摘要
The protection of DC line faults is a key issue for the flexible high-voltage direct current system using modular multilevel converter (MMC-HVDC). Firstly, we analyzed the principle and separation step based on hybrid bypass of dc fault isolation. It is found that the fault current is transferred through the bypass bridge arm, and the fast mechanical switch will be opened in the zero current to realize the physical isolation of converter station and DC-link, and then eliminate dc fault current. In system recovery, an unlock the sub-module is not needed, whether dc fault is eliminated or not can be judged by conducing the bypass bridge arm, and then the fast mechanical switch is closed under the zero voltage and system recovery running. When DC fault belongs to permanent one, the converter station can run as STATCOM. The DC fault protection scheme can deal with both permanent and transient DC bipolar short-circuits and faults effectively. Finally, a model of a two-terminal monopolar HVDC grid is developed in PSCAD/EMTDC to prove the feasibility of this scheme. © 2019, High Voltage Engineering Editorial Department of CEPRI.
