The Gaspésie network is a regional part of Hydro-Quebec’s grid that feeds a small amount of load over a vast region. The grid is radially connected to the main 735 kV backbone and is characterised by the presence of series compensated lines, back-to-back line commutated converters (LCC), small loads, weak grid and high IBR penetration. With more IBRs planned to be added to the region, Hydro-Quebec benchmarked transfer limits obtained through PDT simulations with EMT to ensure reliable operation of the grid. This article aims to share our experience doing transfer limits studies using EMT, both in terms of phenomena observed as well as issues encountered and solutions.
