Abstract :
The technology of HVDC thyristor valves available in China since the mid-1980s has been continually updated in line with international developments. The thyristor valves for the Guizhou-Guangdong HVDC Project combine direct-light-triggered thyristor (LTT) technology and a proven valve design featuring a minimized number of power components, corrosion free water cooling, and fire hardened components.
