InnoDC attended PowerTech Madrid 2021, sponsored by IEEE* and organised by Universidad Pontificia Comillas.
Daniel Westerman Spier presented ‘Optimal current reference calculation for MMCs considering converter limitations‘ during the HVDC Technology I session, which InnoDC supervisor, Carlos Ugalde-Loo chaired. Daniel’s paper was based on his publication in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery.
Vaishally Bhardwaj presented her paper ‘Risk-based preventive-corrective security constrained optimal power flow for ac/dc grid‘ during the ‘Simulation and control II’ session chaired by Prof Aurelio García-Cerrada.
Meanwhile, Jovana Dakic presented her paper ‘HVAC Transmission System for Offshore Wind Power Plants Including Mid-cable reactive power compensation: Optimal design and comparison to VSC-HVDC transmission‘ during a session chaired by Dr Agustí Egea-Álvarez. The paper was published in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery.
Stephen Hardy published his paper, Techno-Economic Analysis of meshed Topologies of Offshore Wind HVAC Transmission.
The sessions were challenging and interactive, which inspired new research ideas!
