The paper brief is one out of the first approaches in Turkey to popularize HVDC-light transmissions. It deals with: 1. Lab design and PSCAD modeling of a special bridge controlled AC-DC three load (star-delta) rectifier. It uses 9 group of valves (instead of 6 group valves of common bridge), three lines of former AC transmission, the earth and three DC loads between the lines and earth (or a star-delta inverter). 2. Lab design and PSCAD modeling of a special controlled bridge DC-AC star-delta inverter between three DC source and AC network. It also uses 9 group of valves (instead of common 6 group valves), three input DC lines (and the earth) and three outputs AC transmission lines. 3. Comparison of the bridges construction and modeling results of traditional HVDC-light transmission (6 valves rectifier, traditional DC line and 6 valves inverter) and designed AC-DC-AC transmission (9 valves rectifier, AC line and 9 valves inverter). The proposed star-delta rectifier and inverter can be implemented in common electrical applications such as HVDC transmission, supply of isolated loads, asynchronous grid connection, infeed of small-scale distributed generators (DG), infeed to city centers, for DC grids, converting the AC lines into HVDC light lines, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
