6 FAQs about Voltage source inverter commutation failure

What is commutation failure at the inverter side?

Abstract: Commutation failure (CF) at the inverter side is one of the most common failures in the line-commutated converter-based high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) system. Effective prediction of CF helps to formulate and implement protection measures timely.

What causes commutation failure?

Commutation failure is one of the most common faults in the operation of high voltage direct current transmission (HVDC). This paper analyzes the influence of voltage amplitude reduction, zero-crossing displacement, and voltage waveform distortion on the commutation...

When does a yd inverter fail to commutate?

When the commutation first occurs in the YY inverter, it's assumed that the commutation failure first occurs in the commutation of V12 to V32. Since the short-circuit path is formed when V42 is conducted, the YD inverter will fail to commutate during the commutation of V21 to V41. The commutation process is shown as Fig. 7 (a).

What causes commutation failures in a thyristor inverter?

In this paper we show a fairly large proportion of commutation failures that are due to single phased short circuits to earth in line commutated thyristor inverter, using a system in Simulink. The AC system faults to which the study system is subjected are: A remote single phase ground fault, and a single phase ground fault.

What causes commutation failure in HVDC transmission?

Commutation failure is one of the most common faults in HVDC transmission. When analyzing its causes theoretically, two aspects are generally considered: (1) the voltage amplitude of the commutation bus is reduced, and (2) the voltage zero-crossing drift.

What happens if a DC converter fails commutation?

When a fault causes a commutation failure in the DC system, the short circuit of the upper and lower arms of the inverter will cause a sudden increase in DC current. By detecting the change law of the DC current Id at the outlet of the rectifier, it can be diagnosed whether the converter has failed commutation.
