PEA Method Space Charge Measurement, modeling & measurement of applied pulsed-voltage in different setups for MV mini-cable

Destructive consequences of trapped space charges within HVDC coaxial cable insulation, such as accelerated aging, degradation, and breakdown, are some of the most significant challenges that manufacturers and users usually come up with. Pulsed Electro-Acoustic (PEA) method is a widely-used method for space charge detection and measurement, in...

2050: Power-to-hydrogen opportunities for far offshore wind farms

In 2050, the Netherlands’ goal is to have a fully renewable energy mix, mainly composed of solar and wind energy to supply electricity. In this way, the country will meet the environmental targets to reduce the carbon emissions by 90%. The offshore wind installed capacity in the Netherlands was approved to increase to 11.5 GW by 2030. In the...

Harmonic analysis of collection grid in offshore wind installation

Wind power as a green and low-carbon renewable energy could effectively mitigate the energy crisis and reduce environmental pollution, including the rapid developing offshore wind power with its rich reserves, wind stability, high wind speed, less interference, noise and other advantages. The trend for development of offshore wind farms is...

Multi-port DC hub based on the Modular Multilevel Converter for Multi-terminal HVDC grids

It is expected that DC grids will evolve into large meshed networks, which will have multiple DC voltage levels. Two DC grids operating at different voltage levels could be interconnected using a DC-DC converter. The role of the DC-DC converter in meshed DC networks is similar to the role of a transformer in traditional AC systems. The DC-DC...
