Meshing the AC distribution networks: the opportunities of MVDC links

The penetration of DC systems into distribution grids can increase the flexibility and controllability of power systems. The analyses consider grid management issues, i.e., grid overload conditions, for a typical urban AC distribution grid in mesh with MVDC connections using Voltage Source Converters (VSCs).

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analyses were performed with an optimization tool, and the results were evaluated by load insertion on lines and converters. In addition, the Load Shedding (LS) was evaluated against the total power supply load.
