MMC-HVDC modeling, simulation and analysis with EMTP
Objectives
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems based on voltage source converters (VSCs) are increasingly popular in electric power grids. The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is the predominant topology used in recent and upcoming HVDC-VSC projects worldwide. This course presents practical and technical information on VSC-HVDC systems based on real projects.
· Overview on VSC-MMC technology
· Modeling and simulation of MMC-HVDC systems with EMTP
· Control and protection of MMC-HVDC systems
· Dynamic behavior during transients (faults and start-up sequence)
Training structure
The duration is 5 days.
The training starts at 9:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm every day.
Lunch will be available during the lunch break of 1 hour.
Intended audience
This course is intended for engineers and researchers involved in VSC-HVDC projects. It provides an up-to-date technical expertise on simulation models and on the VSC-HVDC technology.
Computer and temporary EMTP license
Temporary EMTP licenses will be provided to the audience. The participants must bring their own computers.
