Analytical Expression on Transient Overvoltage Peak Value of Converter Bus Caused by DC Faults

Abstract

This letter proposes an analytical expression on transient overvoltage peak value caused by DC blocking (DCB) and commutation failure (CF). The proposed method can obtain the transient overvoltage risk without modeling the complex AC/DC hybrid system. The method only requires the equivalent parameters of the AC system and the operation parameters of the DC system to effectively calculate the overvoltage without using the dynamic simulation software. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method.
