Speech Title: Transformation of Power Systems and Electricity Markets Under “Dual Carbon” Target

Abstract: China has been striving to peak CO2 emissions by 2030, and work towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. In order to achieve the dual carbon target, the power system needs to reform the energy structure on the power generation side, eliminate or renovate the existing fossil energy thermal generating units with high carbon emissions, and increase the investment and development of clean energy sources such as hydro, nuclear, wind and solar. These will bring significant changes to the power supply structure, grid characteristics and great opportunities for the development of power industry. The key technical and institutional problems are discussed in this talk.

Speech Title: Railway Decarbonisation Technologies -Traction Power Network with Renewable Sources and Energy Storages

Abstract: Influenced by the growing daily travel demand of citizens and extension of urban land, the construction of the urban railway transit system is gradually increasing nowadays. This situation implies more electricity consumption in URT and more challenges to URT operation stability. Besides, the U.K. government is now accelerating the development of decarbonization urban railway transit (URT), leading to the integration of URT, renewable energy source, and energy storage system.
In this talk, Dr Tian will first introduce the Railway Decarbonisation Technologies which have been recently studied. Then, a multi-source traction system with the coordinated control strategy will be introduced. This system can reduce the energy consumption and improve the operation stability like reducing substation peak power and voltage sags. In the traction system modelling, a detailed modelling method will be presented which reflect the characteristics of URT. As for coordinated control strategy, the main control principle will be presented including ESS control optimization method. Also, some case studies are also illustrated to verify the proposed method.

Speech Title: Commutation Failure Mitigation in LCC-HVDC Transmission Networks Through Optimal Tuning of Control Parameters

Abstract: Commutation failure is one of the main challenges in LCC-HVDC systems that happens due to the voltage depression at the inverter ac bus. The approaches to prevent commutation failure can be broadly classified into three categories, i.e. modification of the HVDC control system, power electronic-based strategies, and fault current limiting-based strategies. Among these approaches, modification of the HVDC control system is still regarded as the most economical one. However, most of the existing methods based on the modification of the HVDC control system function based on advancing the firing angle immediately after fault incidents, while neglecting parameter setting of the HVDC control system. In this talk, first, different commutation failure influencing factors are analyzed on a CIGRE Benchmark model to investigate the most severe fault type case. Subsequently, an objective function is proposed to minimize the errors of extinction angle and DC power by selecting appropriate HVDC control parameters. To fulfill this, a data-sharing platform based on MATLAB/PSCAD is developed, in which MATLAB generates random solutions and PSCAD receives and interprets the created solutions and reports the average errors under different fault initial phase times and fault inductances. Such iterative process continues until the average errors associated with both extinction angle and DC power are minimized under different weights.
