The HVDC-WISE project is a large multi-party consortium bringing together multiple TSOs, research institutes and universities across Europe to develop new tools and methodologies to exploit the opportunities afforded by HVDC to enhance power system reliability & resilience (R&R).
This session, on the 18th of March (16h10-17h10), will provide project updates from lead partners on how practical transmission network planning and analysis methodologies can be updated to assess and make use of the flexibility and resilience that HVDC promises. This implies a need for updated modelling and simulation approaches that not only address the dispatch of power but also control and protection issues. These issues will be explored by industry leaders in respect of three case studies:
- Reinforcement of a highly meshed power system via overlay HVDC grids (Continental Europe)
- Reinforcement of a small-medium sized synchronous area via parallel offshore HVDC grids (Great Britain)
- Development of multipurpose HVDC grids for offshore wind integration and energy trading between different synchronous areas
A short presentation of results relating to each use case will be followed by a Q&A panel session.
Moderator: Prof Keith Bell (University of Strathclyde)
Speakers and Panellists: Michael van der Straeten (Amprion), Colin Foote (The National HVDC Centre), Daniel Stenzel (Tennet), Juan-Carlos Gonzalez, (Coordinator of HVDC-WISE, SuperGrid Institute), Simon Thams (RWTH Aachen University), and Keith Bell (University of Strathclyde).
