N2 - Wind energy will continue to grow
in Europe by means of the continent¿s climate
and energy policies. As a result, more wind turbines
will be progressively installed offshore. In
addition, future offshore wind farms have a tendency
to be larger in size and installed increasingly
away from shore. Hence, the development
of large offshore multi-terminal DC (MTDC) networks
seems to be one of the best ways of integrating
and sharing large amounts of offshore
wind power between several European countries.
This paper introduces how the correct choice for
transnational grids architecture can impact its
development and performance, and how modularity
can help overcome problems related with
the intrinsic complexity of such systems. Subsequently,
modular dynamic models of the most important
subsystems inside a MTDC network are
presented and, after derivation of the models, a
case study is carried out to assess the overall
system behavior and performance.
