2nd Edition
by Dragan Jovcic (Author)
Presents the latest
developments in switchgear and DC/DC converters for DC grids, and
includes substantially expanded material on MMC HVDC
This
newly updated edition covers all HVDC transmission technologies
including Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC; Voltage Source Converter
(VSC) HVDC, and the latest VSC HVDC based on Modular Multilevel
Converters (MMC), as well as the principles of building DC transmission
grids.
Featuring new material throughout, High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition
offers several new chapters/sections including one on the newest MMC
converters. It also provides extended coverage of switchgear, DC grid
protection and DC/DC converters following the latest developments on the
market and in research projects. All three HVDC technologies are
studied in a wide range of topics, including: the basic converter
operating principles; calculation of losses; system modelling, including
dynamic modelling; system control; HVDC protection, including AC and DC
fault studies; and integration with AC systems and fundamental
frequency analysis. The text includes:
- A chapter dedicated to hybrid and mechanical DC circuit breakers
- Half bridge and full bridge MMC: modelling, control, start-up and fault management
- A chapter dedicated to unbalanced operation and control of MMC HVDC
- The advancement of protection methods for DC grids
- Wideband and high-order modeling of DC cables
- Novel
treatment of topics not found in similar books, including
SimPowerSystems models and examples for all HVDC topologies hosted by
the 1st edition companion site.
High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition serves as an ideal textbook for a graduate-level course or a professional development course.
