A MTDC system layout review based on system revenue a Kriegers Flak case study

Due to a large array of advantages, offshore wind industry will experience an accelerated growth in the following years. One solution to tackle the issue of collecting the energy form the offshore power plants and distributing it among the onshore consumers can be the multi-terminal HVDC system. In the paper in question, the Kriegers Flak project is analyzed. A series of potential MTDC configurations that link the wind farms to the consumers will be discussed. Furthermore, the revenue of each configuration will be increased by implementing an optimization algorithm. The algorithm is designed to maximize the profit of any MTDC system given a certain array of parameters and will be tested on each configuration. Comparisons and conclusions will be made regarding the maximum profits and power flows of the analyzed setups.
