Medium Voltage Direct Current Technologies and Systems: Power Electronic Devices, Converters and Applications

Medium Voltage Direct Current Technologies and Systems: Power Electronic Devices, Converters and Applications delivers an expert reference for the emergent field of MVDC applications as they head toward commercialization in power systems. The book focuses on enabling technologies, which are heavily reliant on power electronics. While LVDC and HVDC applications are now industrial reality, MVDC has yet to develop, despite being highly relevant for various applications. Chapters within this book address a cohort of technologies that are directly or indirectly considered enabling for the MVDC applications. The book is a must-buy reference for practitioners and applied researchers working with MVDC applications. Reviews a cohort of enabling technologies key to MVDC emergence, including the semiconductors and converter topologies relevant for MVDC applications, protection in DC systems, insulation coordination, design optimization and relevant design toolchains, and MVDC power distribution networks Supported by relevant mathematical and illustrative examples of simulation results from the offline simulations software, e.g., PLECS Developed by highly experienced researchers in the medium voltage field with critical industrial experience INDICE: 1.
