Project overview:
Offshore Wind Black-Start Feasibility Framework for System Restoration Planning
Awardee:
Electric Power Research Institute
Start Date:
Q3, 2024
Technical Challenge Area:
Electrical Power Systems
Completion Date:
N/A (Currently Underway)
Synopsis:
This project aims to develop a generalized framework for incorporating offshore wind resources into power system restoration plans. This research focuses on identifying suitable network areas for using offshore wind in blackstart scenarios.
Target Outcomes:
1
Developing advanced inverter control strategies and metrics for system operators to integrate offshore wind in a controlled and reliable manner.
2
Develop a generalized framework which can be used on a system-wide basis in identifying the areas of the network that are most suitable for restoration with offshore wind under a range of different operational and contingency scenarios.
