Abstract: |
High voltage direct current (HVDC) systems are efcient solutions for the integration of large-scale renewable energy
sources with the main power grids. The rapid development of the HVDC grid has resulted in a growing interest in DC
circuit breakers (DCCBs). A fast and reliable circuit breaker is a necessary requirement in the development of large
scale HVDC grids. This paper provides a comprehensive review and survey of the HVDC CBs and discusses potential
research directions. Operational principles and the main features of various DCCBs are described and their merits
and shortcomings are also highlighted. |
Key words: DC circuit breakers (DCCBs), High voltage direct current (HVDC) system, Multi-terminal HVDC (MT-HVDC),
