Research on Safety Technology for High-Speed Interruption for Mining Flameproof Movable Substation

Energies, 2020
Due to the working condition of low-voltage cabling from the mining flameproof movable substation to the loads of the mining face being poor, it is easy to cause various external mechanical damages to the cable sheaths.

Parallel resonance type fault current limiting circuit breaker

High Voltage, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 76-82, February 2020., 2020
The main goal of this study is introducing a novel fault current limiter based on parallel resonance structure (PRFCL) for high voltage application. During normal mode, the PRFCL reactor is short‐circuited via a rectifier bridge DC output voltage and LC resonance tank shows negligible impedance in the line. During a fault, the rectifier bridge switches

Cryogenic DC Circuit Breaker Based on High‐Power Press‐Pack IGBT

IET Electric Power Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This paper presents the performance of cryogenically compatible 3.3 kV/1.5 kA PP‐IGBTs as the main circuit breaker in a hybrid circuit breaker. The 3.3 kV/1.5 kA press‐pack IGBT can interrupt currents exceeding 5.1 kA when immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath. PP‐IGBTs are promising candidates for high‐power circuit breakers in cryogenically cooled power

Ageing Behaviours and Mechanisms of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT in DC Solid‐State Circuit Breaker

IET Electric Power Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
We propose that this distributed thermal profile in IGBT mitigates localised stress. Conversely, the high concentration of thermal stress in SiC MOSFET's gate region leads to its severe ageing. ABSTRACT The rapid development of DC power systems in applications such as electric aircraft and microgrids has highlighted the need for high‐performance DC ...

An Overview of VSC‐HVDC Systems and Challenges to Harvest Wind Energy Potential Considering South Asian Region as a Case Study

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The voltage source converter‐based high voltage direct current transmission (VSC‐HVDC) is considered the most appropriate option to harness the maximum potential of renewable energy, particularly offshore wind. With improved reliability and functionality of the network, reduced conversion losses, and reduced cost, the VSC‐based multiterminal direct ...
