    摘要: A high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission system includes an alternating current (AC) electrical source and a power converter channel that includes an AC-DC converter electrically coupled to the electrical source and a DC-AC inverter electrically coupled to the AC-DC converter. The AC-DC converter and the DC-AC inverter each include a plurality of legs that includes at least one switching device. The power converter channel further includes a commutating circuit communicatively coupled to one or more switching devices. The commutating circuit is configured to “switch on” one of the switching devices during a first portion of a cycle of the H-bridge switching circuits and “switch off” the switching device during a second portion of the cycle of the first and second H-bridge switching circuits.

    摘要: A multi-level DC-DC converter includes an input side to receive a DC power having an input voltage and current, an output side to provide power to a load at a desired output voltage and current, and a plurality of tranformer-isolated DC-DC converters connected between the input and output sides, with the tranformer-isolated DC-DC converters being connected in series on one side and connected in parallel on another side. Each of the tranformer isolated DC-DC converters further includes a power transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, and a plurality of switching devices each selectively operable in one of an On state and an Off state. Operating the switching devices in a complementary On state and Off state alternately at a controlled switching frequency provides for engaging the tranformer isolated DC-DC converter and operating the switching devices in a simultaneously On state bypasses the transformer isolated DC-DC converter.
