Power packed technical tutorial – HVDC and FACTS
As large-scale renewable projects are coming online and inter-regional transmission becoming more important than ever, HVDC and transmission and flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices are becoming key enablers for the grid of the future. We are seeing these technologies support offshore generation, on land islanded networks and to reinforce the existing grid via dynamic active and reactive support.
This tutorial introduces fundamental concepts of HVDC transmission systems and FACTS devices and looks at some applications that we have been apart at Hatch.
