Study on the Influence of GIC on Power System Voltage
The influence of Direct Current(DC) bias caused by Geomagnetism Induced Current(GIC) on power system voltage is studied in view of the phenomenon that the power system voltage decreases when geomagnetic storms occur.A GIC-DC bias simulation model is established based on the PSCAD/EMTDC software.A low frequency sinusoidal alternating current is used to simulate GIC in this model.The transformer reactive power and the system voltage are recorded correspondingly.The influence of GIC on the generator output is studied.And the influence of DC current on voltage is compared with GIC.The results show that
the transformer reactive power demand will increase periodically with the increase of GIC
while resulting in periodic decrease of the system voltage which the maximum decrease of about 10%.At the same time
the active output reduces and the reactive power increases of the generator.The DC current is proportional to the system voltage
and the maximum decrease is about 13%
because the voltage of the reactive power compensation device will gradually recover
