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 will give delegates an opportunity 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 industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO088: Enabling Grid Code Compliant Wind Farm Connections via Enhanced STATCOM Technology
Andrew Owens, Product Manager, Hitachi Energy
Abstract
FOLLOWING INCREASED REQUIREMENTS ON WIND FARMS AND THEIR EXPORT SYSTEMS, OFFSHORE WIND INTERCONNECTIONS MUST OVERCOME CONCERNS RELATED TO LOW SHORT-CIRCUIT POWER, OSCILLATORY PHENOMENA, AND LIMITED FAULT TOLERANCE. TODAY, STATCOMS WITH GRID-FORMING BEHAVIOR ARE DEPLOYED TO ENSURE GRID-COMPLIANT WIND FARM CONNECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESPONSE AND FAULT CURRENT INJECTION. WITH THE ADDITION OF AN ACTIVE POWER RESERVE, THE GRID-FORMING STATCOM HAS EVOLVED TO AN ENHANCED STATCOM: A VERSATILE SOLUTION THAT ENABLES GRID CODE COMPLIANCE EVEN IN THE MOST COMPLEX OF WIND FARM INTERCONNECTIONS. This paper will present Enhanced STATCOM technology and the benefits that it brings in renewable applications. The paper will emphasize design considerations for the integration of offshore wind to reinforce the grid strength and provide stabilizing services at the connecting bus. Unique challenges related to weak grids and sub-synchronous oscillations will be explained. The Enhanced STATCOM's capability to damp oscillatory phenomena, address phase angle instability, and provide grid voltage and frequency support through their active and reactive power capability will be demonstrated via simulation in a software-in-the-loop environment including an offshore wind interconnection.
