Abstract :
This paper quantifies the dynamic interaction between an onshore power system and multi-terminal voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC transmission systems which are used for the integration of far and large amounts of offshore wind power. Both point-to-point and multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) connection of offshore wind power plants have been investigated. A 2025-2030 scenario for the power system of the Netherlands and its neighbors has been created as a case study. Special attention is given to the transient stability of critical generators in the Dutch power system for situations with large amounts of onshore and offshore wind power production. Time-domain simulations are performed using the commercial software PSS®E, augmented with user-defined models, for a fourteen-terminal MTDC network which extends from Germany via Netherlands to Belgium. The studies highlight fault propagation in a wider neighborhood when MTDC technology is used for the connection of wind power in the North Sea.
