Supplementary control based on current source coupling for improving dynamic characteristics of active distribution network

Supplementary control (SC) technology is widely leveraged by power supply companies in active distribution networks (ADNs) to improve their stability and dynamic characteristics. Yet, the existed SCs are generally implemented from inside the converter controllers of distributed generators (DGs) or active loads, so there is a need to redesign...

Optimized algorithm of active injection circuit to calibrate DC circuit breaker

The widely acknowledged high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology has now been accepted as a solution of connecting renewable energy sources. However, this technology is vulnerable when facing DC-side faults; due to<br/>the low DC impedance, the fault current can rise to an extremely high value in a short time. In addition, when building a...

Investigation on the DC CB Performance during a Current Interruption Failure at First Current Zero

The vacuum interrupter is used as the key component of an active DCCB due to its excellent interruption and dielectric recovery characteristics after current zero. The vacuum interrupter can only interrupt the fault currents below the limitation of a critical di/dt and TIV, otherwise it causes a reignition and the interruption failure. In...
