Multi-Terminal DC system performance evaluation using interconnected RTDS and OPAL RT System S. Acharya, A. Azidehak, M. Kashani, G. Chavan, K. Vechalapu, S. Bhattacharya Objectives 2.262 KV 3 Phase AC grid 2.262 KV 3 Phase AC grid cable AC-DC Station AC-DC Station (MMC) TR#3 TR#1 cable cable Recently Multi-terminal DC (MTDC) systems have received more attention in the power transmission areas. Development of modular structured power converter topologies has now enabled the power converter technology to attain high voltage high power rating. This prompted a change in the HVDC technology based on Voltage Source Converters. ADVANTAGES: For long distance power transmission HVDC yields more economical performance compared to an Equivalent AC system. Voltage Source Converter based terminals can provide flexibility in terms of active and reactive power Requirements for the AC grid.

Real time simulation platforms such as RTDS, OPAL RT gives a good platform to Validate the control of the system. But as the system keeps getting bigger the computation requirements goes high. Therefore interconnection between tow real time simulation platforms will provide flexibility in terms of system expansion.
