Program
Cigré SC B4 Colloquium, Bergen June 10-12th 2009
“Northern European experiences and future needs of HVDC & FACTS applications”
Background and Scope
Northern Europe is a region with a high density of HVDC links and FACTS applications. The Colloquium will focus on the key drivers for HVDC and FACTS in this region and consequences of targets on renewables from the European Commission.
The Colloquium will address operational experiences of Northern European HVDC & FACTS projects and discuss how technological development can create new possibilities and markets.
The Colloquium will consist of a Technical Visit on June 10th, Sessions on June 11th and 12th, as well as the Colloquium evening dinner on June 11th. An accompanying persons program will take place in June 11th.
The Colloquium is directed towards transmission system operators (TSOs), generating companies, consultants, equipment and maintenance engineers, manufacturers, research institutions, universities and regulators.
Technical Visit, June 10th 2009
The bus departure from Bergen to Kolsnes will be at 15:00 hrs.
The technical visit on June 10th will go to the onshore rectifier station for Troll A VSC transmission system at Kollsnes, north of Bergen and StatoilHydro’s control centre for the gas processing and transportation system.
The VSC transmission scheme rated at 2x40 MW connects the onshore rectifier to the offshore inverter placed on the Troll A platform via four 70 km submarine cables.
Colloquium, June 11th 09:00 hrs – June 12th 15:00 hrs
The Colloquium will consist mainly of invited paper presentations grouped in five different topics and a closing panel discussion.
