Cost Comparison of New DC Resource Connections to Railway MVDC vs. HVAC Networks

Résumé

The proliferation of Direct Current (DC) resources presents significant challenges for their connection to the grid, but also opportunities for new connection options, such as Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) networks. Railway MVDC (R-MVDC) networks are among potential candidates for new DC resource connections. As such, DC resources that are geographically located near an R-MVDC network may either connect to the latter or to the closest High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) network. In this paper, we provide a comparison framework for both connection options based on a detailed cost analysis that considers a high fidelity model for the R-MVDC network embedding DC resources that are optimally scheduled. Our numerical illustrations considering a hybrid power plant (solar plus battery) and an R-MVDC network from the literature provide useful insights on the impact of several parameters (e.g., converter ratings and characteristics) on the comparison outcome.
