What the grant funds
Renewable Integration Management with Innovative High Voltage Direct Current Power Circuit Breakers (REIMAGINE BREAKERS). Developing standards for High Voltage Direct Current Circuit Breakers (HV DCCB) will support the protection and interoperability of hardware within Multi-Terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission systems and allow for seamless interconnection and coordination of HV DCCBs into existing high voltage AC & DC transmission systems. Standardization will provide key stakeholders with guidance to ensure all HV DCCBs developed are compatible with existing and future transmission networks. Additionally, the advancement of HV DCCB designs will aid in the development of novel ideas to reduce overall cost and footprint of the technology.
