When the large-scale renewable power island is connected to VSC-HVDC transmission system, we should figure out the steady-state operation area of VSC-HVDC converter station. Based on the equivalent model of renewable energy island, the constraints of VSC-HVDC converter station are analyzed, and a fast method for calculating steady-state operation area of converter station is presented in this paper. The influence of equivalent line impedance of renewable energy island, transformer ratio of converter station and voltage setting value of grid-connected point on steady-state operation area of converter station is analyzed. And the three-dimensional view of the steady-state operation area of the converter station under different grid-connected voltage is depicted. 1 Introduction operation modes are given[6].

  • HVDC Links in System Operations
    HVDC Links in System Operations Technical paper 2 December 2019 ENTSO-E AISBL • Avenue de Cortenbergh 100 • 1000 Brussels • Belgium • Tel + 32 2 741 09 50 • Fax + 32 2 741 09 51 • [email protected] • www. entsoe.eu HVDC Links in System Operations Executive Summary High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is an increasingly important technology for transferring electrical power in the European transmission grid. New HVDC links play a key role in future development plans for the European transmission grid and internal market. The use of the advanced functionalities of these HVDC links in system operations is essential for the secure and efficient operation of the grid. ENTSO-E recognizes the importance of the functionalities and ancillary services that can be provided by HVDC links. Several of these functionalities are inherent within the HVDC technology and therefore the power system can benefit from the efficiency they can readily provide. The use of the functionalities of the HVDC links in system operations contributes to meeting current and future challenges, such as decarbonisation and large scale integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) which are largely connected via Power Electronics (PE). Such technologies result in the decommissioning of classic rotating power plants and the disappearance of the physical characteristics the power system was built on. In addition, the HVDC technology may support the realisation of an integrated European energy market and the sharing of ancillary services between countries and synchronous areas. Today HVDC links are typically used for connecting two asynchronous, non-embedded AC systems and for long-distance bulk power transmission using both overhead land lines and submarine cables.

  • Lecture Notes On
    LECTURE NOTES ON HVDC TRANSMISSION 2019 – 2020 M.Tech I Semester (IARE-R18) Dr. P Sridhar, Professor Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering INSTITUTE OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING (Autonomous) Dundigal, Hyderabad - 500 043 P a g e 1 | 57 UNIT – I GENERAL ASPECTS OF HVDC TRANSMISSION 1.1 INTRODUCTION: A high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system (also called a power super highway or an electrical super highway) uses direct current for the bulk transmission of electrical power, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) systems.For long- distance transmission, HVDC systems may be less expensive and suffer lower electrical losses. For underwater power cables, HVDC avoids the heavy currents required to charge and discharge the cable capacitance each cycle. For shorter distances, the higher cost of DC conversion equipment compared to an AC system may still be justified, due to other benefits of direct currentlinks. HVDC allows power transmission between unsynchronized AC transmission systems. Since the power flow through an HVDC link can be controlled independently of the phase angle between source and load, it can stabilize a network against disturbances due to rapid changes in power. HVDC also allows transfer of power between grid systems running at different frequencies, such as 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This improves the stability and economy of each grid, by allowing exchange of power between incompatible networks. Power Transmission was initially carried out in the early 1880s using Direct Current (DC). With the availability of transformers (for stepping up the voltage for transmission over long distances and for stepping down the voltage for safe use), the development of robust induction motor (to serve the users of rotary power), the availability of the superior synchronous generator, and the facilities of converting AC to DC when required, AC gradually replaced DC.

  • High-Voltage Direct Current Technology - Part 1
    High-Voltage Direct Current Technology - Part 1 Course No: E03-032 Credit: 3 PDH Velimir Lackovic, Char. Eng. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] HIGH-VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT (HVDC) TECHNOLOGY – PART 1 INTRODUCTION TO HVDC Electricity is produced as an alternating current (AC). It is also transferred and distributed as AC and in majority of applications it is used as AC. Nevertheless, in many situations, it is financially and technically beneficial to use direct current (DC) links. In some situations, it may be the only possible power transmission method. In situations, when two different AC systems cannot be synchronised or when the interconnection cable length is too long for stable AC transmission, DC transmission can be applied. At sending “converter station” the AC is converted to DC current, which is then transferred to a second, receiving converter station and converted back to AC. In “back-to-back” HVDC arrangements the two converter stations are placed in the same building, reducing the DC transmission length to zero. HVDC transmission installations can be classified into four broad groups and any arrangement typically involves a combination of two or more of these. The groups are: - Transfer of bulk power where AC would be uneconomical or infeasible - Link between electrical systems which use different frequencies, or between non-synchronised or isolated power systems which, even though they have the same nominal frequency, cannot be run reliably in synchronism. - Introduction of power infeed without greatly increasing the short circuit level of the client’s AC system.

  • A Coordinated Control of Offshore Wind Power and BESS to Provide Power System Flexibility
    energies Article A Coordinated Control of Offshore Wind Power and BESS to Provide Power System Flexibility Martha N. Acosta 1, Francisco Gonzalez-Longatt 1,* , Juan Manuel Roldan-Fernandez 2 and Manuel Burgos-Payan 2,* 1 Department of Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Cybernetics, University of South-Eastern Norway, 3918 Porsgrunn, Norway; [email protected] 2 Department of Electrical Engineering, Universidad de Sevilla, 41004 Seville, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (F.G.-L.); [email protected] (M.B.-P.) Abstract: The massive integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) in modern power systems is imposing several challenges; one of them is the increased need for balancing services. Coping with the high variability of the future generation mix with incredible high shares of VER, the power system requires developing and enabling sources of flexibility. This paper proposes and demonstrates a single layer control system for coordinating the steady-state operation of battery energy storage system (BESS) and wind power plants via multi-terminal high voltage direct current (HVDC). The proposed coordinated controller is a single layer controller on the top of the power converter-based technologies. Specifically, the coordinated controller uses the capabilities of the distributed battery energy storage systems (BESS) to store electricity when a logic function is fulfilled. The proposed approach has been implemented considering a control logic based on the power flow in the DC undersea cables and coordinated to charging distributed-BESS assets. The implemented coordinated Citation: Acosta, M.N.; controller has been tested using numerical simulations in a modified version of the classical IEEE Gonzalez-Longatt, F.; 14-bus test system, including tree-HVDC converter stations.
