Synthetic inertia in a LCC HVDC system
The thesis aims at analyzing the feasibility of implementing the synthetic inertia in a LCC HVDC line (Line Commutated Converter, i.e. with thyristors).
The student will study a part of a previous Ph.D. thesis on synthetic inertia applied to a grid supplied through Voltage Source Inverters, where synthetic inertia is obtained by d.c. capacitors.
Then, he will apply the same concepts to a dual network, i.e. a LCC HVDC one where synthetic inertia could be obtained by the energy stored in the smoothing inductor. See further details on beep
