Simulation study of the CIGRE HVDC benchmark model with the WSCC nine-bus power system network

This paper presents a simulation study of the CIGRE high voltage direct current (HVDC) benchmark transmission system with the Western system coordinating council (WSCC) 3-machine, 9-bus power system network. The CIGRE HVDC benchmark system is embedded between generator-two and generator-three of the WSCC system to conduct the simulation. A three phase to ground fault on the AC side of the inverter is applied to study system responses such as settling time after the fault is cleared and the relative load angles.
