| Abstract |
VSC-HVDC system is vulnerable to a DC fault because the fault current can be injected from AC system to DC system during the fault. Therefore, DC circuit breaker is required to isolate faults in VSC-HVDC system. The inverse current injection method of circuit breaker has been considered as DC circuit breaker. However, the topology has drawback that the breaking time is longer than hybrid circuit breaker using semiconductor devices. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved topology of circuit breaker based on inverse current injection method. In addition, the proposed topology will be compared with the existing topology. And we will verify its effects by using the simulation results. |
