Low-frequency resonance may seriously threaten the stable operation of a long-distance ultra-high-voltage-direct-current (UHVDC) system. In this paper, the impedance model of long-distance UHVDC systems was analyzed for various disturbances. For different disturbances, the positions of voltage sources in the simulated DC loop are different. Taking the first +/- 1100-kV DC power transmission project with a length of 2688 km as an example, the frequency characteristics of the DC-loop impedance were studied using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform. The effects of various operating modes and the firing angle of the converters on impedance-frequency characteristics of the DC loop were discussed. The effect of the length of DC transmission lines on the DC-loop resonant frequency was studied. The distance is the most important factor determining the system low-frequency resonance. Faults in an AC grid, such as phase-to-phase short-circuit and single-phase faults, are shown to produce 50-Hz positive sequence harmonics on the AC side and 100-Hz disturbances in the DC loop. Two methods of mitigating low-frequency resonance were proposed and the effects simulated. Installation of the blocking filter in the neutral bus of the converter station can reduce the amplitude of the resonance overvoltage.
