What is the DC Grid?
More renewable energy, such as offshore wind power, hydropower and
solar power, will be integrated into power network all over the world
DC grid can provide power complementary for output fluctuations of
renewable energy, and ensure efficient integration and flexible transfer
of wind energy from a wide geographical area.

LCC-HVDC System
LCC-HVDC converts AC to DC power and then transmitted to the
load center, where the DC power will be converted back to the AC
power to supply the load
Due to the high power rating of each HVDC project, it poses a
very high requirement on the reliability of the converter
The possibility of each converter experiences unpredictable
failures should stay below once per 10 years

Modular multilevel converter based HVDC
Voltage sourced converter based HVDC project adopted MMC as the primary
topology, so called MMC-HVDC
In MMC HVDC, by switching in/out a large amount of power modules, a desired
sinusoidal waveform can be obtained in the AC side from the DC side voltage
source. In this way, the purposes of power conversion and regulation of voltage
and current can be achieved. DC cable

MTDC and DC Grid
DC grid is a DC transmission and distribution system composed by
multiple converters, transmission lines, DC circuit breakers,
transformers and so on.
DC grid can be used for large-scale renewable energy integration,
cities and island power supply, distribution network construction, etc.

Multi-terminal DC (MTDC): DC Grid:
Relying on converters for DC Multi-DC lines from each DC busbar
connections, i.e. meshes at AC sides
not DC sides DC connections via DC lines
It is not a real “DC grid” Real“DC meshes”→ real DC grid
Large amount of converters → costly Requiring DC breakers to clear DC

DC Breaker
The breaking time of the DC breaker (DCB) used in DC grid should be
less than several ms, and the breaking current should be more than
10kA, and it also should have the function of bidirectional breaking and
re-closing.

Converter Stations far from the fault maintain the voltage of DC Grid, and
guarantee the continuous running of DC Grid.
The blocked converter station could de-block and recover to normal operation if
the fault is cleared.
