6 FAQs about [Voltage source inverter commutation failure]
What happens if an inverter fails two consecutive commutation times?
If the inverter fails two consecutive commutation times or more, it is called continuous commutation failure, and vice versa is called one commutation failure. The problem of commutation failure discussed in this article is a commutation failure. The converter valve is composed of semi-control device thyristors.
When does a yd inverter fail to commutate?
When the commutation first occurs in the YY inverter, it’s assumed that the commutation failure first occurs in the commutation of V12 to V32. Since the short-circuit path is formed when V42 is conducted, the YD inverter will fail to commutate during the commutation of V21 to V41. The commutation process is shown as Fig. 7 (a).
What causes commutation failure in HVDC systems?
Most commutation failures in DC systems occur on the inverter side (Su et al., 2024). The main causes of commutation failure in HVDC systems are as follows: 1) AC system faults cause the inverter AC line voltage amplitude to decrease, and asymmetric faults cause the commutation voltage phase angle to drift; 2) DC current increases significantly;
Does voltage distortion affect commutation failure?
The differences between rectifiers and inverters under asymmetric faults in AC systems have been studied. However, most of the current studies on commutation failure are based on the decrease in fundamental voltage after a fault, and there are few reports on the impact of voltage distortion on commutation failure.
What happens if a DC converter fails commutation?
When a fault causes a commutation failure in the DC system, the short circuit of the upper and lower arms of the inverter will cause a sudden increase in DC current. By detecting the change law of the DC current Id at the outlet of the rectifier, it can be diagnosed whether the converter has failed commutation.
What causes commutation failure of a converter valve?
During the operation of inverters, when the time (angle γ) of applying negative voltage on the valve that has just been turned off is shorter than the time required for it to restore the blocking capability and the valve is conducted again when positive voltage is applied, commutation failure of the converter valve would occur.
