• openAccess   LCC-HVDC Connection of Offshore Wind Farms With Reduced Filter Banks 

      Blasco-Gimenez, Ramon; Aparicio, N.; Añó-Villalba, Salvador; Bernal-Pérez, S. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2013)
      Despite being more efficient, line commutated converter-HVDC links for the connection of large offshore wind farms have ac-filter bank size as one of their main drawbacks. This paper shows how the HVDC rectifier filter ...
    • openAccess   Protection Strategies for the Connection of Diode Rectifier-Based Wind Power Plants to HVdc Interconnectors 

      Martínez-Turégano, J.; Vidal-Albalate, Ricardo; Añó-Villalba, Salvador; Bernal-Perez, Soledad; Blasco-Gimenez, Ramon Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (2020-10-05)
      The connection of diode rectifier (DR)-based wind power plants (WPPs) to existing or planned high-voltage dc (HVdc) interconnectors can lead to important savings on cost and system robustness. Since the DR station usually ...
    • openAccess   Study of resonance in wind parks 

      Monjo, Lluís; Sainz, Luis; Liang, Jun; Pedra Durán, Joaquín Elsevier (2015)
      Wind turbine harmonic current emissions are a well-known power quality problem. These emissions flow through wind park impedances, leading to grid voltage distortion. Parallel resonance may worsen the problem because it ...
    • closedAccess   Wind power plant integration in voltage source converter HVdc grids with voltage droop control 

      Añó-Villalba, Salvador; Blasco-Gimenez, Ramon; Bernal-Pérez, S.; Belenguer Balaguer, Enrique Elsevier (2018)
      This paper introduces the use of a diode-based HVdc rectifier for the integration of a large off-shore wind power plant into an existing HVdc voltage source converter-based grid. The proposed control system allows for the ...
