Abstract
A liquid cooling static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) system with series connected inverter valve modules that have liquid cooling blocks is described. The inverter valve modules are operable to inject reactive power into a power transmission line. Inverter valve units are attached to liquid cooling blocks, where there is direct impingement of liquid coolant on an exposed portion of an inverter valve unit in an enclosed fluid chamber. Each liquid cooling block has voltage isolation relative to other liquid cooling blocks. Such voltage isolation may limit ionization of liquid coolant in an SSSC system operating in proximity to high voltages.
