Interaction between nearby VSC-HVDC converters, FACTs devices, HV power electronic devices and conventional AC equipment

Large integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and HVDC converters in power system have resulted in displacement of conventional power generation, lower system inertia and lower short circuit capacity of the AC power system. The AC grids integrates multiple converters in the close vicinity that potentially influence each other. The interoperability and stability of the system with massive amounts of converters is regarded as a key issue in future power systems and decarbonization of the industry. In recent years large-scale integration of solar, wind and HVDC converters, have resulted in several stability problems in the power system.
