Towards the Flexibility of HVDC-Interconnected Systems: A Novel Emergency Freqeuncy Response Model

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-time scale emergency frequency response model by unlocking the flexibility of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems. Unlike assigning power ramping rates for FACTS to regulate frequency in traditional methods, this paper designs a step-change electromagnetic power frequency response (EPFR) scheme, by leveraging the temporal over/under DC voltage capability of HVDC. Wherein the Kullback-Leibler Divergence is adopted to convexify the modified swing equation after integrating the step-change power. Further, to avoid the complicated differential equations, we equivalently reformulate the duration limits of DC voltage deviation into the HVDC decreasing power ramping rates, which participate in the system primary frequency response. Finally, the new steady-state operation level of HVDC is involved with the secondary frequency response. As a result, an improved three-level algorithm is developed to solve the model, wherein the instant step-change, primary, and secondary frequency response are coordinated together. After applying the proposed frequency response scheme on the test system, the EPFR is validated to effectively provide the most instantaneous supports when faced with bulk power loss due to extreme contingencies, and the resilience is ensured within acceptable expenditures.

High-temperature Superconducting Interconnects for Ultra-low Temperature, High-field Environments

Coplanar (with the ground) 20 cm long waveguides are manufactured from the YBCO-on-Kapton material. We investigate the effect of parasitic ground plane resonances on the performance of these waveguides. Here, it is concluded that dense rows stitching vias are essential for isolating the lines to a level below 60 dB at 6 GHz. We demonstrate a metalized via technology that is compatible with both the traditional Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) process and the epitaxial YBCO material. Stitching via fence with the via period 10 mm is shown as effective in suppressing parasitic resonances at 77 K.
