In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distributionsince the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. Inparticular, this has been the case both in high volt ...
Series connected IGCTs find application in hard-switched commercial power converters at the MW power levels. Expanding the application of these devices to medium voltage dc-dc resonant converters is of great interest due to the IGCTs low conduction losses. ...
This paper presents demonstration of a protection scheme integrated into marine DC power distribution networks to investigate the coordination between each protection action. The integrated protection scheme is based on three different time-frame protectio ...
DC power distribution systems in marine applications are in the process of being established as the preferred solution for shipboard power distribution systems. This paper presents a bus-tie switch topology for the protection of such systems. The device is ...
The tutorial provides an overview of relevant technologies and concepts for high power DC-DC conversion at MW level, as well as challenges and opportunities in that field. Topics are covered with sufficient level of details to allow for understanding of de ...
The desire to increase the voltage of DC shipboard power distribution networks to the medium voltage level derives from the pressure to reduce the operating costs of such systems by increasing their efficiency. Solid state bus-tie switches are accepted to ...
The desire to increase the voltage of DC shipboard power distribution networks to the medium voltage level derives from the pressure to reduce the operating costs of such systems by increasing their efficiency. Solid state bus-tie switches are accepted to ...
The need to increase efficiency and reduce operating cost of shipboard DC power distribution networks results in a desire to increase the operating voltage of such installations to the medium voltage levels. Devices such as solid state bus-tie switches are ...
Recent trends in shipboard power distribution network design, such as the transition from AC to DC result in new challenges on the issue of distribution network protection. Devices such as a solid state bus tie switch provide a first line of defence agains ...
