Thank you to all those who attended our webinar “HVDC Grid Protection System Demonstration: Interoperability, Primary and Back-up Protection in Non-Selective Strategies” on the 3rd of September. This webinar was the final step of our contribution to work package 9 of the PROMOTioN project “Demonstration of DC grid protection”. 

We were able to show the high performance of the algorithms we developed within the project via 2 different real-time protection strategies. Both strategies were based on IEC 61850 communication standards.

The demonstration addressed the following topics:

• Generating a short-circuit on the line
• Detecting the defect
• Protecting the assets
• Opening all the lines
• Restarting all lines except the defective one
