Modeling of converter transformers using frequency domain terminal impedance measurements

Abstract

Frequency-dependent node-to-node impedance function (NIF) models of power system equipment based on systematic broad frequency range (50 Hz to 1 MHz) external driving point impedance measurements are described. Such models are needed to calculate and predict the radio frequency electromagnetic (EM) noise produced by the valve ignition of a converter station. The application of the transformer frequency-domain NIF model related to HVDC converter station EM noise calculations is demonstrated. Calculated performance data are compared with field measurements.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
