Abstract: When large-capacity HVDC (high voltage direct current) transmission line blocking occurs in a hybrid AC/DC (alternating current/direct current) power grid, the receiving-end system will encounter a huge power imbalance, which will lead to a frequency drop and redistribution of the power flow, and which may further lead to the overload of other transmission lines, cascading failures and a large-scale blackout. To resolve these problems, an emergency load-shedding strategy for the DC receiving-end system is proposed from the perspective of a quasi-steady state. The proposed method can accurately calculate the actual total power imbalance by modeling more detailed stochastic loads with static frequency/voltage characteristics and involving the inertia effect of the generator during the response delay period, which can effectively reduce the amount of load curtailment. In addition, several factors affecting the power imbalance estimation in stochastic scenarios and their mechanisms are analyzed in detail, and the key aspects relevant to the DC blocking fault analysis are identified as well. Finally, the influence of different load-shedding strategies on the receiving-end system security after a DC blocking fault is compared with the security indices, including those that are relevant to the frequency/load change proposed herein, and a uniform load-shedding coefficient is obtained via the proposed method, even for different power imbalances under a stochastic context, which makes the load-shedding strategy more practical.
