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 is commutation failure in HVDC?

Commutation failure (CF) is one of the most common issues in HVDC transmission systems. CFs will directly cause a sudden increase in DC current and a sharp decrease in DC voltage. It is precisely because of the larger transmission capacity of UHVDC, the risk of DC pole blocking is increased due to the CFs of its converter station .

Abstract: AC fault disturbance will lead to commutation failure (CF) of LCC-HVDC, which may threaten the security and stability operation of the sending and receiving AC systems. Previous studies have focused on the commutation failure of inverters caused by voltage sags caused by receiving-end AC system faults.

What is commutation failure in AC/DC Hybrid power grid?

Stage 1: In AC/DC hybrid power grid, the FCF occurs at a converter station due to AC fault at a DC receiving end. After the commutation failure occurs, the DC current increases sharply and the DC power decreases, which causes a short power impact on the AC grid at the sending and receiving ends.
