A GNN-Based Generative Model for Generating Synthetic Cyber-Physical Power System Topology

Synthetic networks aim at generating realistic projections of real-world networks while concealing the actual system information. This paper proposes a scalable and effective approach based on graph neural networks (GNN) to generate synthetic topologies of Cyber-Physical power Systems (CPS) with realistic network feature distribution. In order...

Model predictive control and protection of MMC-based MTDC power systems

Meshed offshore grids (MOGs) present a viable option for a reliable bulk power transmission topology. The station-level control of MOGs requires faster dynamics along with multiple objective functions, which is realized by the model predictive control (MPC). This paper provides control, and protection design for the Modular Multilevel...

Critical Components Identification for Cyber-Physical Power Systems Considering Time-Varying Operational States

The security issues of Cyber-Physical power Systems (CPS) have attracted widespread attention from scholars. Vulnerability assessment emerges as an effective method to identify the critical components and thus increase the system resilience. While efforts have been made to study the vulnerability features of power systems under the occurrence...

A Fast Protection of Multi-terminal HVDC System Based on Transient Signal Detection

HVDC technologies are widely acknowledged as one of solutions for the interconnection of renewable energy resources with the main electric power grid. The application of the latest modular multi-level converter (MMC) makes power conversion much more efficient. Due to the relatively low impedance in a DC system, DC fault currents may rise to an...

Modelling of large-sized electrolysers for realtime simulation and study of the possibility of frequency support by electrolysers

Hydrogen as an energy carrier holds promising potential for future power systems. An excess of electrical power from renewables can be stored as hydrogen, which can be used at a later moment by industries, households or the transportation system. The stability of the power system could also benefit from electrolysers as these have the...

Protection Testing for Multiterminal High-Voltage dc Grid: Procedures and Assessment

eAssessment The application of multiterminal (MT), high-voltage dc (HVdc) (MTdc) grid technology requires test procedures for the operation and implementation of the protection solutions. The test procedures are usually derived from experience and from extensive measurement data, which, at present, are still not widely available. Based on a...

Exploitation of Power-to-Gas for Ancillary Services Provision in the Netherlands

In the future energy system, hydrogen as an energy carrier will play a role of increasing importance. Electrical energy can be converted into hydrogen locally by electrolysers and stored for a relatively long period. Then, the hydrogen can be used by final consumers like the transportation system or industries, as conceptually illustrated in Fig...
