Continuous Operation of Meshed HVDC Grids During DC Faults: HVDC Circuit Breaker Integration & Design from a System Perspective KU Leuven
Developments in Voltage-Source Converter (VSC) technology has enabled the massive integration of renewable energy resources using High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology. Large-scale HVDC grids provide the required flexibility and reliability to future transmission systems with high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources. However, in case of faults such as DC-side short-circuits, fast rising currents with high steady-state ...
