The Impact

The most basic transient a circuit breaker needs to suffer during its activity is the transient recovery voltage (TRV), started by the electric force system as a characteristic response on flow interference. To test high voltage CBs, direct testing utilizing the force system or short out alternators are not practical. The testing of high voltage Circuit Breakers (CBs) of bigger limit requires huge limit of testing station. An equal infusion of short out current and transient voltage to medium and high voltage circuit breaker (CB) by a synthetic model is examined. Transient recovery voltage is made by a capacitor bank and is applied to CB. An optical set off spark gap has been utilized to interrupt short circuit and to introduce of transient recovery voltage that is applied across the contacts of circuit breaker. Transient recovery voltage examination can never be done totally, as the advancement of circuit breaker development and organization configuration goes on. The most widely recognized way to deal with TRV examination is concerning the supposed planned TRV, in which a suspicion of dismissing association between circuit breaker itself and the innate system recovery voltage is being made. Notwithstanding, it actually is by all accounts qualified to examine what circuit breaker means for transient recovery voltage. An ideal grouping to open/close of reinforcement test article and helper circuit breakers inside suitable chance to infuse of recovery voltage. The impact of reactance of inductive flaw current limiter just as distance to blame in short line issue condition on pace of ascent of recovery voltage. A 4-boundaries TRV synthetic test circuit dependent on equal current infusion technique is planned and mimicked for testing 145kV rating circuit-breakers according to new TRV prerequisites given in IEC 62271-100.

Abstract When a short-circuit fault occurs on the transmission lines of high voltage DC transmission system based on modular multilevel converters, the fault cannot be cleared by adjusting the converter control system, which results in longer recovery time. Aiming at the problem above, a fault self-clearing scheme based on the fault clearing module for the half-bridge converter station is proposed. Combined with the actual operating status of the flexible DC transmission project, centralized parameter models are utilized to analyze the fault self-clearing mechanism. Besides, the impact of the discharge branch on the fault clearing effect is studied in depth to provide a design consideration for the fault clearing module and improve the comprehensive benefits of the proposed scheme. PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results show that the introduction of the fault clearing module in the half-bridge converter station can effectively suppress the fault short-circuit current and shorten the fault clearing time. In addition, circuit breakers on both sides of the line do not need to be tripped, providing a reliable guarantee for the subsequent adaptive restart process.
