EE6010 – HVDC TRANSMISSION

UNIT – I INTRODUCTION

Advantages of HVDC

Full control over power transmitted

The ability to enhance transient and dynamic stability
Fast control to limit fault current in DC lines
Reduced transmission lines.
Interconnection of systems operating at different frequencies

Disadvantages of HVDC

Inability to use transformer to change voltage levels

High cost of converter equipment
Generation of harmonics which requires AC and DC filters,
adding to the cost of converters station
Complexity of control
