Hybrid HVDC circuit breakers with an energy absorption branch of a parallel arrester structure

open access: yesHigh Voltage, 2022
Hybrid circuit breakers (CBs) are the most promising technology to isolate DC faults in modular multilevel converter (MMC)‐based DC grids. However, they consist of expensive power electronic components that are sensitive to high overvoltage and ...
