A novel embedded voltage‐clamped circuit for multilevel modular converters submodule to suppress very fast transient overvoltage

High Voltage
The submodule in multilevel modular converters experiences a very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) during switch operation of gas‐insulated switchgear, which also results in overvoltage on power devices, such as thyristors and insulated gate bipolar ...

Accurate Fault Current Phasor Estimation in Series‐Compensated Transmission Lines Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimisation

IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A new evolutionary search algorithm based on improved Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is introduced in this study to estimate the phasor. The performance has been evaluated through extensive simulations considering transient components, harmonics, and frequency changes in noiseless and noisy conditions.

Determining the effect of bismuth oxide on the microstructure and electrical response of cold‐sintered ZnO varistors

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

Study on the Unipolar Impulse Aging Characteristics of ZnO Varistors and Their Condition Monitoring Methods

Applied Sciences
Metal-oxide surge arresters (MOSAs) are critical devices for overvoltage protection in power systems, and the aging characteristics of their zinc oxide (ZnO) varistors under impulse and power-frequency voltages exhibit significant differences.

Analysis of the failure mechanism of ZnO varistors influenced by high‐resistance media based on multi‐field coupling simulation

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 673-679, June 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on the distribution of high‐resistance media (pores and spinels) within ZnO $\text{ZnO}$ varistors and explores the mechanical and electrical failure mechanisms of varistors under different pulse actions. Micro‐CT technology revealed that the proportion of high‐resistance media in the edge area is much higher than in the ...

Control strategy of novel hybrid commutated converter based on reverse blocking integrated gate commutated thyristor for commutation failure mitigation

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 546-554, June 2025.
Abstract Commutation failure (CF) is an inherent problem faced by line commutated converter high voltage direct current (LCC‐HVDC) technology. To completely solve the problem of CF, we have proposed a novel hybrid commutated converter (HCC) technology based on reverse blocking integrated gate commutated thyristor, which can utilise two methods for ...
