This paper considers the possibility to connect two medium voltage primary distribution grids through a DC connection realized by two AD/DC converters in back-to-back configuration. In particular, after a description of the whole system, the effects of a bolted or non-bolted DC fault are analyzed. Then, an active current limiter is proposed to limit the fault currents and keep the controllability of the system. Such a system is then modeled and studied through many simulations that confirm the effectiveness of the proposed current limiter.

Abstract
This paper considers the possibility to connect two medium voltage primary distribution grids through a DC connection realized by two AD/DC converters in back-to-back configuration. In particular, after a description of the whole system, the effects of a bolted or non-bolted DC fault are analyzed. Then, an active current limiter is proposed to limit the fault currents and keep the controllability of the system. Such a system is then modeled and studied through many simulations that confirm the effectiveness of the proposed current limiter.File in questo prodotto:
