Abstract

The future circular collider (FCC) is a cutting-edge particle accelerator being planned by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). It is designed to delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe than its predecessor, the large hadron collider (LHC). With a circumference of over 80 km, the FCC requires a reliable and efficient power transmission network to operate smoothly. The available power options for the FCC include a high-voltage dc transmission and radio frequency powering networks based on HVdc converters, such as the modular multilevel power converters or the 12-pulse thyristor rectifiers, each providing several benefits in power transmission efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, the converter selection, its control, and the protection aspects must be carefully designed to meet the unique requirements of the installation. This article examines different dc powering scenarios for the FCC and proposes a control and protection scheme compatible with the accelerator's operation mode. This approach ensures that the power system meets the FCC's specific needs and operates safely and effectively. The validity of the proposed control and protection strategies is verified by means of detailed computer simulations.

未来环形对撞机的直流供电解决方案：转换器拓扑、保护和控制

未来环形对撞机（FCC）是欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）正在规划的一种尖端粒子加速器。与它的前身大型强子对撞机（LHC）相比，它旨在更深入地探索宇宙的奥秘。FCC 周长超过 80 千米，需要可靠高效的输电网络才能顺利运行。可供 FCC 选择的电源包括基于高压直流转换器的高压直流输电和射频供电网络，如模块化多电平电源转换器或 12 脉冲晶闸管整流器，每种转换器都能在电源传输效率和成本效益方面提供多种优势。然而，必须对变流器的选择、控制和保护方面进行精心设计，以满足安装的独特要求。本文研究了 FCC 的不同直流供电方案，并提出了与加速器运行模式相匹配的控制和保护方案。这种方法可确保供电系统满足 FCC 的特定需求，并安全有效地运行。通过详细的计算机模拟，验证了所建议的控制和保护策略的有效性。
