Protection of HVDC networks is a complex engineering challenge – and the subject of intense research into new concepts. Several potential, contrasting and collaborative, solutions are currently under study.
For technical and economic reasons, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission is preferable to conventional AC transmission for the transition towards large power grids able to transmit renewable energy over long distances, that is, from the production zones to the consumption zones. However, this shift raises several fundamental challenges, notably in the field of DC grid protection and control, which calls for new fields of investigation. Alstom is today addressing the needs of future DC network protection through research undertaken jointly by its network protection experts and its HVDC development group.
