About
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has developed a system that stabilizes voltage and frequency in isolated grids—such as offshore wind farms—enabling their integration into the main grid through HVDC-LCC (Line-Commutated Converter) links. This technology offers a simpler, more robust and cost-effective alternative to HVDC-VSC systems.
The system enables decoupled voltage and frequency control using vector control and capacitor banks, generating a stable voltage waveform even during grid connection to rectifier stations. It improves efficiency, reduces converter losses, supports higher DC voltages and allows longer-distance power transmission.
Collaboration sought: License agreements or technical cooperation with companies in offshore wind, smart grids or HVDC systems to advance development and integration into commercial solutions.
