As Multi-Terminal HVDC (MTDC) systems grow in size and complexity, effective coordination becomes essential to ensure reliable and efficient operation.
In this interview, Ying Jiang Häfner, R&D Corporate Executive Engineer at Hitachi Energy, explains why the DC Grid Controller is a key enabler of MTDC systems. Acting as the coordinator of the DC grid, it continuously monitors operating conditions, manages power flows, maintains system stability and supports fast recovery from disturbances and faults.
The discussion highlights the advanced capabilities required for future MTDC networks, including real-time monitoring, power flow optimization, adaptation to different grid topologies and the ability to support system expansion as new converter stations are added over time.
As the energy transition accelerates, dedicated DC Grid Controler will be crucial for building flexible, scalable and resilient HVDC networks capable of integrating more renewable energy into the power system.
