This Project Will Develop Innovative Controls and Protection for a Multi-terminal High-voltage Direct Current (MT HVDC) Network and Implement and Validate Them on a Distributed Software-in-the-loop (SIL) Platform. the Specific Objectives of the Program Are: • De-risk Mt-hvdc Technology in the Context of U.s. Offshore Wind Integration Through Development of Innovative Controls and Protection Strategies. • Validate the Proposed Controls and Protection Strategies Against Standard Functional Requirements (in Coordination With Topic Area 1A) With a Standardized Library of Models Developed Through the Program. • Use a Benchmark MT HVDC Grid Model Developed Under Topic 1A to Innovate, Test, and Validate New DC Technologies. • Build a New Distributed Sil Platform, Multisim, as a National-level Infrastructure; Set the Foundation for Cost-effective and Fast Validation of Multi-vendor Interoperability. • Coordinate With Topic Area 1B Project to Facilitate the Testing/utilization of Multisim. Establish a Cooperation Framework Among Different Parties Involved in This Project to Build World-leading Technical Capabilities and Lab Infrastructure Aimed Towards Future Commercial Collaborations.
