Requirements for AC/DC converter stations, DC switching stations, Power Park modules and DC Grid controller offline models, SIL models and C&P cubicles

May 2024

The successful development of multi-vendor, multi-terminal HVDC grids hinges on having robust HVDC and wind power plant models and replicas that ensure seamless interoperability.

InterOPERA partners have collaboratively defined a comprehensive set of minimum requirements to guide the creation and use of these models and replicas while:

• addressing key challenges such as balancing accessibility with IP protection
• ensuring long-term usability, maintaining high performance, and
• providing thorough documentation for practical application.

This detailed effort has culminated in the report “Requirements for AC/DC converter stations, DC switching stations, Power Park modules and DC Grid controller offline models, SIL models and C&P cubicles” prepared by the experts of Work Package 1. It outlines around 150 well-justified and self-assessed requirements, designed to facilitate their effective dissemination and implementation.
