Protection of MTDC grids
For the transmission of bulk power and the reinforcement of the grid for the insertion of renewable sources, the recourse to HVDC is mandatory. Beyond a certain distance, high voltage AC transmission becomes less advantageous than DC. As depicted, the transmission of power through a conductor is limited for a given distance in AC (versus…

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) for the renewable energy sector
The unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources is generally seen as one of the aspects that make them hard to integrate in the energy system. In the incite blog of April 5th 2018, Jesus Lago has given an overview of different types and methods of forecasting. In this post, we dive deeper into current industry…

Resiliency of Distributed Control Schemes
As discussed in a previous post [1], distributed control schemes are perceived to be more suitable for future power networks than the centralized counterpart. However, designing such control schemes is more complex than that of the conventional centralized one. Particularly, a distributed control scheme requires communication and cooperation of the controllers, which inherently introduce additional…
