This paper proposes an approach for selecting an optimal placement and control variable setting by finding the worst contingencies for the recently proposed Interline Direct Current Power Flow Controller (IDC-PFC) in MultiTerminal High-Voltage DC (MT-HVDC) Grids based on Max Flow- Min Cut Theory. It is for Optimal PFCs’ placements that purposes to optimize the maximum capacities of the transmission grid. Optimal settings for finding the most critical HVDC lines in a meshed grid and deciding where to place the PFC afterward. The controllable Voltage Source Converters (VSC)s are computed by applying a sequential quadratic programming solver in MatLab to the developed security-based DC optimal power flow problem including several corrective constraints.
