MVDC Feasibility Assessment in High-Renewable Distribution Networks: A German 110 kV/20kV Case Study

Electrical power systems are expected to experience significantly higher loading in the coming decades due to electrification goals across various energy sectors and the emergence of large loads such as data centers and charging stations. At the same time, with the increasing capacity of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), curtailments are becoming more frequent due to limitations in network capacity to deliver energy to load points or transfer it through connection points. In such conditions, DC systems can enhance network operation and address challenges associated with high loads and large RES capacities. In this work, the feasibility of Medium
