   Abstract:  A forced commutated inverter used for tapping energy to a remote load from a dc line running through a rural area is presented and a study conducted on Manitoba hydro's electromagnetic transients program is described.  It is shown that a passive load requiring real and reactive power can easily be supplied. The tap itself is capable of responding quickly to changes of load without a communication link to the main converter terminals.  The tap is able to recover easily from all anticipated faults and disturbances taking place in its own system as well as at the main converter terminals.

   Abstract:  Previous researchers have analysed the forced commutated HVDC inverter and have concluded that it could be used to meet the reactive power at the inverter terminals.  This investigation is a further technical appraisal involving a two terminal transmission scheme to a remote load with no ac generation at the load.  Several possible inverter configurations are discussed.  An electromagnetic transients program is used to model the system and simulate such aspects as start up, ac and dc faults and speed of response to voltage and frequency controls.  The results indicate that such a scheme is indeed technically feasible and may be quite attractive from an economic and reliability point of view.

   Abstract:  A new technique is presented for interfacing electrical machine models with electromagnetic transients programs.  The machine models with their associated controls, loads of turbines can be assembled as subroutines by the user and interfaced to the electrical network or other machine models directly.  The machine models employ the standard state variable equations and may use any integration technique for solution.  The technique does not require a Thevenin equivalent circuit of the electrical network.
