Funding entity Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad

Participated by Universidad de Alcalá

This project is part of a bigger one in collaboration with Universidad de Alcalá de Henares: «Contributions to the architecture, modelling and control of HVDC grids and their integration with existing HVAC systems. A key challenge for a sustainable future of power systems» where IIT will be responsible for the following tasks/objectives:
Ob1: Development of tools for the simulation of hybrid (HVDC-VSC/HVAC) power systems with various detail levels.
Ob2: Investigation of control and operation alternatives for hybrid (HVDC-VSC/HVAC) power systems.
Ob3: Development of tools for the analysis of power quality in hybrid (HVDC-VSC/HVAC) power systems.
Ob4: Stability-related analysis of hybrid (HVDC-VSC/HVAC) power systems (transient stability and small-signal stability).
Ob5: Investigation of algorithms for detection and protection of faults in DC networks.

Project funded by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.

Research topics

*Power Electronics and Control Systems
