Virtual Control and Protection System in Real Time Software in the Loop

The power system is evolving at an unpreceded fast pace to accommodate increasing shares of renewable energy sources and cross-border interconnections. As a result, the power system is transitioning from a synchronous generation dominated system to a power electronics (PE) generation dominated system. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology enables this transition, offering superior controllability, reduced transmission losses, and increased transmission capacity. Therefore, Multi-Terminal DC (MTDC) systems are emerging as key infrastructure reinforcements.
