This book discusses HVDC grids based on multi-terminal voltage-source converters (VSC), which is suitable for the connection of offshore wind farms and a possible solution for a continent wide overlay grid. HVDC Grids: For Offshore and Supergrid of the Future begins by introducing and analyzing the motivations and energy policy drives for developing offshore grids and the European Supergrid. HVDC transmission technology and offshore equipment are described in the second part of the book. The third part of the book discusses how HVDC grids can be developed and integrated in the existing power system. The fourth part of the book focuses on HVDC grid integration, in studies, for different time domains of electric power systems. The book concludes by discussing developments of advanced control methods and control devices for enabling DC grids. Presents the technology of the future offshore and HVDC grid Explains how offshore and HVDC grids can be integrated in the existing power system Provides the required models to analyse the different time domains of power system studies: from steady-state to electromagnetic transients This book is intended for power system engineers and academics with an interest in HVDC or power systems, and policy makers. The book also provides a solid background for researchers working with VSC-HVDC technologies, power electronic devices, offshore wind farm integration, and DC grid protection.

この一冊は、単なる技術書を超え、人類のエネルギーの未来を綴る壮大な叙事詩です。著者たちが描くのは、洋上風力と大陸を繋ぐスーパーグリッドという名の希望の架け橋。そこには、既存の電力システムを再定義しようとする知的な野心と、持続可能な世界を築く情熱が全編に満ち溢れています。 VSCという高度な論理に基づき、目に見えない電力の奔流を制御しようとするその論考は、科学と自然の調和を象徴する文学的な美しささえ感じさせます。静的な現状を打破し、動的な未来へ繋ぐダイナミックな変革のドラマに、読み手は技術者の魂が宿る先駆的な叡智を強く実感するはずです。
