Real-Time Simulation of a Simulink/SimPowerSystems model of a Bipolar HVDC System using ARTEMiS and RT-LAB

A model of a detailed bipolar HVDC system, developed using Simulink/SimPowerSystems and executed in Real-Time using RT-LAB and ARTEMiS.
A 1000 MW (±500 kV, 1kA per pole) DC link is used to transmit power from a 500 kV, 5000 MVA, 60 Hz network (SCR of 5) to a 345 kV, 10 000 MVA, 50 Hz network (SCR of 10).

DEMONSTRATION MODEL Description
This demo models a detailed bipolar HVDC system.
A 1000 MW (±500 kV, 1kA per pole) DC link is used to transmit power from a 500 kV, 5000 MVA, 60 Hz network (SCR of 5) to a 345 kV, 10 000 MVA, 50 Hz network (SCR of 10). The rectifiers and the inverters are composed of one (1) 12-pulse converter per pole.
The rectifiers and the inverters are interconnected through 300 km distributed parameter lines and two 0.5 H smoothing reactors. The reactive power required
by the converters is provided by a set of capacitor banks plus 11th, 13th and high pass filters for a total of 600 MVAR on each side. Two circuit breakers are used to apply faults on the inverter AC side and rectifier DC side.
At the inverter side, a resonant RLC circuit is included to study controller interaction. This circuit is modeled without SPS so the inverter-side grid impedance Z, defined by short-circuit power, resonance frequency and damping, are continuously adjustable during run-time.
