HVDC and Power Electronics have found a wide range of utility applications through decades. The global demand for HVDC and power electronics application is growing continuously. Examples include HVDC interconnections, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and Custom Power Compensators. High and medium voltage
High power electronics can be found in high voltage transmission systems for dynamic power flow regulation, network stability, wind farm interconnections, fast voltage regulation and reactive power compensation.
In medium voltage networks power electronics are applied for Power Quality mitigation, grid reliability improvement, industrial rectifiers for railways and aluminum melters. Our independent HVDC and high power electronics consulting services include: - feasibility studies
- network studies and analysis, with power electronic equipment incorporated
- design review in applications and converters
- quality assurance consulting
- witnessing of tests
- failure analysis and investigations
- condition assessment
Examples of our projects: - quality assurance of converter transformers and smoothing reactors
- review on technical specifications for converter station equipment
- survey and comparison of FACTS Technology for the Belgian National Grid (Elia)
- harmonic impedance study for the Dutch transmission network in preparing the HVDC-link between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (BritNet).
- harmonic interaction between large numbers of photovoltaic inverters and the low voltage network
- assessment of power system harmonic problems for Corus steel plant
