Welcome to our new President, Michel Serra!
Introductions were made at lunchtime, over coffee between our staff and Michel, this Wednesday, the 27th of September.
Comparison of Modular Multilevel Converter and Neutral Point Clamped Converter for MVDC applications
This article presents a comparison between the 3-Level NPC and Modular Multilevel Concerter topologies for MVDC networks.
A look back at our participation in EPE’2023
Once again, our institute was well represented with several scientific contributions. Piotr Dworakowski was also chairman & co-chairman of 3 sessions.
North Sea Wind Power Hub pre-FEED study: DC Control Functional Requirements and Parameter Ranges for HVDC Building Blocks
This paper addresses several key DC grid control functional requirements.
North Sea Wind Power Hub pre-FEED study: DC Protection Functional Requirements and Parameter Ranges for HVDC Building Blocks
A methodology to define functional requirements and parameter ranges for HVDC building blocks such as converters and switching stations based on Simplistic Test Benchmarks (STB).
Wind Power Hub pre-FEED study: HVDC grid active power loss and restoration requirements based on AC frequency stability assessment
In order to decarbonize the European electricity production, the European Commission set an ambitious target of 300 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050.
Energy based and non-energy based control strategies for Modular Multilevel Converter with embedded storage
This paper deals with an HVDC system based on MMC with embedded storage capacity of 10%.
Comparison between DC Voltage Droop Schemes and Grid-Following & Grid-Forming Control in AC Systems in View of Interoperability of MTDC grids
The analysis shows that specifying both static and dynamic characteristics of droop-controlled stations is crucial for the security of the DC grid.
Official launch of the OPHELIA project: a solar canopy demonstrator along the ViaRhôna
The OPHELIA projet will promote the development of linear photovoltaic power plants by launching a solar canopy demonstrator along the ViaRhôna.
New magnetic sensor for partial discharges measurement applied to HVDC constraints inside GIS
The aims of this work were to study its behaviour and to compare its performances with other measuring methods.
