Hybrid High Voltage DC Circuit Breaker Topology with Current Limiting Capability
DC circuit breaker (DCCB) is an important means to solve the short-circuit fault of DC system. In view of such a series of defects as weak current limiting effect
short operation life of arrester and slow fault isolation speed of the existing DCCB
a kind of hybrid high-voltage DC circuit breaker topology solution with current limiting capability (CLC-HDCCB) is proposed in this paper. The CLC-HDCCB current-carrying branch and transfer branch adopt double-bridge structure and possesses bidirectional on-off capability. The current-limiting part adopts current-limiting resistor inductor in parallel to limit the current
which significantly reduces the peak value and rise rate of fault current. The designed bleeder resistor bypasses the current-limiting inductance during the circuit breaking process
which reduces the energy absorbed by the arrester in single breaking operation. In addition
various conditions occurred in such DC system as breaking fault current
normal closing operation and breaking small current of the CLCHDCCB scheme is analyzed in detail and also the parameter selection method is given. Finally
the simulation verification is carried out on the PSCAD/EMTDC platform
and the results show that the proposed CLC-HDCCB scheme has certain advantages compared with the existing DCCB scheme in terms of fault current limiting
arrester energy absorption and fault clearing time.
