3.2.3 Equipment Protection and Monitoring

Additional equipments used in HVDC station include:

  • Converter transformer dissolved gas in oil (DGA) and temperature monitoring
  • Converter transformer TAP controller
  • Converter cooling system
  • Capacitor bank
  • Valve partial discharge
  • Auxiliary supply battery backup

A change over logic is implemented for the redundant systems to ensure seamless transition without loss of protection functions during the HVDC station operation.

The protection for HVDC converter station comprises of protection solutions for AC busbar(s), harmonic filters, converter transformers, poles/converters as well as DC neutral and DC filter(s). The protections detect and clear faulty equipment on the HVAC as well as HVDC system. The protections use the analog inputs including currents and voltages from the field level. Trip commands are sent to the respective breakers and alarms are generated in the HMIs Sequence-of-Events Recorder.
