Abstract
The use of voltage source converter-based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems is considered to be a major step in facilitating long-distance power transfer and integrating remotely located renewable energy sources to major consumption centers. First introduced in 1997, with the commissioning of a 3 MW technology demonstrator in Sweden [1], VSC technology has improved drastically over the years in terms of power and voltage rating, harmonic performance, and losses [2, 3].
