Autonomous frequency smoothing control of offshore wind-linked HVDC for low-inertia system

Dongyeong Lee et al.

Summary: With the increasing international attention toward carbon neutrality, offshore wind has become a promising and dominant renewable energy source. However, the inherent uncertainty and volatility of renewable energy sources make system operations difficult. In this paper, a sustainable control method is proposed to flatten the frequency fluctuation caused by wind generation in normal state using HVDC systems in offshore wind farms. This scheme allows offshore wind power to participate in onshore frequency regulation using only local measurements without any communication.

Eight Typical Schemes of Offshore Wind Power Transmission and Their Key Technical Problems

Zheng Xu et al.

Summary: This article discusses the three technical features related to offshore wind turbines and offshore transmission channels, and introduces eight schemes for offshore wind power transmission and their corresponding key technologies. The first technical feature focuses on the grid-forming capability of offshore wind turbines, discussing two types: grid-following and grid-forming wind turbines. The second feature describes the frequency characteristics of offshore wind turbine output voltage and current, including DC, low-frequency AC, power-frequency AC, and medium-frequency AC. The third feature explains the power transmission modes adopted by offshore high-voltage main transmission channels, including HVDC, high-voltage low-frequency AC, and high-voltage power-frequency AC. Finally, the technical characteristics and maturity of the eight offshore wind power transmission schemes are reviewed, and a recommended direction for technical development is provided.

Enhancing the Performance of Eskom's Cahora Bassa HVDC Scheme and Harmonic Distortion Minimization of LCC-HVDC Scheme Using the VSC-HVDC Link

Innocent Ewean Davidson et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance and harmonic distortion level of the Cahora Bassa HVDC link, and proposes the usage of Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC technology as a solution to reduce harmonics content, increase power transfer capabilities, and enhance network stability. By analyzing the current and voltage waveform characteristics, it is found that the usage of VSC HVDC converter technology at the inverter station leads to lower total harmonics distortion, and the continuous occurrence of commutation failure is minimized by implementing a new converter architecture.
