Detailed Device-Level Electrothermal Modeling of the Proactive Hybrid HVDC Breaker for Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation of DC Grids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes a series of proactive hybrid high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) breaker (HHB) electromagnetic transient models that can be implemented in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) emulation for real-time execution on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA). To achieve high fidelity, an HHB model should have the same configuration as the real one, and three different models for an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), i.e., a two-state switch model, a curve-fitting model, and an improved nonlinear behavioral model, are proposed to satisfy different accuracy and simulation speed requirements. Since designing an HHB with hundreds of IGBTs in a massive array would lead to an extremely heavy computational burden as well as to a high FPGA resource utilization, circuit partitioning is applied to each model, which enables decomposition into a number of physically independent subcircuits with smaller matrix dimension to exploit parallel implementation. Meanwhile, low hardware resource demand is achieved by using one of the subcircuits to represent the rest since they are identical. As the IGBTs produce a significant amount of heat, which in turn affects their performance, an electrothermal network is added as part of the model to provide specific information about the device's operation status including the junction temperature. The models are applied to a three-terminal HVDC system, where line faults are simulated to activate HHB protection sequence. Comparison of device-level and system-level performance from HIL emulation with those of commercial offline simulation tools validates the accuracy of the proposed models as well as the efficacy of the solution approach.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
