    Abstract : High-voltage DC (HVDC) grids are considered promising for the electricity grid expansion required to integrate renewable energy sources into the existing infrastructure. DC fault currents increase rapidly and lack a current zero crossing. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Design of Ultra-fast Electro-Mechanical Actuators

    Author : Ara Bissal; Göran Engdahl; Torbjörn Lembke; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electro-mechanical drive; Circuit breakers; HVDC transmission; Eddy currents; Finite element; Electromagnetic; Thermal; Mechanical; Coils; Armature; Image motion analysis.;

    Abstract : The continuously increasing demand for connecting electric grids with remote renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic cells has rekindled interest in high voltage direct current (HVDC) multi-terminal networks. Although HVDC networks have numerous benefits, their adoption relies entirely on the availability of HVDC circuit breakers which, compared to traditional alternating current circuit breakers, have to operate in a time frame of milliseconds.

  5. 3. Ultra-fast electromechanical commutation switch for hybrid breakers

    Author : Mrunal Parekh; Marley Becerra Garcia; Christian Franck; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : In a power system with the ability to integrate geographically spread diverse renewable energy sources, there is a need for efficient control of the power flow and effective power transmission. Power electronics can provide this controllability, at the expense of conductive losses in the used components. READ MORE
