Abstract :
This letter proposes a new synthetic test circuit (STC) to confirm the switching operation of the thyristor valve in the HVDC converter. The operation of the proposed STC was verified through theoretical analysis and computer simulations. Based on computer simulations, a hardware-scaled model was built and tested to confirm the feasibility of implementing a real-size test facility.
