Single line to ground fault in Araraquara inverter Power in all inverters (LCC)

Multi infeed interaction to be taken into consideration Stability calculated with EMT software

• reactive power balance • harmonics • sub synchronous oscillation • HVDC station controls • multiple simultaneous commutation failure

IMPORTANT

Controllability may have in the future a dedicated dispatch system

B. EMT software Analysis (single phase to ground fault at Araraquara)

Risk of multiple commutation failures

Mitigation Alternatives

1. Increase of the inverter extinction angle from 18° to 24° (for LCC-HVDC, steady state). 2. Installation of additional synchronous condensers. 3. Installation of additional static compensators (STATCOM). 4. Use of CCC-HVDC instead of the LCC-HVDC in the inverters of the Belo Monte link. Type of inverter (LCC) 5. Use of VSC (Voltage Source Converters) instead of LCC based converte
