High voltage direct current (HVDC) is one of the technologies in electrical transmission system. It is established as an alternative to AC transmission system. The main purpose ofthis project is to model and simulate the HVDC system by using software. The scope of this project is to cover the concepts about transmission system, specifically HVDC.In fact, familiarization with softwaresuch as ATPwill be covered too as it will assist in the modeling and simulation stage. The systematic approaches such as research, modeling, simulation, validation and troubleshooting in accomplishing this project are discussed in the chapter of methodology. Assessments on several softwares were conducted in order to identify the best software in studying the behavior of HVDC system. Besides that, data taken from real HVDC project, which is EGAT/TNB HVDC Interconnection Project, will be discussed too. Comparison between the simulated results and the real data were carried out in order to validate the findings from the simulation. Based on the evaluation made on the relevant software, it is found that ATP is the best software to be utilized in this project. Subsequently, simulations were conducted by using ATP and desired waveforms were obtained since they managed to resemble the real data and consistent with the theoretical concept.
