Multi‐Layer MTDC Protection: Design and Simulation Assessment

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study proposes a novel multi‐layer protection architecture for multi‐terminal DC systems that separates fault current‐limiting and interruption functions. By combining a thyristor‐based fault current limiter with an active resonance circuit breaker, the scheme significantly reduces peak fault currents and di/dt stress, enabling a more compact ...

Stability and Synchronization of MMC‐HVDC Systems Using SRF and Inertia‐Based PLLs

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study investigates the influence of synchronous reference frame PLL (SRF‐PLL) and the inertia PLL (IPLL) on the stability of grid‐connected modular multilevel converter high voltage direct current (MMC‐HVDC) systems. The findings highlight intrinsic stability limitations of PLL‐based systems, offering insights toward more stable, PLL‐less ...

Non‐Contact Turn‐Off Time Measurement Method for IGBTs in the Half‐Bridge Submodule Configuration of MMC

open access: yesIET Power Electronics, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes a non‐contact method for measuring the turn‐off time of insulated‐gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices in modular multilevel converters (MMC) submodules, using the decay of load‐side common‐mode current. The technique leverages existing current‐sensing infrastructure and avoids intrusive modifications, enabling real‐time ...
