This recently revised 2nd edition showcases the latest advancements in switchgear and DC/DC converters for DC electricity grids, significantly expanding on the topic of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) HVDC.
The updated textbook High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids 2E encompasses all HVDC transmission technologies, including Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC, Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC, and the newest VSC HVDC utilizing MMC. It also lays out the essential principles for constructing DC transmission grids.
With fresh content throughout, *High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition* introduces several new chapters and sections, particularly focusing on the latest MMC converters. Additionally, it offers more in-depth information on switchgear, protection systems for DC grids, and DC/DC converters, reflecting the most recent market developments and research initiatives. The book discusses all three HVDC technologies across various subjects, including: fundamental operating principles of converters; loss calculations; system modeling, including dynamics; system control; HVDC protection and fault analysis for both AC and DC; as well as integration with AC systems and frequency analysis. The content features:
- Advanced modeling techniques for DC cables
- Innovations in protection strategies for DC grids
- A chapter on unbalanced operations and control of MMC HVDC
- A section focused on hybrid and mechanical DC circuit breakers
- Modeling, control, start-up, and fault management for half bridge and full bridge MMCs
- A unique approach to topics absent in comparable texts, including SimPowerSystems models and examples for all HVDC configurations available on the companion site of the 1st edition.
*High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition* is an excellent resource for graduate-level courses or professional development programs.
