Offshore wind power plants with VSC-HVDC transmission: Grid code compliance optimization and the effect on high voltage ac transmission system

The development of large offshore wind power generation in the North Sea has been significantly accelerated in the last years. The large distance from shore in combination with the need for large transmission capacity has raised the interest for the voltage source converter high voltage direct current technology (VSC-HVDC). Transmission system...

Offshore Wind Plants with VSC-HVDC Connection and their Impact on the Power System Stability:: Modeling and Grid Code Compliance

This report is built within the content of the MS.c course EE4545 at TU Delft. It aims to provide an introduction to typical grid codes for DC connected wind plant. In addition, the report discusses the modeling approach used for wind plants and VSC-HVDC systems and provides insight on the grid code compliance strategies.
