Developing tools for R&R-oriented planning and operation of hybrid AC/DC power
In order to ensure the reliability and resilience (R&R) of future electrical grids, particularly those incorporating significant high-voltage AC and DC interconnections, the development of appropriate analysis methodologies and tools is paramount. Within the HVDC-WISE Work Package 5, our focus lies on the advancement of tools tailored for R&R-oriented planning and operation of hybrid AC/DC […]
Enhancing the resilience and reliability of the transmission system: what’s next for HVDC-WISE?
The HVDC-WISE project aims to leverage the full potential of HVDC technology to enhance the Resilience and Reliability (R&R) of hybrid AC/DC transmission systems. At its core, HVDC-WISE endeavours to address critical challenges in effective planning and operation, identifying AC/DC grid architectures that can bolster system reliability and resilience. Central to the HVDC-WISE is the […]
