VSC & Grid Stabilization Technologies

The increased application of Voltage-Source Converter (VSC) technology has led to many new challenges and innovative applications of this technology. STATCOMs and VSC-HVDC are the two most common applications. This panel session describes emerging terms, new technologies, experimental configuration topologies as well as some implementation experiences with regard to these technologies. A key focus of this panel session is also the grid-stabilization applications and algorithms that are currently being applied worldwide. Some topics that are proposed to be discussed are: A. Grid-forming and Grid-following technologies B. VSC-STATCOM applications C. VSC-HVDC applications.
