  2. 1. Silicon-Carbide-Based High-Voltage Submodules for HVDC Voltage-Source Converters

    Author : Keijo Jacobs; Hans-Peter Nee; Staffan Norrga; Marc Hiller; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Silicon carbide; HVDC converters; voltage source converters; modular multilevel converters; submodule topologies; metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor MOSFET ; insulated-gate bipolar-transistor IGBT ; power semiconductor devices; high-voltage; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : In order to transition to renewable energy sources and simultaneously meet the increasing demand for electrical energy, highly flexible and efficient grids are required. High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission and grids are foreseen to be a vital part of the future electricity grid. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Techno-economic Assessment of a Multi-terminal VSC-HVDC in AC Transmission Systems

    Author : Feng Wang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transmission Grid.; Loss minimization; AC DC system; Transmission expansion planning; Multi-terminal VSC-HVDC; Cost minimization; Cost-benefit analysis; Electric power system; Optimal power flow;

    Abstract : The Voltage Source Converter based Multi-Terminal high voltage Direct Current transmission system (VSC-MTDC) is currently considered as an attractive technical option for increased transmission capacity and improved controllability and flexibility of an electric power grid, thanks to its unique performance characteristics, and the possibility of using the extruded XLPE cables. In the planning process of embedding a VSC-MTDC system into an ac transmission grid, one must assess the potential values in terms of improved energy efficiency, i. READ MORE
