  • Patent number: 12132315
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a parameter design method for a series passive impedance adapter applicable to a VSC-HVDC transmission system, to resolve the technical problem that high-frequency resonance may occur when impedance of a VSC-HVDC transmission system is mismatched with that of a sending-end or receiving-end grid. A parameter design goal of the present disclosure is that reactive power consumed by a series passive impedance adapter is not more than A times rated power of a converter, and a loss of the series passive impedance adapter in a fundamental wave is B times the rated power of the converter. The parameter design method for a series passive impedance adapter applicable to a VSC-HVDC transmission system in the present disclosure can realize a positive impedance characteristic within a concerned frequency band and completely eliminate a risk of harmonic resonance.
