SCR structure<br />

DRAFT<br />

Regarding high power requirements combined with high currents and energy recovery as in the<br />

case of SIS100 a line commutated converter (SCR) is the best choice. High amounts of energy can<br />

be transmitted in two directions by using one active semiconductor circuit only. Reactive power<br />

can be reduced by adding freewheeling thyristors while an active switch mode filter circuit (PE,<br />

50...100 kHz) will improve the poor dynamics of the SCR as well as it reduces the ripple content of<br />

the load current. The SCR will be set up as a line commutated 12-pulse system in series or parallel<br />

connection as shown in Figure 2.4.71.<br />

Switch Mode structure (SM): hard switching<br />

For small and medium power requirements with energy recovery capability switch mode circuits in<br />

hard switching configuration are well suited. Limits are given by high load currents because of the<br />

number of parallel IGBTs and the switching current capability of the storage capacitor in the<br />

DC-link.<br />

The benefits are the small filter for blocking the switching frequency from the load, the good dynamics<br />

and the energy storage which allows reduction of grid loading by pulsed currents. Switch<br />

mode circuits can be designed for 1-quadrant (chopper), 2-quadrant (half bridge) or 4-quadrant<br />

(full bridge) operation. The full bridge enables precisely controlled zero crossing of currents for<br />

bipolar applications. The full bridge configuration is already given in Figure 2.4.71. Half bridge<br />

and chopper configuration are given in Figure 2.4.72. Typical switching frequencies are 20 kHz.<br />

Switch Mode structure (SM-s): soft switching<br />

For DC applications demanding nearly noise free load currents soft switching circuits are well<br />

suited. Using medium frequency transformers to adapt to the wanted load voltage allows very<br />

compact construction of power converters. However the current of one circuit is limited to about<br />

200A because of the Schottky diodes in the output rectifier. For higher load currents several circuits<br />

have to be connected in parallel.<br />

2.4.3.1.5 Accuracy and current ripple<br />

The requirements for current control performance in respect to accuracy, stability, ripple and time<br />

lag of actual current to the set value are summarized in the total deviation. The definition of total<br />

deviation is illustrated in Figure 2.4.73 and can be expressed as a relative or absolute quantity. For<br />

bipolar power converters which can be operated at zero current the total deviation can only be<br />

given as an absolute quantity. In the relative definition the reference is always the actual value<br />

while in the absolute definition the reference is the nominal value.<br />
