Power Transmission and Distribution

Power Electronics at the Cable Ends

Power Transmission and Distribution 27-03-2006 Symposium TU Eindhoven, Netherlands High Voltage

Power Electronics at the Cable Ends

Two types of transmission applications: - HVDC High Voltage DC Transmission + DC Cables - FACTS & SVC Reactive Power Compensation + AC Cables Two types of power electronic switches: - controlled turn on switches (thyristors) - controlled turn on/turn off switches (GTO, IGCT, IGBT, etc..) Any combination of the above, but common requirement: - multi-megawatt rating of switchs/converters - with forced cooling and air insulation Economics dictate high voltage in excess of device ratings: - requirement for multiple series connection
