Graetz Circuit Analysis in HVDC Systems

The document analyzes a GRAETZ converter with overlap between firing angles. It describes three operating modes based on the overlap angle μ: 1) Mode I has μ < 60° with 2 or 3 valves conducting simultaneously. 2) Mode II has μ = 60° with exactly 3 valves conducting. 3) Mode III has μ > 60° with 3 or 4 valves conducting simultaneously. The overlap angle μ represents the duration when commutation occurs from one valve turning off to the next valve turning on. The analysis examines the equivalent circuit and voltage equations for each mode.

GRAETZ Converter Analysis with overlap:

Firing angle α≠ 0 and if there is a possibility of commutation angle or the


overlap angle µ≠ 0; where Lc is significant.
The converter analysis has three modes as follows,

Mode I : µ < 60° 2 or 3 valves conduction

Mode II: µ = 60° 3 valves conduction

Mode III : µ > 60° 3 or 4 valves conduction

Lc indicates leakage inductance of converter transformer. Due to the leakage


inductance of the converter transformers and the impedance in the supply
network, the current in a valve cannot change suddenly and thus commutation
from one valve to the next cannot be instantaneous.For example, when valve 3
is given the firing pulse, the current is transferred from valve 1 to valve 3,takes
a finite period during which both valves are conducting. This is called overlap
and itsduration is measured by the overlap (commutation) angle ‘μ’.

Mode I : µ < 60° 2 or 3 valves conduction

3 valves are conducting for µ


2 valves are conducting for 60-µ
Mode II: µ = 60° 3 valves conduction

Mode III : µ > 60° 3 or 4 valves conduction

3 valves conduct during the interval 120- µ°

4 valves conduct during µ-60°


Mode 1:
