The phase-resolved diagram appears to suggest that the fast transients,caused during switching,trigger some PD events.Measurements were also performed with the aid of a modern PD measurement instrument having noise separation capabilities.The findings from the online PD measurements are verified with physical evidence,found after the bushing was removed from service,suggested internal PD had occurred inside the bushing.展开更多

It is found that the direct tunneling gate current is a strong function of the gate's oxide thickness, but that it is less affected by the change in channel radius. It is also revealed that when the thickness of the equivalent oxide is constant, the thinner the first layer, the smaller the direct tunneling gate current.Moreover, it can be seen that the dielectric with a higher dielectric constant shows a lower tunneling current than expected. The accuracy of the analytical model is verified by the good agreement of its results with those obtained by the three-dimensional numerical device simulator ISE.展开更多

For power-flow modeling of integrated AC-DC systems, the base values of the various DC quantities can be defined in several ways, giving rise to different sets of per-unit system equations. It is observed that different per-unit system models affect the convergence of the power-flow algorithm differently. In a similar manner, the control strategy adopted for the DC link also affects the power- flow convergence. The sequential method is used to solve the DC variables in the Newton Raphson (NR) power flow model, where AC and DC systems are solved separately and are coupled by injecting an equivalent amount of real and reactive power at the terminal AC buses. Now, for a majority of the possible control strategies, the equivalent real and reactive power injections at the concerned buses can be computed a-priori and are independent of the NR iterative loop. However, for a few of the control strategies, the equivalent reactive power injections cannot be computed a-priori and need to be computed in every NR iteration. This affects the performance of the iterative process. Two different per-unit system models and six typical control strategies are taken into consideration. This is validated by numerous case studies conducted on the IEEE 118-bus and 300-bus test systems.展开更多

文摘An analytical direct tunneling gate current model for cylindrical surrounding gate(CSG) MOSFETs with high-k gate stacks is developed. It is found that the direct tunneling gate current is a strong function of the gate's oxide thickness, but that it is less affected by the change in channel radius. It is also revealed that when the thickness of the equivalent oxide is constant, the thinner the first layer, the smaller the direct tunneling gate current.Moreover, it can be seen that the dielectric with a higher dielectric constant shows a lower tunneling current than expected. The accuracy of the analytical model is verified by the good agreement of its results with those obtained by the three-dimensional numerical device simulator ISE.

文摘In the presence of an MMC-HVDC system,current differential protection(CDP)has the risk of failure in operation under an internal fault.In addition,CDP may also incur security issues in the presence of current transformer(CT)saturation and outliers.In this paper,a current trajectory image-based protection algorithm is proposed for AC lines connected to MMC-HVDC stations using a convolution neural network improved by a channel attention mechanism(CA-CNN).Taking the dual differential currents as two-dimensional coordinates of the moving point,the moving-point trajectories formed by differential currents have significant differences under internal and external faults.Therefore,internal faults can be identified using image recognition based on CA-CNN.This is improved by a channel attention mechanism,data augmentation,and adaptive learning rate.In comparison with other machine learning algorithms,the feature extraction ability and accuracy of CA-CNN are greatly improved.Various fault conditions like different net-work structures,operation modes,fault resistances,outliers,and current transformer saturation,are fully considered to verify the superiority of the proposed protection algorithm.The results confirm that the proposed current trajectory image-based protection algorithm has strong learning and generalizability,and can identify internal faults reliably.

文摘Fast and reliable detection of faults is a significant technical challenge in transient-based protection for a modular multi-level converter(MMC)based high voltage direct current(HVDC)system.This is because existing protection schemes rely heavily upon setting a complicated protective threshold,the failure of which causes high DC-fault currents in HVDC grids,and MMC is prone to such strong transient currents.In this context,this paper proposes a DC-line fault diagnosis technique based on a tuned long-short-term memory(LSTM)algorithm to improve the response and accuracy of transient-based protection.The discrete wavelet transform(DWT)extracts the transient features of DC-line voltages in the frequency-time domain.Many healthy and faulty samples are incorporated during training even by considering the noise influence.After training,numerous test samples are run to evaluate the proposed algorithm’s robustness under various fault conditions.Test results show the proposed algorithm can detect DC faults and has a high recognition accuracy of 98.6%.Compared to contemporary techniques,it can perform well to identify DC-line faults because of the efficient training of characteristic features.

文摘High Voltage Direct Current(HVDC) grids are the most effective solutions for collection, integration and transmission of large scale remote renewable resources to load centers. A HVDC grid test model can provide a common reference and study platform for researchers to compare the performance and characteristics of a DC grid with different DC control functions and protection strategies. It can also provide reference cases for testing of simulators and digital programs. This paper proposes a comprehensive HVDC grid test model and the associated four sub test models for system studies to meet the research purposes and requirements for different DC grid application scenarios. The design concept, topologies, configurations and functions of the test models are described in detail and their basic system data for load flow studies are provided. Finally load flow simulation studies with PSS/E(Power System Simulator/Engineering) program for each of the models are undertaken and the corresponding results are presented and analyzed in the paper.

