Background The energy paradigm worldwide is shifting to one that prioritize reduction of
carbon since Paris Agreement. In addition, the conversions into renewableenergy sources as well as into grid connection are also progressing rapidly.
The theory is provided for more rational planning by considering theuncertainty of wind turbine generators (WTGs), which have highly variableoutput, as well as the forced outage rates (FOR) of generators, transmissionlines, and HVDC.
This paper proposes composite power system reliability evaluation usingCMELDC (Composite Power System Equivalent Load Duration Curve) (Nodaleffective load model). This paper considering uncertainties model (Multi-state)of WTG.
This study also proves the efficiency of the proposed method by applying it topractical HVDC expansion planning (between mainland and Jeju island) for Jejuisland power system in South Korea.

Reliability Evaluation at HLII including WTG
The HVDC expansion plan is one of the grid plans. Therefore, it is not
easy to evaluate the reliability of HLII including the transmission system.

3) Reliability indices at the load points(buses)
The reliability index in HLII calculates the power system and individual
reliability indices. First, the reliability index at the load point can be formulated
as follows Eq. (1) to (3) using the effective load probability distribution function
as follows.

4) Reliability indices of the bulk system (Composite power system)
While the EENSHLII of a bulk system is equal to the summation of the EENSk at
the load points as shown in Eq. (4), the LOLE of a bulk system is entirely
different from the summation of the LOLEk at the load points. Fortunately,
because the ELCHLII (Expected load curtailed) of bulk system is equal to the
summation of ELCk at the load points as shown in Eq. (5), an equivalent defined
LOLEHLII of the bulk system can be calculated using Eq. (6).

MULTI-STATE OPERATION MODEL OF WTG
Fig. 5 shows the relationship between the power output of a WTG and the
wind speed, where, Vci is the cut-in speed[m/sec], VR the rated speed [m/sec],
Vco the cut-out speed [m/sec], and PR the rated power [MW].

Wind speeds vary both in time and space. It has been reported that the actual
wind speed distribution can be described by a Weibull probability distribution
and approximated by a normal distribution. This study uses the normal
probability distribution function to model the wind speed in terms of the mean
wind speed value μ and the standard deviation σ as shown Fig. 6.

In all cases, it can be estimated that bus 11 is most advantageous. However, in this case,
there is a difficulty in constructing the #3 HVDC because it is required to traverse the
existing #1 HVDC. Therefore, it is considered that #3 HVDC is reasonably superior to bus
10.

As HVDC facilities in power systems has increased, the importance of
reliability evaluation considering this has increased.
Thus, this study proposed a method for establishing HVDC expansion plans
from the perspective of reliability using ComRel of a reliability evaluation
program in HLII developed by a simple method.
This study considered not only forced outage rates (FOR) of generators,
transmission lines, and HVDC but also the uncertainty of WTG with large
variability of output.
It is considered possible to apply this to the establishment of HVDC
expansion plans considering system connections of renewable energy
sources.

RELIABILITY EVALUATION MODEL FOR HVDC SYSTEM As shown in Figure, a typical HVDC converter consists of a series/parallel
and mixed system.
In Figure 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, refer to AC Switchyard, AC Filters,
Capacitor Banks, Converter Transformers, Thyristor Valves, Smoothing
Reactors, DC Filters, and DC Switchyard.

For reference, Figure shows a 6-pulse

type HVDC converter. This is the
basic structure for understanding the
operation of the HVDC converter.

If the spare factor is “S” and the minimum number of components the
system operates “K”, the total number of components “N” in the system is
formalized as shown in Equation (1).

K out of N system The HVDC transformers will have spare parts in case of failure of the
configuration facilities such as the thyristor and transformers to enhance
their operational reliability. In this paper, the present method for
calculating the probability of systematic failure rate (=unavailability)
considering these component margins was redefined and these status
space sequences were formalized.
In a system consisting of N components, if the system is capable of
performing its functions with more than K components, this is called the
"K out of N" system.

System with a Single Spare A system with “n” identical components and single space can be represented
using four states designated as 0, 1, 2 and 3, with each state defined as follows:
- State 0: System operation, replacement available
- State 1: System outage, replacement available
- State 2: System operation, no replacement available
- State 3: System outage, no replacement available.
A schematic representation of the above conditions is shown in figure, with each
variable defined as follows.
- n : the total number of components in the system
- λ : Outage rate of each component
- R : Replacement time of parts, spare available
- r : Component repair time

It can be seen that the reliability of the system is
improved as the spare element is present and the
replacementtimeisreduced.
As shown in Figure, the repair time (r) has little
influence on the system as compared with the
system with a single spare system. This is
probably because of two spares.

Conclusions In this paper, the suggested method for calculating the systematic system
outage (=unavailability) considering the number of spares of the HVDC
system is redefined and formulated as a state space matrix.
We propose an algorithm to estimate the system outage with a single
spare and two spare systems and to perform a sensitivity analysis on the
system reliability by using HDCSR program (HVDC Converter Station
Reliability Program) were newly developed.
In addition, we will apply this to the actual system and analyze the
economic feasibility according to the number of spare elements.
