Title

Enhancing Power System Frequency Response with HVDC Connected Offshore Wind Farms: Adaptive Control and Coordinated Optimization

Location

Burchard Building 219

"With the increasing penetration of wind energy into modern power systems, conventional synchronous generators are progressively displaced by converter-interfaced generation, resulting in reduced system inertia and weakened frequency response capabilities. As a prominent and rapidly growing source of wind power generation, offshore wind farms (OWFs) connected to onshore power grids through high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission systems have significant potential to provide fast grid frequency support by utilizing their available kinetic energy and power reserves."
