Control Interactions
Control interactions in cable-based power networks add an extra layer of complexity. This is mainly due to the different dynamic characteristics of AC and DC cable systems.
Understanding Fundamental Limitations
A first research focus is identifying the fundamental limitations of converter controllers in transmission networks with a high share of AC and DC cables.
Advanced Control Algorithms for HVDC Networks
We develop advanced control algorithms for High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converters.
Enabling Multi-Vendor Integration
Future HVDC networks will often combine equipment from different manufacturers. Therefore, we develop tools and models that support the integration and interoperability of HVDC converters from multiple vendors.
Exploring Next-Generation Control Strategies
We investigate advanced control loops, including so-called grid-forming controls.
