(a) Test network used to illustrate the viability of the hybrid multilevel voltage source converter HVDC systems; (b) active and reactivepower converter station 1 exchanges with PCC ; (c) active and reactive power converter station 2 exchanges with PCC ; (d) voltage magnitude at PCC ;(e) voltage waveforms at PCC ; (f) current waveforms converter station 1 exchanges with PCC ; (g) voltage across 21 cell capacitors of the three phases ofconverter 1; (h) voltage across the dc link of converter station 2.and converter 2 adjusts its reactive power exchange with gridin order support voltage at [see Fig. 4(d)]. The transientsshown of active and reactive powers at PCC2 are relatedto the reaction of the ac voltage controller that regulates the acvoltage at . Fig. 4(c) shows that the voltage magnitude atremains unaffected; confirming that the hybrid voltage
