Abstract | The increasing demand for the development and utilization of renewable energy resources has lead to a growing interest in the development of LVDC systems. The dc grid provides more flexibility in integrating different forms of renewable energy sources effectively. However, the lack of a reliable protection mechanism remains the main drawback in the growth of dc distribution systems. Unlike ac systems, the absence of a natural zero crossing in dc systems for arc extinction makes the use of a conventional mechanical circuit breaker (MCB) a less reliable solution. The use of a solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) results in fast fault interruption but reduces the overall efficiency of the system due to the on-state voltage drop of the semiconductor devices. A hybrid circuit breaker (HCB) combining MCB and SSCB yields better static and dynamic performances but the main challenges remains in the demagnetization of the transmission line inductance after a fault interruption and an arc formation between the MCB contacts. This paper proposes a hybrid circuit breaker (HCB) which is suitable for fast fault interruption in low voltage dc (LVDC) systems while alleviating the above issues. Proposed topology employs a semiconductor switch as well as an actively switched capacitor branch in parallel with the main mechanical breaker to facilitate fast current commutation during a fault. The mechanical breaker forming the main branch is turned off at zero voltage. This eliminates the arc formation across the moving contacts of the breaker. Moreover, the fault interruption process does not require a varistor for network demagnetization following the fault current commutation. This paper also presents a discharging mechanism for the capacitor in a practical implementation. Operation of the proposed dc circuit breaker is evaluated through a prototype tested in the laboratory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
