VSC-HVDC based Network Reinforcement

The recent development in semiconductor and control equipment has made HVDC transmission based on voltage-source converter (VSC-HVDC) feasible. VSC-HVDC has numerous advantages such as a controllable short-circuit current contribution, the rapid and independent control of active and reactive power, and good power quality. With these advantages...

Connection of large-scale wind power generation to the Dutch electrical power system and its impact on dynamic behaviour

Installed wind power world wide is increasing rapidly. The increase in wind power in the European electricity grid is expected to have its impact on the system behaviour. A European study, European Wind Integration Study (EWIS), was thus set up to study the impact of wind power. This thesis was carried out in parallel with EWIS and overlaps at...
