Research on a current commutation drive circuit for hybrid dc circuit breaker and its optimisation design

Hybrid direct current circuit breakers (DCCBs) have great prospects for the isolation of dc faults in multi-terminal dc grids. Current commutation from the mechanical switch branch to the static DCCB branch is the precondition to interrupt fault currents successfully for the hybrid DCCBs. A current commutation drive circuit (CCDC) is presented in this study, and it has features of low cost, low op...
