Three-phase converters and line simulators were developed as part of this project to implement a scaled-down version of a multi terminal HVDC grid.
Main innovations:
Problem: The growing deployment of offshore wind farms usually represent a need for submarine DC lines where classic power flow control schemes are not applicable.
Solution: Develop and prototype in laboratory a multi-terminal DC network with realistic scaled-down parameters, to demonstrate newly developed control methods designed specifically for the characteristics of the network and the generator.
Use cases and applications
Control of offshore wind farms with electronic-coupled generators
Control of DC network in general, with special interest in multi-terminal configurations
Multidisciplinary science-bases approach
Power electronics, power flow, droop control, wind power, DC networks
