HVDC Link Ratings for 400 kV Busbars?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling an HVDC link connected to 400 kV busbars using ETAP 7.5, where users encounter a calculation error related to mismatched voltage ratings. The error message indicates that the HVDC rectifier output or inverter input voltage does not align with the rated kV. Participants seek guidance on appropriate settings for the HVDC link ratings page to resolve this issue. Suggestions include ensuring that the specified rated value does not exceed 400 kV and considering lower values if necessary. Proper configuration of these settings is crucial for successful load flow analysis.

I have been using etap 7.5 demo and have been trying to model an HVDC link connected to 2 buses and conduct a load flow analysis (there is also a generator in swing mode attached to one bus and a normal transmission line connecting the two buses to satisfy the simulation requirements), but it comes up with a pop up error saying calculation error "Calcluation aborted due to HVDC rectifier output or Inverter input kV not matching rated kV".

I am unsure of what settings to use for the ratings page for the HVDC link. The busbars I am connecting to are set to 400 kV.

Does anyone have an example of settings for the HVDC link ratings page that would allow this to operate ?

Thanks

maybe your value 400kv out of range?
use specified rated value or lower value
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
