Interoperability of Modular Multilevel and Alternate Arm Converters in Hybrid HVDC Systems

Interoperability of Modular Multilevel and Alternate Arm Converters in Hybrid HVDC Systems

This paper demonstrates the interoperability of an emerging alternate arm converter (AAC) with the state-of-the-art modular multilevel converter (MMC) in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems based on a hybrid VSC-HVDC system. The paper also showcases the parameter derivation of the hybrid HVDC...
