“…However, there has been a tremendous growth of the HVDC transmission system due to economic, environmental and performance advantages over the other alternatives. Hence, it has been applied widely in operating a dc link in parallel with an ac link (Padiyar, 1990;Brecur and Hanth, 1988;Nasser and Vanslcky, 1995;Ganapathy and Velusami, 2010) interconnecting control areas to get an improved system dynamic performance with greater stability margins under small disturbances in the system (Kumar and Ibraheem, 2004). Only scantily information is available on LFC of interconnected power systems connected via HVDC link in parallel with ac link.…”
