Development of DC Circuit Breakers for Medium-Voltage Electrified Transportation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Medium-voltage DC (MVDC) distribution is an enabling technology for the electrification of transportation such as aircraft and shipboard. One main obstacle for DC distribution is the lack of adequate circuit fault protection.

Smart protection system for identification and localisation of faults in multi-terminal DC microgrid

open access: yesIET Smart Grid, 2020
DC microgrid provides the horizontal infrastructures to integrate distributed generation (DG) and loads. Unlike traditional AC systems, DC systems cannot survive or sustain high magnitude fault currents. It makes locating faults very difficult.

Research on current sharing of paralleled IGBTs in different DC breaker circuit topologies

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
IGBT modules used in series and parallel to satisfy the requirement in high-power DC circuit breakers are often prone to large-current destruction due to current unbalance between paralleled IGBTs.

DC interruption characteristic of vacuum circuit breaker

open access: yesElectrical Engineering in Japan, 2005
AbstractA high‐speed vacuum circuit breaker (HSVCB) has been investigated. HSVCB makes high‐frequency current superimposed on a fault current so that the current is forced to be zero and is interrupted. Its interruption performance is considered to be dependent on the rate of change of the current (di/dt). As a fundamental research, we investigated the

A Robotic Testing Platform for Pipelined Discovery of Resilient Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a robotic testing platform enabling high‐throughput, multi‐parameter lifetime mapping of linear dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). By integrating programmable high‐voltage control and automated electromechanical measurements, the system identifies material and operating conditions that double actuator lifetime.
