RT Conference Proceedings T1 A comparison of non-unit and unit protection algorithms for HVDC grids A1 Perez-Molina, Maria Jose A1 Larruskain, Dunixe Marene A1 Lopez, Pablo Eguia A1 Abarrategi, Oihane A1 Santos-Mugica, Maider AB From a prospect where High Voltage Direct Current systems are the most promising alternative for new grid expansion as well as for integration of renewable energies at worldwide level, this paper analyses DC protection systems and their challenges on detecting and clearing faults. The focus of this paper is a comparison between non-unit and unit protection systems. It is also presented a study case with a simple non-unit algorithm, which is enhanced with a communication system. PB Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
