Introduction HVDC Advantages Disadvantages: Cost, Harmonics, Reactive power, Point to point access, Overload conditions
Introduction
First HVDC Commercial System (1954): 100 kV, 20 MW, Mainland of Sweden to island of Gotland, Monopolar, Cable system. Mercury arc technology 1972 onwards all the HVDC system use thyristor valves The Biggest HVDC System: 300 kV, 6300 MW, ITAIPU Brazil.
Monopolar link
Only one energized conductor normally of negative polarity Earth or sea water used as return path In the case of fault complete shutdown of the system
Bipolar link
Two conductors with polarities (+ve and -ve) represented as Neutral points (junction between convertors) are grounded Normal operation no current through the earth If there is fault on one conductor other conductor can be used with half of the rating
Homopolar link
Two or more conductor with same polarity (generally -ve) Operates earth as return If there is fault on one conductor other conductor can be used with half of the rating
Convertors Convertor transformer Smoothing reactor AC (Harmonic) filter Overhead lines Reactive power source
Earth electrode
DC Filters Circuit Breakers
