Abstract

This paper assesses the advantages, drawbacks and overall suitability of different soft-stop techniques to provide smooth deceleration of ultra-fast linear actuators used in hybrid HVDC breaker designs, with the help of FEA simulations. The paper compares active and passive damping techniques in terms of efficacy, energy consumption and interference with the ultra-fast operation needed from the actuator. The possibility of combining active and passive damping techniques is discussed.
