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:
• *Steady-state: Load flows, analysis of power system constraints, optimal load flows, voltage control ancilliary service,short-circuits, protections in transmission and ditribution networks
• *Stability: Large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
• *Power Electronics and Control Systems
