Analysis on Number Limitation of BOD Triggered Thyristors in a Thyristor Valve
Light triggered thyristor valves have been widely used in many Chinese HVDC or UHVDC power transmission projects
such as Xiluodu Project
GG I Project
and GG II Project
where many thyristors are connected in series in a thyristor valve.Break over diode(BOD) circuits are integrated into each thyristor to ensure reliable stand-by emergent protective triggering.The author analyzes the working principle of BOD circuit
and discusses the limiting principle of the maximum number of thyristors triggered by the BOD circuits in a thyristor valve.
