A quantitative assessment method for degree of transient stability coupling of DC and AC transmission sections

Along with increasing operation of DC, the coupling degree between DC and AC power systems is more tightly and the influence with each other is more closely. It has great significance on improving the level of coordinated optimization control of power system security and stability and online auxiliary decision-making for evaluating the degree of transient stability coupling between DC and AC transmission sections quantitatively, and then searching automatically and identify the more closely related AC transmission sections with the transient stability coupling between DC and AC transmission sections. The transient stability coupling mechanism between DC and AC trans mission sections is revealed by the theory of Extended Equal Area Criterion. On this basis, the matrix of transient stability margin of the dominant generators image of AC transmission sections is established through different DC power disturbances, and then the curves can be fitted with least square method. The curve slopes reflect quantitatively the transient stability coupling between DC and AC transmission sections. Finally the example demonstrated the effectiveness of the method.
