MultiDC member, PhD student of Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH) Danilo Obradovic successfully defended his Licentiate thesis! Danilo has shown big potential in improving frequency stability using an enhanced HVDC control. By synchronizing the control actions of several HVDC links, their droop based supplementary action relieves the work that primary frequency control (FCR-D)[…]
The eight multiDC workshop adapted to “new normal” and again held online! The focus of the meeting was the NSWPH and its influence on the power flows and frequency in the Nordic power system. The feedback from industry and various TSOs were positive and new analysis directions are identified! Apart from that, the discussion started[…]
We are proud to announce that multiDC work was mentioned in Ingeniøren journal! 1. “Optimizing the market-clearing algorithm can save the Nordic electricity grid millions every year“ The proposal by multiDC is to include piece-wise HVDC loss factor and AC lines loss factors. The outcome would decrease the flows between zones with zero price difference[…]
Great news – three multiDC papers got accepted in highly regarded Cigre Session 2020 conference on new and emerging technologies in electrical power systems! 1. “The North Sea Wind Power Hub: System Configurations, Grid Implementation, and Techno-economic Assessment” prepared by Misyris, T. Van Cutsem, J. . Moller, M. Dijokas, O. Renom Estragues, B. Bastin, S.[…]
These challenging times due to the COVID-19 virus forced everyone to adapt, but we are happy to announce that the seventh multiDC workshop was organized – this time online! The workshop was organized into two sessions: a technical committee and a steering committee. During the technical committee, work packages 2-5 were addressed, where the EMT[…]

On 6. – 7. in March, multiDC had its fifth workshop towards “Controlling the power flows”. This time the event was hosted by Energinet in Fredericia, Denmark – headquarters of Energinet! During the main session, the discussion was focused on the North Sea Wind Power Hub operation in zero-inertia, the political context of the project,[…]
Last week from 7. – 9. November, we had our second “multiDC – Controlling the power flows” workshop. This time the event was hosted by ABB in Ludvika, Sweden. We had great discussions with the engineers from ABB HVDC about operation challenges and control of near-zero inertia AC systems. Needless to say, particular focus was[…]
