    HVDC. More power by higher voltage and currentExtreme LCC powers available. VSC moving up rapidly

    LCC UHVDC (Classic). 8-13 GW / bipole>150 links since 1954

    ↗Draft roadmap (Task 1.4) in March 2017↗Will provide a complete study case of the development of an offshore

    HVDC grid (possibly in several parts), with complex topologies↗Various WPs are starting their work and simulations

    ↗They need to define test cases/test systems↗They cannot wait the results of Task 1.4

    ↗We need to define test cases to ensure consistency between various WPs↗Results that can be “put together” in the end, exchanges between WPs

    Need for concrete test cases

    ↗WP1 will coordinate the building by the end of June 2016 a small library of test cases for the others WPs with support of other WPs↗These test cases might not be relevant for each WP (e.g. radial

    connection of OWF with a DRU might be of interest for WP3, but not for WP4), but WPs would be asked to explain why they did not study a test case

    ↗WPs will obviously not be limited to these test cases (i.e. they might want more complex test cases, to study variants, to study the sensitivity to a parameters, etc.)

    ↗The topologies: Keep It Simple↗Complex enough for calculations of WP 2 & 4↗Applicable as building blocks for a meshed grid

    ↗These topologies are not the roadmap↗These are developed as part of T1.4 (starting soon)

    ↗Question: Are these fundamental topologies workable for you?↗Basic topologies assume 1GW (320kV) cables, converters & wind

    ↗First conclusions↗Since 2010, numerous roadmaps have been proposed, with different

    levels of details (e.g. macro-topology, detailed topology)↗Results have significant differences and are sensitive to the

    assumptions↗But common points

    ↗Wind farms near the shore stay usually radially connected↗Different HVDC grids not connected (except on the AC side) together (not one big

    HVDC grid)↗Mainly radial and radial multi-terminal topologies↗Only a very few cases of meshed topologies

    ↗It seems difficult to take directly one previous roadmap as a reference for PROMOTioN (see Task 1.4)

  • © PROMOTioN – Progress on Meshed HVDC Offshore Transmission Networks This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691714.

    ↗Description↗A draft roadmap is derived from the available information providing the

    key criteria that need to be fulfilled for the advent of the fundamental topologies. This roadmap takes into account the development pace of total installed offshore wind energy capacity, including its location (e.g. near shore, far shore).

    ↗An interactive presentation tool with user interaction will be used to present this result.

    ↗The roadmap includes a detailed study considering the economic viability of offshore grids. This study contains a business case investigation on different topologies (on continent level) and uses assumptions of costs of key technology components

    ↗Task 1.4 will begin this month (not yet really started)↗NB: kind of overlap with WP7 → coordination needed

    Objectives

    This WP aims to develop multivendor DC grid protection system. The goal is:

    I to develop a set of functional requirements for various DC grids: fromsmall scale to large overlay grids and for a variety of system configurationsand converter topologies

    I to identify the best performing methods for the systems under study

    I to develop detailed protection methodologies for the selected methods

    I to develop configurable multi-purpose HVDC protection IEDs to enabletesting of the methodologies

    I to investigate the key influencing parameters of protection systems on thecost-benefit evaluation

    Protection system decides for actual grid design

    I Different components relate to different time scales

    I A protection system requires the time scales to be matched

    I This has a consequence on the elements that must be installed

    I Example: a smaller DC grid connecting a few offshore nodes might bedisconnected for shorter or longer time periods without jeopardizingsystem adequacy (options d or e)

    I Example: a pan-European power system might not allow near zerovoltages throughout the grid (options a or b or c?)
