Abstract

As the continuous consumption of non-renewable energy leads to resource shortages, distributed PV generation technology has received widespread attention. The DC microgrid is an effective way to connect distributed PV generation. However, DC microgrids have numerous challenges, such as the absence of zero current crossing point and high fault current rising rate. In the paper, a bi-directional DC solid-state circuit breaker based on flipped Γ-source is proposed to overcome some of the challenges in DC microgrid. The topology uses the mutual inductance current generated by the transformer to force the SCR naturally commutates off. Which can rapidly interrupt and isolate the faulty part, and at the same time, there will be no circulating current impact on the source side. The diode bridges allow the response to faults on either the source or load side with only a single controlled switch. Therefore, the topology is simplified while enabling it to obtain the capability of bidirectional operation protection. Finally, using the simulation software PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental platform verifies the effectiveness of the topology in this paper.
