CE2I – Convertisseur d’Energie Intégré Intelligent

Identification: “Control Strategies of a DC Based Offshore Wind Farm With Series Connected Collection Grid”

Aims:

• Propose control strategy for a new topology of off shore wind farms
• Build a laboratory test bench for testing the control
• Main characteristics of the test bench:
  • V_dc = 400V ; V_g = 220V at 50Hz ; P_rated = 5kW
  • Central coordination of wind turbine emulation
  • Use of DC cable

Period: from October 2016 to December 2017

Sponsors: The Nord Pas de Calais’ Council, the French State, European Union

Context: HVDC to HVAC Conversion ; Offshore wind farms; HVDC transmission

Main results:

• Development and verification of an innovative control strategy
• Use of real time simulation for the power converter control
• Experimental results of a small scale wind farm
