The OPHELIA project demonstrator has
been implemented with:

unidirectional multilevel 800 kVA converter. Future phases are planned
to include plants some long with power

retain their original use while electricity production
becomes complementary activity. Such plants may only
a few meters wide but could reach length of
many kilometres, and peak power over tens
of megawatts (roughly MWp/km). The DC-AC
converter station protected with circuit
breaker; each MVDC feeder protected with a
DC circuit breaker, and each DC-DC converter
is protected with fuse. DC-DC converters ensure the
maximum power point tracking strings, and
they limit the active power requested the utility
grid operator. The pilot project consists
of three DC-DC converter stations, which are
interconnected radial MVDC network
