Abstract: – Vision for Carbon-Neutral Energy System: The vision for a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050 emphasizes electricity’s critical role, highlighting trends like environmental awareness, regulatory frameworks, and digitalization. Key shifts include renewable power generation, increased electrification, and sustainable energy carriers. Challenges include optimizing renewable integration, balancing supply and demand, managing dynamic power flow, and ensuring grid resilience.
– HVDC Technology and Operational Constraints: HVDC technology mitigates AC grid operational constraints, focusing on power system capacity and stability. HVDC aids in power flow control, reactive power control, frequency control, damping control, and dynamic voltage control. Visuals include bar charts, diagrams, and graphs illustrating these points.
– HVDC Systems and Future Scenarios: Comparisons of DC voltage levels and power ranges for various HVDC systems are presented, including BIGT and HVDC Light® MMC. Future scenarios for energy grid technology include National Distributed Hubs, Centralised Hubs, and Meshed Offshore Grids, emphasizing their benefits in strengthening energy markets and integrating renewables.
– Future Transmission Planning and DC Grid Technology: Future transmission planning focuses on EU interconnections and new transmission requirements for renewable energy scenarios. DC grid technology
development includes VSC systems, HVDC breakers, and DC meshed grid C&P setups, highlighting their capabilities and importance in modern power grids.
