Active distribution power system with multi-terminal DC links

An active distribution power system with multi-terminal MVDC links is investigated in this paper. A sample system is established with 3 terminal MVDC links, which connect charging station and feeders. This active distribution power system benefits from a more flexible power flow control with high penetration of distributed generation and limited fault current. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink are provided to validate the system performance during fault.
