    VSC transmission technology uses voltage sourced converters with PWM control, which was originally developed for industrial drives. The 1997 3-MW Hellsjön installation in Sweden proved the feasibility of applying this technology for power transmission and demonstrated superior technical capabilities compared to traditional LCC HVDC. VSC transmission has several advantages over LCC HVDC schemes, including the ability to feed into weak or passive networks, supply offshore loads, and connect renewable generation such as wind farms, making it attractive for an increasing number of power transmission applications.

    OVERVIEW OF VSC TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY

    Since its introduction in the early 1950s, LCC HVDC technology has undergone continuous development,
    particularly in the areas of converter switches and controls. Today LCC HVDC schemes provide reliable,
    efficient and cost effective solutions for many applications. The use of modern techniques have made it
    possible to obtain stable operation for LCC HVDC schemes connected to much weaker ac networks than
    was previously possible.

    Other fields of power electronics, such as industrial drives, have tended to determine the development of
    new semiconductor devices, because the quantity of devices produced each year for these applications can
    be many times the number required for HVDC schemes. Motor drives have, over the years, moved on from
    using line commutated converters to the use of voltage sourced converters (VSC) with pulse width
    modulation (PWM) control, which results in compact and more controllable drives. Usually such drives
    operate at relatively low ac and dc voltage and do not use series-connected semiconductors.

    The 3-MW Hellsjn VSC transmission installation put into service in Sweden in 1997 was an extension of
    modern motor drive technology. To reach a transmission voltage of 10 kVdc, however, series-connected
    semiconductors were required. The trial installation proved the feasibility of the technology and
    demonstrated its superior technical capability when compared to LCC HVDC. Subsequently, more
    schemes have been installed, with the largest in service at the end of 2004 having a rating of 330 MW and
    150 kVdc. CIGR has given this new type of dc transmission the name VSC Transmission.

    VSC Transmission has a number of technical features that are superior to those of LCC HVDC schemes
    and make it especially attractive for the following applications:

    Feeding into passive networks
    Transmission to/from weak ac systems
    Enhancement of an ac system
    Land cable systems
    Supply of offshore loads
    Connection to wind farms (on-shore or off-shore) or wave power generation
    In-feeds to city centres
    Multi-terminal systems

    Continuing developments in semiconductors and VSC Transmission technology are likely to make VSC
    Transmission attractive in an increasing number of applications as research and development efforts
    continue to bring down the capital cost and power losses of the converters.
