Abstract

This paper presents a protection scheme to protect multi-terminal high voltage dc (MTDC) networks for interconnection of renewable energy sources. The proposed scheme detects faults by using the Consecutive Data Window Method (CDWM) and harmonics of the system voltage to avoid maloperation of breakers without communication. Fault location is classified and faulty parts is isolated from the rest of the healthier network by using hybrid circuit breakers (HCBs). Moreover; it also categorises the fault with the help of the voltage drop. The rapid response to isolate the faulty portion in a few milliseconds is primarily considered to enhance the reliability and security of the network. The results of simulations verify the efficient fault detection and isolation for different DC faults and the investigation for the impact of significant parameters of the proposed scheme has been considered. The simulations are performed in PSCAD for four terminal MTDC networks to validate the proposed scheme. The performance is also verified under different fault conditions by using Matlab after computing the data from simulations.
