Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics and provide an opportunity for delegates to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please, join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in the academic community. We look forward to seeing you there!
PO087: The wind is blowing hard on the cable and electrical installation market: KEMA Labs experiences on testing 525kV DC cable systems
Uberto Vercellotti, DR. Engineer, CESI-KEMA Labs
Abstract
The transition towards renewable energy that is spreading all over the world is very much linked to the capability to transmit and dispatch energy from one place (where the clean energy is produced) to another (where energy is consumed). The development of more reliable and capable grid infrastructures for power transmission and distribution is a key for the integration of renewables. The Cable market is one of the hot sectors in the clean energy transition, as demand for products such as undersea HV lines leads to order backlogs of 2 to 5 years for cable makers portfolios. The operation of offshore wind farms increases the request for both AC and DC cable connections to transport the energy to onshore substations. But also the transport of wind energy over long distances from the place of generation to the consumers as industrial plants is increasingly realised by HVDC cable connections. With increasing length of the cable system, the TSOs lack in experience for the operation of the grid and therefore, numerical simulations help to understand the situation in case of electrical failures. As result of such simulations new requirements have been addressed to the test laboratories to test cables additionally with special waveforms. For example, some late demands from Utilities have to be faced by cable manufacturers and laboratories: e.g. Polarity reversals and Transient Over Voltages (TOV)
