Details
Converter Reactor
Rated Voltage: Up to 800 kV
Functional Role in HVDC Systems
Positioned between the flexible DC converter valve and connecting transformer (installable on DC/AC side), it forms the commutation reactance with transformer leakage reactance.
Key functions:
1.Power Flow Control: Regulates active/reactive power transmission
2.Harmonic Filtering: Suppresses AC-side current fluctuations (2nd-50th order)
3.Fault Current Limiting:
Controls di/dt during bridge arm commutation failures
Caps short-circuit current rise rate (<5 kA/ms typical)
Dynamic Stability: Damps sub-synchronous oscillations (SSR)
System Integration:
Integration Point | Key Parameters | Performance Impact |
---|---|---|
DC Valve Side | • di/dt limit: ≤3 A/μs | Protects IGBT valves from overcurrent |
AC Transformer Side | • THD reduction: ≤1.5% | Improves grid power quality |
Commutation Loop | • L<sub>total</sub> = L<sub>reactor</sub> + L<sub>xfmr-leak</sub> | Determines overlap angle (μ) & fault tolerance |
