The hybrid high voltage DC circuit breaker (HDCB) is widely regarded as the most promising solution to the fault current interruption of VSC-based DC grids. However, because of a large number of power electronic modules connected in series in transfer branch, the cost of existing HDCBs are pretty high, which limiting their large-scale commercial application. In this paper, a novel multi-port hybrid high voltage DC circuit breaker commutated by controllable active oscillation circuit (CAOC-MPHDCB) is proposed. Based on the principle of controllable active oscillation, the proposed CAOC-MPHDCB c...
