    摘要: A voltage source converter 10 comprises first and second DC terminals 12,14 for connection to a DC electrical network 42 and at least one limb 16 connected between the first and second terminals. The limb includes a phase element 18 having a plurality of switching elements 54 and at least one AC terminal for connection to an AC electrical network 30.The switching elements are controllable to facilitate power conversion between the AC and DC electrical networks. The voltage source converter also includes a tertiary sub-converter 32, connected in series with the phase element in an electrical block, and controllable to act as a waveform synthesizer to modify a first DC voltage presented to a DC side of the phase element. A quaternary sub-converter 36 is connected in series with the tertiary sub-converter, and is controllable to act as a waveform synthesizer to modify a second DC voltage presented to the DC electrical network. An auxiliary sub-converter 38 is connected in parallel with the electrical block and connected to a common connection point between the tertiary and quaternary sub-converters to form a "T" arrangement. The auxiliary sub-converter is controllable to act as a waveform synthesizer to modify the first and second DC voltages.

    摘要: In the field of voltage source converters which provide high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission and reactive power compensation there is a need for an improved power electronic module which exhibits high efficiency, provides a safe failure mode, and is tolerant of faults. A power electronic module (30; 70), for use in a chain-link converter of a voltage source converter providing high voltage direct current power transmission and reactive power compensation, comprises a first set (32) of series-connected switching elements connected in parallel with an energy storage device (34). The first set (32) of series-connected switching elements includes a first latching switching element (38) and a first non-latching switching element (40).

    摘要: In the field of high voltage DC power transmission there is a need for a small, lightweight, inexpensive, and reliable means of connecting first and second high voltage DC power transmission networks. A DC to DC converter assembly (30; 130; 140; 150; 160; 170), for connecting first and second high voltage DC power transmission networks, comprises an inverter (32; 152; 172) which has first and second terminals (34, 36) which are connectable in use to a first high voltage DC power transmission network (16). The inverter (32; 152; 172) is defined by a modular multilevel converter (38) which includes a first inverter limb (40) that extends between the first and second terminals (34, 36) and has first and second inverter limb portions (50, 52) that are separated by a third terminal (54). Each inverter limb portion (50, 52) includes at least one rationalised module (68) which has first and second sets (70, 72) of series-connected current flow control elements (74) that are connected in parallel with at least one energy storage device (76). Each set of current flow control elements (74) includes an active switching element (90) to selectively direct current through the energy storage device (76) and a passive current check element (82) to limit current flow through the rationalised module (68) to a single direction. The current flow control elements (74) and the or each energy storage device (76) combine to selectively provide a voltage source to synthesise an AC voltage (V
    AC ) at the third terminal (54). The DC to DC converter assembly (30; 130; 140; 150; 160; 170) also includes a rectifier (92; 142) that is electrically connected to the third terminal (54) of the inverter (32; 152) by a first link (98) and is connectable in use to a second high voltage DC power transmission network (18). The rectifier (92; 142) is configured to convert the AC voltage (V
    AC ) conveyed by the first link (98) into a second DC voltage (V
    2 ) for supply to the second high voltage DC power transmission network (18).

    摘要: A clamping failure detector assembly (30; 50; 70) comprises a frangible electromagnetic radiation conduit (32) that extends between first and second portions (34, 36) of at least one thyristor clamped assembly (10). The detector assembly (30; 50; 70) also includes a an electromagnetic radiation source (31) that is arranged in communication with a first end of the frangible conduit (32) and an electromagnetic radiation detector (33) that is arranged in communication with a second end of the frangible conduit (32). The frangible conduit (32) ruptures on movement of the first and second portions (34, 36) of the or each thyristor clamped assembly (10) away from one another to interrupt the transmission of electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic radiation source (31) to the electromagnetic radiation detector. The electromagnetic radiation detector (33) indicates a clamping failure when the electromagnetic radiation transmitted from the electromagnetic radiation source (31) is interrupted.
