Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC is the most recent HVDC technology with extruded DC cables in small and medium power transmission. VSC-HVDC converters include Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’S) and operated with high frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to get high speed control of both active and reactive power. With VSC-HVDC there is an addition degree of freedom...

Converter transformers are the key and the most important components in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems. Statistics show that the failure rate of HVDC converter transformers is approximately twice of that of transformers in AC power systems. This paper presents an approach integrated with a two-dimensional cloud model and an entropy-based weight model to evaluate t...
