Rationale

The German demo-site is based on available infrastructure and converter technologies developed in previous projects. It provides a modular design, easily reconfigurable to test different network architectures. The goal in HYPERIDE is to demonstrate different hybrid AC-DC architectures to increase the technology readiness level of key enabling technologies and systems.

Key Facts

Interconnection of

  • 5 km MVDC cables connecting three locations
  • Two MVAC connections to different grid operators
  • Large portfolio of high power DC/DC and DC/AC converters

Activities for hybrid AC-DC grids

  • MVAC coupling via MVDC
  • LVDC distribution to interface DC based prosumers
  • Test energy services: Optimal Power Flow (OPF) and fault management
  • Validation of DMU for advanced observability and state estimation
