| Sumario: | This thesis deals with grid integration of oshore wind power plants through HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) or HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) transmission . The behaviour of wind farms and their transmission systems in normal operation and under faults is analyzed. On the eld of HVDC transmission , a control scheme based on an optimum voltage algorithm is proposed and compared to voltage droop control. The dierences between the proposed scheme and droop control in terms of losses are analyzed, in steady state as well as dynamically. This new control scheme is enhanced, being able to perform secondary and tertiary control strategies simultaneously for DC grids. Concerning HVAC transmission, the operation of AC connected wind power plants equipped with full power converter wind turbines is analyzed under deep voltage sags on the main AC grid. Standard control schemes, based on the strict application of grid codes, can lead to instability problems when this kind of severe disturbances occurs. A coordinated control scheme is proposed to operate the system, ensuring fault ride through capability. An index alerts of instability proximity and allows to actívate active power and reactive power regulation to guarantee safe operation during faults. For enabling the optimal operation of transmission systems, an optimal power flow tool is described for hybrid HVDC-HVAC systems, for different objective functions. This tool is tested in a scaled platform. Finally, the secure and optimal operation of these systems is analysed for a scenario with high penetration of oshore wind, proposing a methodology to evaluate the cost of operation and wind energy curtailed. |
