Prospects of multilevel VSC technologies for power transmission
Abstract
Deregulation and privatization are posing new challenges to high voltage transmission and distributions systems. System components are loaded up to their thermal limits, and power trading with fast varying load patterns is leading to an increasing congestion. In addition to this, the dramatic global climate developments call for changes in the way electricity is supplied. Innovative solutions with HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) and FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) have the potential to cope with the new challenges. New power electronic technologies with self-commutated converters provide advanced technical features, such as independent control of active and reactive power, the capability to supply weak or passive networks and less space requirements. In many applications, the VSC (Voltage-Sourced Converter) has become a standard for self-commutated converters and will be increasingly more used in transmission and distribution systems in the future. This kind of converter uses power semiconductors with turn-off capability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
