Design and Modeling of Inverter Control for Fault Behavior and Power System Protection Analysis KU Leuven
Renewable energy resources will form the cornerstone of power systems of the future and present a key solution to the grand challenge of mitigating climate change. However, the proliferation of renewables has brought up a myriad of challenges involved in operating the power system with notable shares of inverter-based resources (IBRs). This has sparked several concerns pertaining to stability, protection, and continuity of power supply ...
Optimal protection for electricity grids with power electronics KU Leuven
HVDC based grids: A Grid-of-Grids approach to enable a resilient RES based power system KU Leuven
Remote in-line Vision system for monitoring of the Damage Progression (ReViDaP-2.0) in high power wind turbine gearboxes Ghent University
Increasing offshore wind energy capacity together with a demand for maximum reliability raises the need for structure and machine maintenance based on (semi-)automated inspections. Smart maintenance of mechanical constructions1 does already exist but machine maintenance is behind. Recently, Soete Laboratory developed a toolkit for labscale machine monitoring as a proof of concept within the IOF StarTT-project ReViDaP-1.0 ...
Dynamic control interactions in electrical power systems with a high penetration of power electronics KU Leuven
Power electronics are massively introduced in the power grids due to the shift towards a more sustainable, greener electricity system. They are fast-acting components and interact with the power system in ways for which it was not initially designed. Consequently, conventional power system stability studies do not include these types of interactions and recent examples in industry show that the system stability will be jeopardised if no ...