文摘The main objective of this paper is three-fold.First, to provide an overview of the current status of the power electronics technology, one of the key actors in the upcoming smart grid paradigm enabling maximum power throughputs and near-instantaneous control of voltages and currents in all links of the power system chain. Second, to provide a bridge between the power systems and the power electronic communities, in terms of their differing appreciation of how these devices perform when connected to the power grid. Third, to discuss on the role that the power electronics technology will play in supporting the aims and objectives of future decarbonized power systems. This paper merges the equipment, control techniques and methods used in flexible alternating current transmission systems(FACTS) and high voltage direct transmission(HVDC) equipment to enable a single, coherent approach to address a specific power system problem, using ‘best of breed’ solutions bearing in mind technical, economic and environmental issues.

文摘In order to overcome the problems of power flow control and fault current limiting in multi-terminal high voltage direct current(MTDC)grids,this paper proposes a modular multi-terminal DC power flow controller(MM-DCPFC)with fault current limiting function.The topology structure,operation principle,and equivalent circuit of MM-DCPFC are introduced,and such a structure has the advantages of modularity and scalability.The power balance mechanism is studied and a hierarchical power balance control strategy is proposed.The results show that MM-DCPFC can achieve internal power exchange,which avoids the use of external power supply.The fault characteristics of MM-DCPFC are analyzed,fault current limiting and self-protection methods are proposed,and the factors affecting the current limiting capability are studied.The simulation models are established in PLECS,and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of MM-DCPFC in power flow control,fault current limiting,and scalability.In addition,a prototype is developed to validate the function and control method of MM-DCPFC.

文摘This paper presents a theoretical study of damping,synchronizing and inertial control laws,implemented using controllable power injection devices like HVDC,FACTS or renewable-energy/storage systems which have power-electronic grid interfaces.The approach is to use a simplified dynamical model of a power system to arrive at generalized results regarding the effect of the strategies on the electro-mechanical dynamics of the system.These results are not dependent on the size,network topology and operating condition of the power system.This paper presents a differential-algebraic formulation and generalized eigenvalue analysis to facilitate a unified study of the effects of the control laws on the electro-mechanical modes.The damping,synchronizing and inertial control laws can themselves be extended to include the possibility of mutualdamping,synchronizing and inertial effects when multiple devices are present.The control laws are not only simple and intuitive,but also are found to have a predictable and generally beneficial impact on the electro-mechanical dynamics of the grid,even when detailed models are considered.
文摘Despite the many submarine telecommunications and power cables laid world-wide there are fewer than ten published studies of their environmental effects in the refereed literature.This paper describes an investigation into the effects of laying and operating the Basslink High Voltage Direct Current(HVDC)cable and its associated metallic return cable across Bass Strait in South East Australia.Over more than 95%of its length the cable was directly laid into a wet jetted trench given the predominantly soft sediments encountered.Underwater remote video investigations found that within two years all visible evidence of the cable and trench was gone at over a third of the transects at six deep water sites(32-72 m deep).At other deep water transects the residual trench trapped drift material providing habitat for the generally sparsely distributed benthic community.Diver surveys at both of the near shore sites(<15 m deep)on the northern side of the Strait also found the cable route was undetectable after a year.On the southern side,where the cable traversed hard basalt rock near shore,it was encased in a protective cast iron half shell.Ecological studies by divers over 3.5 years demonstrated the colonization of the hard shell by similar species occupying hard substrates elsewhere on the basalt reef.Magnetic field strengths associated with the operating cable were found to be within 0.8%of those predicted from theory with strength dropping rapidly with distance from the cable.Beyond 20 m the field was indistinguishable from background.
文摘This paper demonstrates the convergence of the integrated AC-DC power-flow algorithm as affected by the selection of different base values for the DC quantities and adoption of different control strategies for the DC link. For power-flow modeling of integrated AC-DC systems, the base values of the various DC quantities can be defined in several ways, giving rise to different sets of per-unit system equations. It is observed that different per-unit system models affect the convergence of the power-flow algorithm differently. In a similar manner, the control strategy adopted for the DC link also affects the power- flow convergence. The sequential method is used to solve the DC variables in the Newton Raphson (NR) power flow model, where AC and DC systems are solved separately and are coupled by injecting an equivalent amount of real and reactive power at the terminal AC buses. Now, for a majority of the possible control strategies, the equivalent real and reactive power injections at the concerned buses can be computed a-priori and are independent of the NR iterative loop. However, for a few of the control strategies, the equivalent reactive power injections cannot be computed a-priori and need to be computed in every NR iteration. This affects the performance of the iterative process. Two different per-unit system models and six typical control strategies are taken into consideration. This is validated by numerous case studies conducted on the IEEE 118-bus and 300-bus test systems.
