversely affect the DC fault clearance capability. Therefore, this paper ana...Show More

To achieve the carbon peak and neutrality goals, the power system is developing towards a power system with higher penetration of renewable power generations. The characteristics of the power electronic converters are different from the traditional synchronous generators which decreases the voltage support cap ability and brings a big challenge to the voltage control stability. Firstly the outer l...Show More
The simulation results show that in the process of switching the true bipolar MTDC system from point-to-point operation mode to the three-terminal operation mode, there is a high risk of oscillation overvoltage during the charging process of the unloaded DC transmission line. Firstly, the equivalent model that describes the charging process of the unloaded DC transmission line is built. And the ci...Show More
With the increasing adoption of renewable energy and HVDC transmission systems, the power system may experience large power fluctuations due to HVDC faults, potentially causing the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) or frequency deviation limit to be exceeded during the inertia response phase. The system’s ability to withstand these disturbances primarily depends on the amount of system inertia, ...Show More
In this letter, the phenomenon is found that there are non-minimum phase and “undershoot” behavior in grid-tied VSC, even if the outer loop is not applied. Based on the small-signal model, the mechanism that q-axis-related non-minimum phase behavior reduces VSC's stability and the “undershoot” behavior are analyzed in the letter. It is found that the q-axis current control dynamics of weak grid-ti...Show More
The new energy transmission system through flexible DC grid needs to have two operation modes–island mode and parallel operation conditions with the AC grid. Therefore, it is necessary to study the similarities and differences of the failure mechanism of the system under the two operation modes. Analyzing the risk of overvoltage and overcurrent during failure is also of vital importance. This stud...Show More

The grid impedance ratio X/R (GIR) and the short circuit ratio (SCR) are the indexes that widely applied to the stability analysis of power systems integrated with voltage source converters (VSC).

Low-frequency oscillations have been reported in several weak-grids-connected voltage-source-converter(VSC) systems. Although efforts have been devoted to understanding the parametric and sensitivity impact of the VSC controller gains, a general formulation of the oscillation mechanism is still missing. Using transfer function dynamic modelling approach, we find that the outer loop active power co...Show More
The grid impedance is widely recognized as the key factor to the stability of the grid-tied power electronic devices. However, the influence of the grid impedance ratio is always neglected due to the assumption that grid reactance is much large than grid resistance. In this paper, it is found that the grid impedance has a different impact on the stability with the reduction of grid impedance ratio...Show More
