With rapid development of HVDC transmission system, the coupling relationship between the AC and DC power grid has become increasingly stronger. Especially, the problem of voltage instability is prominent in HVDC receiving-end system, the dynamic reactive power performance of the receiving-end power grid is inadequate. Therefore, the new-generation synchronous condenser (NGSC) as ‘a strong reactive power support device” is widely applied to high-capacity DC transmission system. However, there is a lack of coordination control strategy between the NGSCs and AC/DC power grid, so it is difficult to give full play to the reactive power supporting capacity of the NGSCs. In this paper, a coordinated multi-objective reactive control strategy between the NGSCs and the AC/DC power grid is proposed . In steady state, the initial reactive power optimization method of a NGSC is proposed. In transient state, a commutation failure suppression scheme of DC system based on the NGSCs and the DC control system is proposed. In transition process, the coordinated control strategy of the NGSCs with capacitance and reactance is studied. The research results provide theoretical basis for subsequent study on the safety and stability of AC/DC power grid.

Large-scale wind and solar power generations have got rapid development in recent years in China and abroad. They always connect to load centres through high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission or ultra HVDC (UHVDC) transmission lines. Such systems are so large and it is necessary to make appropriate equivalence according to the purpose of different research. At present, the analysis model of this kind of real system is few, and simplified single-machine infinite-bus system or IEEE example system is adopted most of the time, which may affect the accuracy of analysis results. Here, the UHVDC project from a practical renewable energy base to load centres in China is chosen as an example, the actual structure and parameters are used to establish a typical example system for AC/DC hybrid power grid with high-proportion renewable energy. The new-generation synchronous condenser with large capacity and the supporting synchronous generators are all considered. First, the installed power generation, power grid structure, and load configuration of example system are introduced. Then the load flow distribution and transient stability characteristics are analysed by using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed example system is shown by simulation results.
