The project aims to study and assess the technical and commercial feasibility of a new Ultra-High Voltage Silicon Carbide (UHV SiC) Thyristor technology for use in large-scale power electronics converters for electricity transmission applications, including High Voltage DC (HVDC) and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). A small-scale prototype converter incorporating the UHV SiC Thyristor technology will be built and tested for the first time, and its performance will be assessed against commercial Silicon-based converters. In addition, the economics and feasibility of the UHV SiC Thyristor technology will be assessed and quantified for use in large-scale converters in FACTS and HVDC systems.

该项目旨在研究和评估新型超高压碳化硅（UHV SiC）晶闸管技术的技术和商业可行性，该技术用于电力传输应用的大型电力电子转换器，包括高压直流（HVDC）和灵活交流输电系统（FACTS）。将首次建造并测试采用UHV SiC晶闸管技术的小型原型变流器，并将针对商用硅基变流器对其性能进行评估。此外，特高压SiC晶闸管技术的经济性和可行性将被评估和量化，用于FACTS和HVDC系统中的大型换流器。
