Abstract
Designing a MV distribution-level power link for flexible operation between AC and DC comes with many technical challenges. Of the most glaring are how to: switch between three-phase AC and bipolar DC; ensure N-l contingency; determine protection sensitivity and selectivity; and how to handle space charge build-up. This paper gives a detailed analysis on the challenges and technical solutions to these topics, and offers a design for the flexible DC-link thought to be the most realistic for operation in a real MV distribution grid application.
