With this method, each DC circuit breaker (DC-CB), based on its own, local measurements (e.g. overcurrent, undervoltage) trips without discrimination. Using the same local measurements, the DC-CBs, discriminate “healthy” DC circuit(s) and re-close. This mainly aims to increase the speed of fault current interruption and reduce the duty of an individual DC-CB in blocking a fault. This paper develops the protection algorithms which can meet DC protection requirement with different fault types, locations and fault impedances. The analysis of the fault behaviour following the action of protection system in the event of a DC fault has also been given. Different DC fault characteristics have been described. Further validations of the robustness of the Open Grid via simulation models developed in PSCAD/EMTDC have been provided. Tests have shown that the Open Grid can successfully detect and discriminate DC faults in a meshed DC grid model.","PeriodicalId":362400,"journal":{"name":"15th IET International Conference on AC and DC Power Transmission (ACDC 2019)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121279370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the paper presents a modified structure for modular multilevel voltage source converter (VSC) topology where the conduction and switching losses can be significantly reduced. As the conduction losses of the semiconductor devices affect the total efficiency of such systems, replacing part of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) devices with thyristors in the conduction path of the proposed topology can reduce the total losses in the normal operation. Thus, both IGBTs and thyristors are implemented in a hybrid configuration. In this configuration, the IGBT devices are responsible for voltage/current transitions between the positive and negative parts of the waveforms while the thyristor devices are responsible for conducting the currents in the other constant polarity regions. MATLAB simulations and scaled-down experiments show that the modified structure can reduce the total losses of the HVDC converter significantly.","PeriodicalId":362400,"journal":{"name":"15th IET International Conference on AC and DC Power Transmission (ACDC 2019)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128801984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
