Modelling and Simulation of VSC-HVDC Connection for Offshore Wind Power Plants

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Several large offshore wind power plants (WPP)\nare planned in the seas around Europe. VSC-HVDC is a suitable\nmeans of integrating such large and distant offshore WPP which\nneed long submarine cable transmission to the onshore grid.\nRecent trend is to use large wind turbine generators with full\nscale converters to achieve an optimal operation over a wide\nspeed range. The offshore grid then becomes very much different\nfrom the conventional power system grid, in the sense that it is\nconnected to power electronic converters only. A model of the\nwind power plant with VSC-HVDC connection is developed in\nPSCAD for time-domain dynamic simulation. This paper\npresents the modelling and simulation of such a system. A single\nline to ground fault has been simulated and fault currents for the\ngrounded and ungrounded offshore grid system is obtained\nthrough simulation and then compared.
