“…This is mainly due to the installation of off-shore wind farms, the use of high voltage AC cables for grid development, and partially due to human safety requirements against electrostatic and electromagnetic hazards caused by overhead transmission lines [1]. For example, a 400kV AC submarine cable connecting Italian mainland and Sicily Island is under construction [2]. The Boutre-Trans project of the French Transmission System Operator (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) involves the installation of a 66 km long 225 kV AC cable in the south east of France.…”

“…The most challenging system faults are those in the HVdc-grid due to the free-wheeling diodes of the VSCs. Research has been made about short-circuit faults in the HVdc link [12], including fault location [30] and protection [9,13]. The contributions of this paper are the analysis of the pole-to-ground fault taking into account the grounding of the bipolar system, and the system operation at reduced power after the fault.…”

New High Voltage Interconnections with Islands in the Mediterranean Sea: Malta and Sicily. Analysis of the Effects on Renewable Energy Sources Integration and Benefits for the Electricity Market

The present paper shows the benefits coming from the operation of the recent electrical high voltage (HV) interconnections between Sicily, Malta and mainland Italy. These new interconnections allow zonal prices of electricity considerably lower than in the past, ensuring greater flexibility to the system and a better integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). After briefly illustrating the two high-voltage electrical systems (Sicily and Malta), and having provided a description of the interconnection cable with Malta and its protection devices, the authors hypothesized two modes of operation (Sicily-Malta system islanded or interconnected to the rest of Europe). For the first case (islanded) some simulations are performed through the use of an electric network model realized in the Neplan ® environment, and for the second case an analysis of one year real data was made. The results of the simulation, thanks to the use of a power flow tracing method, show that this new interconnection between the two islands (Sicily and Malta) allows an important improvement in the integration and dispatching of the power generated by RES of the Sicilian territory, better operation of traditional Sicilian generation units, lower electricity zonal prices and a significant reduction in emissions from obsolete fuel oil thermal units located in Malta.
