Abstract
- In order to effectively reduce the commutation failure probability of the line commutated converter (LCC) based high-voltage direct current transmission system, a new hybrid LCC based on integrated gate commutated thyristor (IGCT) is proposed in this letter. In the proposed converter, a part of the thyristors is replaced by IGCTs. Reverse blocking IGCT is capable of withstanding bidirectional voltages and actively turning off fault currents, further interrupting the commutation failure process. The topology structure, high-power device, and the operation strategy are presented. Finally, the experimental results of a 30-kV/5-kA prototype verify the proposed scheme's effectiveness and correctness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
