Interactive Lab Assistant: High Voltage DC Transmission (HVDC)

The experiment instructions come in the form of an Interactive Lab Assistant course. This multimedia course is a step-by-step guide through the topic of modern photovoltaic energy systems. The physical fundamentals are conveyed using easy to understand animations. The Interactive Lab Assistant in conjunction with the virtual instruments constitutes a comfortable experimenting environment.

Special features:

• Interactive experiment setups
• Measured values and diagrams can be stored in the experiment instructions per drag and drop
• Virtual instruments can be started directly from the experiment instructions
• Includes questions with feedback and evaluation logic for progress monitoring
• Documents can be printed out for hardcopy of experiment instructions including solutions
• Labsoft browser, course software and virtual instruments
• Course duration 15 h approx.

Training contents:

• Fundamentals of high-voltage DC transmission (HVDC) lines
• Control of intermediate circuit voltage
• Provision of reactive power but with no effect on the flow of active power (STATCOM)
• Manual and automatic synchronisation with the electricity grid
• Control of HVDC active power with modification to the power flow
• Individual control of reactive power for both converter stations
• Observation of losses for HVDC lines of various lengths
• Provision of a power network with passive consumers by means of HVDC
