Control of an offshore Bipole with AC interlink under dedicated metallic return fault to improve availability

The power system in Northern Europe supports a high degree of penetration of Wind Energy-based HVDC connections. Most of the modern HVDC connections will have Bipole with a dedicated metallic return (DMR) configuration. This thesis presents a basic guideline to increase the Levelized cost of operation of Bipole HVDC links by attaching the...

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...
