Weerbare elektrische transmissienetten gebruik makende van HVDC flexibiliteit KU Leuven
The goal of the PhD will be to comprehensively develop a framework that allows for quantifying the benefits of utilizing HVDC to improve the system's resilience. To achieve this, the following aspects will be analyzed. 1. Definition of quantitative resilience metrics Resilience has various definitions, and the literature presents a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). However, there is still room for interpretation regarding KPIs ...
BEOWIND: BElgian Offshore WIND-energieparken: hulpmiddelen om de verlening van ondersteunende diensten, de stabiliteit van het netwerk en de levensduur van de infrastructuur te verbeteren. Universiteit Gent
In dit project worden innovatieve aspecten van de Belgische offshore windenergieparken onderzocht, zoals het leveren van netondersteunende diensten, o.a. deelname aan de frequentieregeling, stabiliteit van netten met een hoog aandeel aan windenergie, inschatting van de levensduur en predictief onderhoud. Er worden zowel fysische modellen als data-gedreven modellen ontwikkeld en gebruikt. Hierbij worden windturbinesystemen bestudeerd die ...
Multi-terminaal DC-net voor offshore wind. KU Leuven
A DC grid based on multi-terminal voltage-source converter is a newly emerging technology, which is particularly suitable for the connection of offshore wind farms. Multi-terminal DC grids will be the key technology for the European offshore SuperGrid.
In this proposal, DC power flow, DC relaying protection, steady state operation, dynamic stability, fault-ride through capability, and impacts of DC grids on the operation of AC grids and ...
Het versnellen van de inzet van offshore wind met behulp van DC-technologie KU Leuven
Renewable power is one of the main drives to achieve carbon reduction and net-zero, and to meet the ambitious climate goals. In particular, offshore wind power in Europe has been developing at a rapid pace in recent years. Multi-Giga watts offshore wind farms with larger wind turbine power ratings, floating wind turbines installed in deeper water areas, and higher ratio of renewables integrated to existing power grids, are fundamentally ...
Kosteneffectieve en repliceerbare, met hernieuwbare energiebronnen geïntegreerde geëlektrificeerde verwarmings- en koelsystemen voor verbeterde energie-efficiëntie en vraagrespons KU Leuven
SEEDS unites a multidisciplinary and complementary team of SMEs, LEs, RTOs, and stakeholders that constitute the whole (local) value chain of energy efficiency in buildings and thermal demand electrification, from planning, design, and construction to operation and commissioning. SEEDS is built upon the consortium's vast experience in developing, testing, and valorizing decarbonization solutions, supervising real-life demonstrations of ...
Flexibel beheer van HVDC verbindingen en netwerken KU Leuven
Het onderzoeksproject heeft tot doel een wiskundig raamwerk te ontwikkelen dat de bestuurbare HVDC verbindingen in het systeem optimaliseert om een betrouwbare en kosteneffectieve netwerking te bereiken, rekening houdend met de onzekerheidsfactor in verschillende operationele tijdsbestanden en het multi-stakeholder karakter van het systeem. Idealiter zou een dergelijke wiskundige implementatie een niet-lineair, niet-convex, stochastisch ...
Peer to Peer Slimme Energiedistributienetwerken KU Leuven
P2P-SmartTest project investigates and demonstrates a smarter electricity distribution system integrated with advanced ICT, regional markets and innovative business models. It will employ Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approaches to ensure the integration of demand side flexibility and the optimum operation of DER and other resources within the network while maintaining second-to-second power balance and the quality and security of the supply. The ...
Vooruitgang op Meshed HVDC Offshore Transmissie Netwerken KU Leuven
In order to unlock the full potential of Europe’s offshore resources, network infrastructure is urgently required, linking off-shore wind parks and on-shore grids in different countries. HVDC technology is envisaged but the deployment of meshed HVDC offshore grids is currently hindered by the high cost of converter technology, lack of experience with protection systems and fault clearance components and immature international regulations and ...
Innovatieve gereedschappen voor offshore wind- en DC-grids KU Leuven
Europe’s power system has seen significant changes in recent decades, notably the development of renewable energy sources. However, this transition is far from complete, and further changes are essential to make our energy system ready to play its part in realising the climate goals set at COP21. At present, renewable energy sources are increasing their share of electricity generation. This is particularly the case for offshore wind energy. ...
