Resilience is a critical aspect of urban power grid modernization. VSC-HVDC solutions offer advanced technology options for urban grid enhancement with integrated system benefits. This paper introduces a method for operating VSC-HVDC intertie under emergency conditions. The proposed emergency power controller (EPC) performs real-time network condition assessments and activates appropriate grid support functions to reduce the impacts of the disturbances and mitigate the risk of spread outages. Simulations studies are performed using a realistic urban power system.
