Fault Interruption Scheme for HVDC System Using SiC-MESFET and VCB Based Hybrid Circuit Breaker

As high voltage DC power system is gaining popularity, power electronic switching devices are becoming increasingly advanced to overcome problems of timely fault isolation. In this context, hybrid DC circuit breakers (DCHCBs), especially, together with wideband gap-based semiconductor devices, play...

In this context, hybrid DC circuit breakers (DCHCBs), especially, together with wideband gap-based semiconductor devices, play a crucial role to tackle the current and voltage at high power and frequency. In this paper, a hybrid DC circuit breaker is designed leading to development of a fault interruption scheme for HVDC power system, as in HVDC system, fault interruption is considered more critical compared to the conventional high voltage AC (HVAC) power system. The proposed design of hybrid circuit breaker (HCB) involves combination of mechanical and electronic switches for efficient fault interruption.
