Does a capacitor-commutated DC Circuit Breaker have fault character discrimination capability?

A capacitor-commutated DC circuit breaker with fault character discrimination capability was presented in this paper. Taking a 320 kV double-terminal flexible DC system as background, the circuit breaker model was built by PSCAD for simulation verification. The following conclusions can be drawn:

What are the different types of arc faults?

Arcs ranges vary from few amperes to thousands of amperes. Types of arc fault include series arc fault, parallel arc fault [ 10 ]. Any intermittent connection in modules and even in solder joints produces arc faults. Arc lead to high frequency noise in string output voltage or current [ 11 ].

What are the different types of faults in PV system?

Classification of faults PV system The fault in DC side is divided into two major types: PV array fault and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) fault [ 9 ]. PV Array Fault PV array fault further divided into two main groups PV panel fault and fault in cable.

Do capacitor defects contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits?

Capacitor defects significantly contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits. This paper will address methods of locating capacitor defects and root cause determi-nation. Keysight Technologies’ failure analysis team investigated tens of failures in an externally purchased voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).

What happens when a permanent fault occurs in a circuit line?

When a permanent fault occurs in the line, the first voltage inverse traveling wave measured at point M is consistent with the above theoretical analysis. The capacitors of the circuit breakers at both ends of the faulty line can be controlled to inject voltage signals.

Where the capacitor voltage in a circuit breaker needs to be released?

The characteristic where the capacitor voltage in the capacitor circuit breaker needs to be released through the energy release branch is used in this paper. The capacitor in the circuit breaker is controlled to discharge to the fault line.
