  2. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    An enhancement of the six-pulse bridge arrangement uses 12 valves in a twelve-pulse bridge. [11] A twelve-pulse bridge is effectively two six-pulse bridges connected in series on the DC side and arranged with a phase displacement between their respective AC supplies so that some of the harmonic voltages and currents are cancelled.

  3. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    A single-phase, three-winding converter transformer. The converter transformers step up the voltage of the AC supply network. Using a star-to-delta or "wye-delta" connection of the transformer windings, the converter can operate with 12 pulses for each cycle in the AC supply, which eliminates numerous harmonic current components. The insulation ...

  4. Eel River Converter Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel_River_Converter_Station

    The Eel River Converter Station consists of two separate 12-pulse bidirectional solid-state non-synchronous HVDC ties of 4800 thyristors [2] (each nominally rated 160 MW) connecting 230-kV transmission systems of Hydro-Québec and NB Power. The converter station has a nominal throughput rating of 40 MW to 320 MW and an overload capability of up ...

    An HVDC thyristor valve tower 16.8 m tall in a hall at Baltic Cable AB in Sweden A battery charger is an example of a piece of power electronics. A PCs power supply is an example of a piece of power electronics, whether inside or outside of the cabinet.

  6. Cycloconverter - Wikipedia

    CCV operation creates current and voltage harmonics on the CCV's input and output. AC line harmonics are created on CCV's input accordance to the equation, f h = f 1 (kq±1) ± 6nf o, [9] where f h = harmonic frequency imposed on the AC line; k and n = integers; q = pulse number (6, 12 . . .) f o = output frequency of the CCV

  7. Static synchronous compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_synchronous_compensator

    Single phase of a three-level converter topology. Bottom right shows the switch equivalent of the IGBT operation. Adding additional levels to a converter topology has the benefit of more closely mirroring a true voltage sine wave, which reduces harmonic generation and improves performance. If all three phases of a VSC utilize its own two-level ...

  8. Chandrapur back-to-back HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrapur_back-to-back...

    The converter station is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the eastern terminal of the Chandrapur–Padghe HVDC transmission system. The close proximity of the two converter stations meant that the control systems needed to be carefully coordinated, a task made more challenging by the fact that the two stations were built by different ...

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    SRMs are used in some appliances, [12] in linear form for wave energy conversion, [13] magnetic levitation trains, [14] or industrial sewing machines. [15] The same electromechanical design can be used in a generator. The load is switched to the coils in sequence to synchronize the current flow with the rotation.
