    HVDC Transmission

    INTRODUCTION
    •Now a days large blocks of power are
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    needed to be transmitted.
    •There arises some technical problems
    of transmitting power to such a long
    distance using ac.
    •In the view of the draw backs of ac the
    HVDC transmission has come into
    picture.

    HVDC Transmission

    •The first dc link was set up in 1954 in


    Technical Seminar Presentation

    between Swedish main land and the island of


    Gotland.
    •The use of an HVDC link in an ac system
    requires converter stations at each end of the
    line.

    HVDC Transmission

    Economic advantages
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    •DC lines and cables are cheaper than ac lines or


    cables.
    •The towers of the dc lines are narrower, simpler
    and cheaper compared to the towers of the ac
    lines.
    •Line losses in a dc line are lower than the losses
    in an ac lines.

    GROUND RETURN
    • Most dc transmission lines use ground return for reasons
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    of economy and reliability


    • Ground return are used by the monopolar and the
    bipolar link for carrying the return current.
    • The ground path has a low resistance and, therefore low
    power loss as compared to a metallic conductor path
    provided the ground electrodes are properly designed.
    • The resistance of the ground path is independent of the
    depth of the line.

    HVDC Transmission

    PROBLEMS
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    • The Design of grounding electrodes for low cost


    of installation and maintenance
    • Location and screening of electrodes so that
    ground currents cause negligible electrolytic
    corrosion of buried and immersed metallic
    structures.

    EARTH ELECTRODE
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    • HVDC system requires a properly designed


    earth electrode at each station.
    • The electrode is situated at a safe distance (5 to
    30 km) from the station.
    • The earth electrode at one of the station acts as a
    anode and at the other end acts as a cathode.

    RECENT ADVANCES
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    • GTO’s have come into use.


    • Use of active ac and dc filters.
    • Advanced fully digital control systems using
    optical fibers.

    HVDC Transmission

    CONCLUSION
    Technical Seminar Presentation

    • Recent studies indicate that HVDC systems are


    very reliable.
    • The data collected from 31 utilities says that
    forced unavailability of energy due to the
    converter station is 1.62%
    • The scheduled unavailability of energy is about
    5.39%.
