Conference Keynote Speaker II

Prof. Chul-Hwan Kim
Sungkyunkwan University, Korea

Speech Title: AC/DC Hybrid Distribution Systems: Recent Trend and Approaches
Abstract: As DC power sources and DC loads are connected to the power system on a large scale, the conventional AC distribution systems are reaching their limitations. In response, medium-voltage DC (MVDC) distribution systems are emerging as an alternative for the next-generation distribution system. In Republic of Korea, the goal is to operate an AC/DC hybrid distribution system by 2030, and partially replacing existing AC distribution system with DC distribution system is being considered. With the same conductor and insulation ratings, a DC line can transmit roughly twice the power of an AC line. Medium-voltage DC (MVDC) distribution is also expected to substantially increase the hosting capacity for renewable resources, DC sources, and DC loads. Operationally, MVDC avoids frequency-related stability constraints, experiences lower voltage drop and reduced losses because reactive power is absent, enables more efficient integration of DC sources and loads through direct interconnection, and improves overall asset utilization by enabling controllable power flows via power-electronic converters.
