DC grids for integration of large scale wind power

It is widely recognized that the future wind power development in the Nordic region will be to a large extent be offshore. The most promising technology for that is the voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC. A review of the most important options and state-of-the-art related to transients in HVDC systems, converters, grid topologies, control strategies and wind power clustering are presented in this paper.
