Technology Update - From Data Analytics to HVDC Grids - I

The energy transition in Europe places new requirements on the transmission grid. If it comes to large scale wind power integration in the north of Europe, as well as bulk solar power production in south, long distance bulk power transmission becomes integral part of an entirely new power system where new controllable devices will operate to make transmission smarter and more efficient. New sensor technology and new data processing methods can also make better and, above all, safer use of the asset base. The network as a whole is becoming more secure and, against this background, can also be utilized to a greater extent. New protection concepts are emerging and contribute to better handling of dynamic phenomena. This session will give a technology update on all these new technologies and methods with a special focus on activities in this context in Europe.
