Abstract: Due to the inverse distribution of energy resources and productivity in China, the energy bases and the load centers are about 1 000 to 4 000 kilometers apart from each other, which needs a wide range of optimal energy allocation to ensure energy supplies. During the 13th Five-Year period of power grid planning, UHV will have entered a rapid development period. The planned national grid (excluding Southern power grid), which has a structure of three sending ends(i.e. the Northwest, Northeast and Southwest power grids) and one receiving end(North China-Central China-East China UHV synchronous power grid) will take shape and features AC/DC hybrid power and multi-infeed HVDC systems. The power stability will face new challenges due to the upgrade of DC transmission capacity and the application of large capacity UHV transformers. Higher requirements on the frequency stability of sending power grids are put forward owing to the concentrated multiple HVDC transmission to the load centers. The security assessment in aspects of short circuit current, static security, transient stability, dynamic stability and voltage stability made by the State Grid Simulation Center indicates that the main security and stability issues faced by the 13th Five-Year power grid planning will be effectively solved by the following countermeasures including the construction of strong AC and strong DC power grid structure, the adoption of AC/DC coordination control strategy and the timely breakup of 1 000/500-kV electromagnetic looped networks.
