Momentary interruption of power flow due to ac fault induced CF at inverter
HVDC Light InverterImproved voltage stability
Less limitations on inverter rating, recovery rate and system strength
Improved multiple-infeed performanceNo reactive power constraintsDistributed inverters to reduce
interconnection requirements

We expect both the JdF and West Coast Cable Projects to provide significant benefits to the electrical system in the Puget Sound area and the larger Northwestern Region, as well as access to coastal BC renewable resources.
