When connecting a wind park (WP) to the main grid (MG) by way of an HVDC Light transmission system, the WP becomes decoupled from the MG, which results in several technical and economical benefits, on a variety of aspects, for transmission system operators (TSOs), WP developers and WTG manufacturers. Perhaps most important for TSOs is that an HVDC-Light connected WP becomes comparable to a normal power plant; the MG-side HVDC Light converter can be directly connected to a control or power dispatch center. A desirable consequence is also that AC faults appearing in the WP or MG grid will not be propagated by the HVDC Light transmission system, which has several desirable consequences such as possibly reduced mechanical stresses on the WTGs. In addition, grid code compliance mainly becomes the responsibility for HVDC Light, which results in that WTG and WP developers may place more focus on reliability, efficiency and cost reduction issues. Furthermore, the inherent HVDC Light voltageand frequency-control capability simplifies WP black starts and WP energization transients will not transfer to the MG. An HVDC Light transmission system, being environmentally friendly with very low electromagnetic fields, oil-free cables and compactly dimensioned converter stations, also allows for more freedom to select the “right” connection point to the MG, which may avoid that the WP introduces grid “bottlenecks” and undesirable new load-flow paths.
