Control of HVDC/AC electrical grids: RTDS hardware-in-the-loop approach


Time: TBD (Expected Duration: 3 hours)

Abstract:

The transmission systems are heading towards hybrid using high-voltage AC and DC connections. Power electronic converters contribute to significant changes in the operation and control of the system, its stability, and robustness. For the design of a hybrid electrical grid and preparation for its physical deployment, real-time simulations and hardware-in-the-loop testing are a must.

This tutorial covers the design aspects of the power electronic converters used for DC applications (MMCs) and control of the power systems with the high penetration of renewable energy sources using the real-time hardware, RTDS©. The tutorial will use RSCAD/RTDS open-source libraries during the “hands-on” sessions in RSCAD/RTDS. The participants should bring the laptops to install RSCAD (temporary license) and they will get secured access to RTDS cores. Furthermore, one RTDS NovaCor (10 cores) will be present, and the participants will be able to see its operation and connection.

TRANSIT – TRANSITion to sustainable future through training and education

Time: TBD

TRANSIT (TRANSITion to sustainable future through training and education) is a project funded by the European Union under the program Horizon Europe that aims to provide sustainable training and re-skilling programmes for current and future generations on a multidisciplinary approach in renewable energy.

In achieving this, TRANSIT seeks to enable the societal changes that will encompass the high ambitions of deployment and transformation of the energy sector in the next decades through the design and delivering of an overall educational, retraining and social engagement programme covering different sectoral strategies and stakeholders.
