Presents the latest developments in switchgear and DC/DC converters
for DC grids, and includes substantially expanded material on MMC HVDC
This newly updated edition covers all HVDC transmission technologies
including Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC; Voltage Source Converter
(VSC) HVDC, and the latest VSC HVDC based on Modular Multilevel
Converters (MMC), as well as the principles of building DC transmission
grids.
Featuring new material throughout, High Voltage Direct Current
Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition offers
several new chapters/sections including one on the newest MMC
converters. It also provides extended coverage of switchgear, DC grid
protection and DC/DC converters following the latest developments on the
market and in research projects. All three HVDC technologies are studied
in a wide range of topics, including: the basic converter operating
principles; calculation of losses; system modelling, including dynamic
modelling; system control; HVDC protection, including AC and DC fault
studies; and integration with AC systems and fundamental frequency
analysis. The text includes:
- A chapter dedicated to hybrid and mechanical DC circuit breakers
- Half bridge and full bridge MMC: modelling, control, start-up and
fault management
- A chapter dedicated to unbalanced operation and control of MMC HVDC
- The advancement of protection methods for DC grids
- Wideband and high-order modeling of DC cables
- Novel treatment of topics not found in similar books, including
SimPowerSystems models and examples for all HVDC topologies hosted by
the 1st edition companion site.
High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC
Grids, 2nd Edition serves as an ideal textbook for a graduate-level
course or a professional development course.
