Future multi-terminal HVDC networks are expected to unlock significant renewable energy resources by reducing the need for excessive cabling, converter stations and land area. They also provide efficient transmission of energy across borders, helping to balance load and generation across large geographical and synchronous regions.
However, high-performance, cost-effective HVDC circuit breakers will be required to rapidly clear faults, segregate multi-terminal networks and provide stable power delivery. To be effective and limit ancillary equipment costs these must operate in a few milliseconds – an order of magnitude faster than those found in AC systems.
This presentation discusses ongoing development of DCCB technology demonstrated during the Horizon 2020 PROMOTioN project
