Composite testing of HVDC-connected offshore wind farms in Great Britain

Transmission connections to offshore wind generation typically consist of multiple technologies supplied by different manufacturers with each tested at the factory, but with limited composite modelling and testing of the combined system control and protection performance. To start to address these technical challenges, the HVDC Centre with the support of ESO connections team commissioned the COMPOSITE project with RTE International to identify practical guidelines and best practices for composite testing and compliance of complex electricity connections, leveraging the experience we share across multi-vendor and multi-device testing we have delivered. This joint webcast by HVDC Centre in collaboration with RTE International and EMTP® will describe key findings and lessons learned from the COMPOSITE project, including a demonstration of EMTP® modelling the composite models and their test cases. Speakers: - Benjamin Marshall – HVDC Technology Manager - Dr. Oluwole Daniel Adeuyi - Simulation Engineer & Offshore Networks Lead - Hani Saad - Power system expert engineer
