The priority to reactive power contribution from the Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection to support the grid during faults as suggested by the modern Network Code (NC) for HVDC affects the distance protection of transmission lines. Moreover, suppressing the negative sequence current during an unbalanced condition also interferes with the proper operation...
There are limited spaces for the fast increasing, highly concentrated loads in urban distribution networks. This paper proposes a medium voltage hybrid AC/DC distribution network, in which some AC lines are converted to DC ones, and interconnected with voltage source converter (VSC). A control strategy is also established to increase transfer capacity and DG accommodation. The economic evaluation...
A formal analysis of torsional interactions -a form of subsynchronous resonance (SSR)- in series-compensated systems featuring voltage source converter (VSC) based high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) links are investigated in this paper. Two ac/dc systems are studied. The first one consists of the IEEE First Benchmark Model for SSR studies which has been upgraded with a point-to-point VSC-based HVDC...
Offshore wind power generation is expected to increase in the following years, but there are still some economic and technical challenges to overcome. Because of the difficult access to the offshore facilities, the reduction of maintenance is an essential point. The use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSG) is considered a suitable option in this wind farm topology to satisfy this purpose...
Increased offshore wind penetration has raised the need of multi-terminal high-voltage direct-current (MTDC) grids. An MTDC system will enable cross-border energy exchange where the excessive energy can be transferred between countries, increasing the functionality and reliability of the network. However, as the number of terminals and branches increases, power flow management becomes a challenge...
Given the global changes in energy generation and transmission, flexible multi-terminal HVDC networks have the potential to offer energy transfer from diverse and isolated generation sources, particularly offshore wind. In this review paper, the characteristics and control philosophies of multi-terminal networks are discussed and relevant applications are asserted. Future challenges for the widespread...
Voltage source converter multi-terminal HVDC transmission (MTDC) for the connection of large offshore wind farms to the terrestrial grid is investigated. The voltage-current characteristics of converters for MTDC are presented. A control system for a four-terminal HVDC system is designed and simulated under both normal and abnormal operating conditions.
