Voltage Source Converter for HVDC Transmission in Offshore Wind Energy Voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC transmission uses self-commutated devices. The latest converters are built using series IGBT with antiparallel diodes; however, they can be built using gate turn-off thyristors (GTO) or Integrated gate- commutated thyristors (IGCT). The commutation can be achieved independently of the AC […]
