A VSC-based Model for Power Flow Assessment of Multi-terminal VSC-HVDC Transmission Systems

This paper puts forward a new practical voltage source converter (VSC) based AC-DC converter model suitable for conducting power flow assessment of multi-terminal VSC-based high-voltage direct current (VSC-MTDC) systems. The model uses an advanced method to handle the operational limits and control...
