An all-in-one guide to high-voltage, multi-terminal converters, this
book brings together the state of the art and cutting-edge techniques in
the various stages of designing and constructing a high-voltage
converter. The book includes 9 chapters, and can be classified into
three aspects. First, all existing high-voltage converters are
introduced, including the conventional two-level converter, and the
multi-level converters, such as the modular multi-level converter (MMC).
Second, different kinds of multi-terminal high-voltage converters are
presented in detail, including the topology, operation principle,
control scheme and simulation verification. Third, some common issues of
the proposed multi-terminal high-voltage converters are discussed, and
different industrial applications of the proposed multi-terminal
high-voltage converters are provided.
- Systematically proposes, for the first time, the design methodology
for high-voltage converters in use of MTDC grids; also applicable to
constructing novel power electronics converters, and driving the
development of HVDC, which is one of the most important technology
areas
- Presents the latest research on multi-terminal high-voltage converters
and its application in MTDC transmission systems and other
industrially important applications
- Offers an overview of existing technology and future trends of the
high-voltage converter, with extensive discussion and analysis of
different types of high-voltage converters and relevant control
techniques (including DC-AC, AC-DC, DC-DC, and AC-AC converters)
- Provides readers with sufficient context to delve into the more
specialized topics covered in the book
Featuring a series of novel multi-terminal high-voltage converters
proposed and patented by the authors, Multi-terminal High Voltage
Converters is written for researchers, engineers, and advanced students
specializing in power electronics, power system engineering and
electrical engineering.
