AC/DC Hybrid Large-Scale Power Grid System Protection

This book systematically elaborates on the dealing technology of a special type of fault, the “cascading fault”, in the AC-DC hybrid large-scale power grid. The main contents include immunization distance protection for accident overload; distance protection that is immune to oscillation; inverter control technology to prevent long-term or continuous commutation failure; DC participation emergency power flow control technology used to share the accident transfer overload caused by inverter lockout; and overhead transmission line adaptive overload protection.

Overview.- Distance protection against overload.- Distance Protection Immune to Oscillation.- Prevention and Control of Commutation Failure.- DC Participation in Emergency Power Flow Control.- Adaptive Overload Protection for Overhead Transmission Lines.
