DC fault analysis of VSC based multi-terminal HVDC systems
The use of Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC transmission has been strongly suggested for the interconnection of various power networks. However, VSCs susceptibility to DC faults, particularly the potential damage caused to the conv...
Influence of DC Voltage Droop Settings on AC System Stability
This paper presents a methodology to study the impact of different DC voltage droop settings on the AC system stability. When several Voltage Source Converters (VSC) in a DC system jointly control the DC voltage by means of droop control, a...
Next generation HVDC network for offshore renewable energy industry
The growing demand on non-fossil fuel energy has escalated the desire for mega-scale renewable energy power generation. This demand can no longer be satisfied by solely relying on onshore renewable energy power plants (i.e. onshore wind far...
Harmonic distortion specification and compliance of an offshore wind generation
This paper considers the analysis and setting of harmonic distortion emission limits for the connection of an offshore wind farm considering the complexity introduced by other connections to the same electrical node. It goes on to present o...
Ensuring grid code harmonic compliance of wind farms
The prevalence of cabled infrastructure associated with wind farms, combined with the surge in power-electronic interfaces in wind turbines and reactive power plant, has highlighted the pervasive nature of harmonics on electricity networks....
A framework for coordinated stability control in the future GB transmission system using HVDC and power flow controller devices
This study investigates the possibility of using new transmission technologies such as Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and embedded High Voltage DC (HVDC) links to increase power transfer capabilities by means of improving the ...
The impact of new technology on network resilience
National Grid in its capacity as both a Transmission Owner and System Operator is experiencing changes in the network characteristics, brought about by changing patterns in generation, transmission and demand technology. This paper discusse...
Control of VSC HVDC system integrated with AC network
This paper identifies potential problems in integrating a point to point voltage source converter based HVDC system to an AC network. The AC network utilizes the classical two-area system where all generators are equipped with voltage and d...
New type test requirements for forced triggered spark gap in series capacitor bank applications
New version of IEC 60143 “Series capacitors for power systems - Part 2: Protective equipment for series capacitor banks” [1] will be published shortly. It determines type tests for series capacitor bank spark gap. Test requirements are mo...
Dynamic energy storage — A UK first
For intermittent power sources like wind and solar, the challenge is to connect and integrate this kind of generation while still meeting the required grid stability and reliability, particularly at a low reserve capacity level. This requir...
