  • Abstract
    An overview of the capacitor commutated converter is given, emphasising its applications in long-cable HVDC transmission schemes. Its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with the conventional HVDC Graetz bridge converter are identified, and a critical assessment of its performance is presented using a developed steady-state formulation as well as a transient simulation based analysis.
