A Department of Energy study showed wind power generation may reach 330 GW and 20% penetration of total energy production by 2030. Of this, 54 GW of wind power will be generated at offshore wind power plants. The deployment of offshore wind power plants requires power transmission from the plant to the load center inland. Depending on the distance to shore, the use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC)...
In Europe, a large amount of offshore wind power is expected to be built. Today, there is about 3,5 GW of offshore wind power capacity installed, and potential has been identified to an increase to 150 GW on-and offshore wind power by 2030. About half of European offshore wind is expected to be built in the North Seas, about 60–80 GW by 2030. Some of the sites will be far from shore, requiring the...
To reduce emission of carbon dioxide the proportion of renewable energies is rapidly growing in German and European grids in general. Additionally, the bulk of them are generated in only a few spots in European transmission grid, whereas conventional power plants will shut down and the load center distribution will still be decentralized. This results in the need of a new and powerful transmission...
This paper, based on the Northeast Asia (NEA) power system interconnection, presents an integration of renewable generation (RG), demand response (DR) or distributed generation (DG), high-voltage direct-current (HVDC), and nuclear power plant load-following operation under Smart Grid (SM) in the South Korean power system. The reliable power system depends on considering the reliability that affect...
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC technologies present a bright opportunity in a variety of fields within the power system industry due to their recognized advantages in comparison to conventional line-commutated HVDC systems. Computational burden introduced by detailed modeling of VSC-HVDC systems in EMT-type programs complicates the study of transient events. Detailed modeling includes the representation...
The large remote offshore wind clusters that are planned in the North Sea will most likely be connected with a meshed HVDC grid. Power will mostly flow from the offshore wind clusters to shore, creating asymmetrical requirements for the HVDC links that will consist of several parallel HVDC systems. To realise an asymmetrical link, some of those systems could be designed unidirectional, resulting in...
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converter stations represent a significant investment and source of revenue for the electric utilities owning them. Many installations are approaching or exceeding thirty (30) years of service. Components are aging. Manufacturers may no longer be in business or have merged and consolidated their resources with different business priorities. Engineering and technical...
