Capacitor commutated converters for HVDC transmission system
The operation of HVDC systems using conventional Line Commutated Converters (LCCs) operating with weak AC systems becomes unreliable due to frequent commutation failures which can occur for any small disturbance in the AC networks. The thesis starts with a brief survey of the present state of the a...

The operation of HVDC systems using conventional Line Commutated Converters (LCCs) operating with weak AC systems becomes unreliable due to frequent commutation failures which can occur for any small disturbance in the AC networks.

The basic control characteristics of HVDC systems are discussed and their implementations are described using block diagrams. Finally, different tests are carried out by applying varying faults and step changes in the control parameters.
