Fast detection and isolation of DC faults is recognized as the main challenge in developing DC transmission grids. Voltage source converter blocking must be prevented which can be very difficult given the large rate-of-rise of fault currents. The concept of multi-converter DC bus is introduced as a grid design approach aimed towards increasing robustness of DC grids to DC faults. Behavior of a multi-converter...

Power system restoration takes place where power systems experience a blackout and might be splitted into several islands with limited number of black start units. The main challenge of the restoration process is to keep both frequency and voltage within allowable limits while restoring the network through energizing lines and transformers as well as load pickup. The load pickup scheme is determined...

Due to the insignificant share of inverter-based Renewable Energy Resources (RER) as well as the uncertainty concerning their integration impacts, the capability of RERs to regulate voltage or frequency has not been widely used. However, inverter-based voltage/frequency regulation is of interest due to the fast growth of distributed RERs, especially solar Photovoltaic (PV) resources. The IEEE 1547a...
