The grounding system is extremely important, as it affects the performance of the MTDC system virtually in any possible mode: normal (asymmetrical operation) and abnormal operation (faults), steady-state and dynamic. The objective of this paper is to introduce a simple approach to assess the steady-state post-contingency of multi-Terminal HVDC System and uses it order to illustrate the effects of grounding configurations on steady-state post-contingency performance. A 3-terminal HVDC system is used to formulate the main theoretical framework for performance prediction on post-contingency steady-state of MTDC system as well as for demonstrative purposes
