State-of-the-art Valve - Introduced 2003
Key attributes:
Enhanced capacity
Up to 500kV, 4000A as single block
Flexible
Thyristors up to 150mm diameter
Greater power density giving reduced
space
Significantly cheaper than previous valves
Rapid thyristor replacement without
disturbing power connections or cooling
pipe-work
Due to thyristor clamped assembly system
Direct water/glycol cooled
Suspended structure to ease seismic
qualification
Standardized and modularized for flexibility

Technical Challenges
DC side bushings
Oil free designs required
Composite insulation rather than porcelain
Solid insulation/Gas insulation?
Mechanical strength due to extreme length.
