DC Voltage Stability Analysis and Enhancement for Grid-Forming-Based MTDC Systems
This letter first identifies a new mode of low-frequency harmonic instability when combining grid-forming control with the typical dc voltage droop control necessitated in multiterminal high voltage direct-current transmissions.
Managing turbine fatigue while maximizing solar energy use: adding a battery to the system
The use of a 15-minute solar forecast obtained from real-time sky video is analysed to minimize this overloading of the actuators.
Performance investigation of SF6 free Gas Insulated DC Systems
A solution to replace SF6 in high voltage equipment is the mixture of Fluoronitrile C4F7N with CO2 and O2.
Switching losses calculation method for modular multi-level converters using half-bridge submodules
This paper proposes a simulation-based method for calculation of losses on any converter topology based on stacks of half-bridge submodules balancing accuracy and computing time.
Analysis of corona and surface discharge signals from different non-intrusive sensors
This work investigates the efficiency of different non-intrusive sensors for partial discharge measurement in MVDC or HVDC equipment.
