A protection strategy for high voltage direct current grids using superconducting fault current limiters as main protection component is presented in this work.
A protection strategy for multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) grids based on AC/DC converters without fault blocking capability such as half-bridge MMC converters is presented in this paper.
In this contribution we give a short status update of the Cigré JWG B4/B1/C4.73. This joint working group deals with investigating the surge and extended overvoltage testing of HVDC cable systems. We present a historic overview over the standardization situation for HVDC cable systems.

Mainly used in AC grids, resistive type superconducting fault current limiters may be still more interesting for DC systems due to their capability to reduce high short circuit currents appearing in case of DC cable fault. This limiter reduces the breaking capability, speed, and energy requirements of the required DC circuit breaker allowing the implementation of electro mechanical breakers for fault current interruption. These breakers have lower breaking capability, on load losses, and investment costs in comparison with hybrid circuit breakers based on power electronics. This paper presents a technical and economic analysis of a superconducting fault current limiter used in a radial three terminal high voltage DC grid to protect a cable link. Based on simulation studies using an electro magnetic transient program, an effective system protection will be demonstrated with special attention to the continuity of power flow through healthy parts of the grid.

Common understanding today is that the challenges to develop the SuperGrid are huge at many levels (e.g.: political, societal, economical, financial, scientific, technical…). It is also commonly accepted that the SuperGrid will require novel technologies (breakers, cables, converters…) and operating principles (e.g.: transition from a more passive essentially AC-based power system to a more active AC/DC-based one). This thesis deals with the development of a key actor for SuperGrid technology, that is, AC/DC converters.
With the development of wide bandgap semiconductors, voltage ratings of 10kV and more become realistic. As a consequence, it is now mandatory to propose a suitable packaging. Ceramic-metal substrates are an established technology for voltages up to 3.3kV, but they exhibit some weaknesses for higher voltages.
The failure mode of press-pack-type packages dedicated to SiC devices is experimentally analyzed in order to investigate their use for HVDC applications. Single SiC Schottky diode samples have been submitted to short-circuit conditions and continuous current flow test.
