• The power injections (Pi)in a DC grid are controlledby the converters.
• On a MTDC grid asSupergrid, the power flowinto, or out of, eachconverter can bedynamically changedwithout anyreconfiguration of theHVDC grid.
• The objective of thispaper is to establish theeffects of groundingconfigurations on steady-state post-contingencyperformance of multi-Terminal HVDC System.

• System Configuration:
• A simple MTDC test system is used in this paper for demonstrativespurposes:3-terminal, ±200kVdc, VSC-HVDC.
• Network Model: DC cable between two nodes (e.g. i and j) arerepresented using a single series resistor Rij. DC side of converter stationsare modelled by an ideal dependant voltage source and ideal ground isrepresented as an ideal point where voltages is zero. All electricalquantities are represented using per unit systems. The mathematicmodelling of some grounding configuration of MTDC systems arepresented here.

The converter voltage (Ui) can be expressed
in terms of the terminal potentials:
Ui(+) represents electrical potential of the
transmission terminal and Ui(0) is used to define
potential of the neutral terminal.
For this specific case, monopolar configuration
with ideal ground return, the voltage at the neutral
point (0) is connected to ideal ground where the
electric potential is assumed zero, U(0) = 0, as
consequence: U(0) = U.

T is the DC voltage
vector and G is also known as the DC nodal admittance matrix (Gij, i, j = 1, …ndc).
The current injections I are not known prior to the power flow solution for the DC network.
The vector P = [P1, P2, ...,Pndc]T, which refers to power flow into the DC grid via the DC
terminals, is given by
where the symbol is entry-wise (point-to-point) matrix multiplication operator.
Equation is known as the power balance equation and it can be solved in order to obtain
the classical power flow solution of the MTDC system.

A MATLAB® R2014a (64-bit) program (m-file) has been developed for this very
specific propose. Interior-point algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem in
this paper. Bound constraints are considered in all simulations in order to ensure a secure
system operation (0.90 < Udc < 1.10 p.u).
Numerical results of N-1 contingency analysis in DIgSILENT PowerFactory v15.2.4 are
used for comparative purposes.
(Rgnd1 = 1, Rgnd2 = 2, Rgnd3 = 3).

• Minimal numerical discrepancies between the DIgSILENTPowerFactory and proposed method. The largest numericaldifference in post-contingency states is below 0.002 p.u, asconsequence, the proposed method can be used with minordiscrepancies.

DC cable outage is an important contingency because create an important change on the
power flows (magnitudes and directions) in the DC-transmission system and post-
contingency is interesting from the grounding point of view.

• Case I: bipolar ideal earth return (Rgnd =0).
• Case II, bipolar earth return (Rgnd1 = 1, Rgnd2 = 2, Rgnd3 = 3)
• Case III: bipolar (no ground return).
Simulations are based on simple contingency, DC cable outage.
• Case I, ideal return: the lowest post contingency DC voltages.
• It should be noticed the use of bipolar configuration without any grounding connection
provides the highest post-contingency DC voltages.
• It must recognised the benefits of using earth path return in asymmetrical DC systems.
• There are two major positive impacts: it helps to control post-contingency dc voltages
and also provided alternative current path helping on the power flow distribution on
weakly connected DC terminals.

• Selection of final grounding scheme and grounding resistorsrequires a complete DC system analysis.
• Grounding configuration affects the performance of the MTDCsystem virtually in any possible mode: normal (asymmetricaloperation) and abnormal operation (faults), steady-state anddynamic.
• This paper has two contribution
1. to introduce a simple optimization-based-approach to calculate the steady-state post-contingency of MTDC systems and
2. to use that approach in order to illustrate basic effects of groundingconfigurations on steady-state post-contingency performance.
• A 3-terminal HVDC system is used to formulate the maintheoretical framework for performance prediction on post-contingency steady-state of MTDC system as well as fordemonstrative purposes.
