Abstract
As generally known there is no energy transfer
between a dc current and a current transformer. After a brief
overview of other methods for tapping energy from the high
voltage direct current transmission line, this paper presents the
concept of a new dc to ac current source converter utilizing a
current transformer. The advantage of this converter is that it is
connected in series to the dc line and that at any moment in time
the current flow is kept continuous. This paper presents the
concept of the converter and simulation results.
