2. 1. Coordinated Frequency Control Between Interconnected AC/DC Systems

   Author : Danilo Obradovic; Mehrdad Ghandari; Robert Eriksson; Jonas Persson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power System Dynamics; Frequency Stability; Small Signal Stability; HVDC Supplementary Power Control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : With ambitions of reducing the environmental pollution, power systems integrate larger shares of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to phase out conventional thermal and nuclear generators. Since RES (such as wind and solar power) are connected to the grid through power electronics devices, they do not inherently contribute to system inertia. READ MORE

4. 2. System Aspects and Modulation Strategies of an HVDC-based Converter System for Wind Farms

   Author : Stephan Meier; Hans-Peter Nee; Boon-Teck Ooi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Isolated AC DC Converter; Mutual Commutation; Soft Switching; Voltage Source Converter; Cycloconverter; Modulation Strategies; Medium-Frequency Transformer; HVDC Transmission; Wind Power; Wind Farms; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

   Abstract :   In this thesis, a new HVDC-based converter system for wind farms is investigated. It is based on a mutually commutated soft-switching converter system and provides a unique integrated solution for the wind turbine generator drive systems, the wind turbine interconnection, and the power conversion for HVDC transmission.

5. 3. Optimisation and Incentive Mechanisms for Robust Generation Dispatch and Capacity Investment in Electricity Markets

   Author : Lamia Varawala; György Dán; Mohammad Reza Hesamzadeh; José Manuel Arroyo; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimal power flow; Look-ahead; $N-k$ contingency criterion; Renewable energy; Environmental externalities; Electricity generation capacity; Strategic behaviour; Incentives;

   Abstract : Power systems constitute a large-scale critical infrastructure and therefore, it is crucial that their operation be robust to deviations from normal functioning of its independent components. Furthermore, due to their large size, any inefficiencies in electricity market design can be very costly and therefore, must be optimised. READ MORE

6. 4. Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Operational Wave Energy Converters

   Author : Erik Lejerskog; Mats Leijon; Rafael Waters; John Ringwood; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : ocean wave energy; WEC; permanent magnet; linear generator; closed stator slots; offshore experiments;

   Abstract : This thesis studies wave energy converters developed at Uppsala University. The wave energy converters are of point absorbing type with direct driven linear generators. The aim has been to study generator design with closed stator slots as well as offshore experimental studies. READ MORE

7. 5. Fault Behavior of Wind Turbines

   Author : Francesco Sulla; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind Turbines; Short-Circuit Currents; Doubly-Fed Induction Generator; Grid Fault Ride-Through; Voltage Support; Weak Grid;

   Abstract : Synchronous generators have always been the dominant generation type in the grid. This fact affected both planning and operation of power systems. With the fast increase of wind power share in the grid in the last decade, the situation is changing. In some countries wind power represents already a consistent amount of the total generation.
