Transmission Systems
Due to the expansion of renewables and the dismantling of conventional power plants, the transmission systems are currently subject to major changes. In periods of high feed-in of power from renewable sources in particular, power is fed back from the distribution networks, while the load flows over long distances and the exchange of power with the network partners increases as well.
New transmission technologies and the complex characteristics of power systems without synchronous generation play a role as well. Current planning scenarios provide for the use of HVDC VSC systems for the transmission of power over long distances.
