HVAC systems can have several disadvantages, including:

 Cost: HVAC systems can be expensive to install and maintain. They also require regular
cleaning and maintenance.

 Space: HVAC systems can take up a lot of space and require ductwork.

 Noise: HVAC systems can be noisy.

 Energy consumption: HVAC systems can consume a lot of energy, especially central air
conditioners.

 Environmental impact: Air conditioners require a lot of energy to function, which can lead to
pollution.

 Maintenance: If not properly maintained, HVAC systems can become inefficient and cause
energy bills to increase.

 Control: HVAC systems can be difficult to control, as they require a complex network of
sensors and controllers.

 Installation: HVAC systems cannot be installed by the user and require professional
installation.

 Appearance: HVAC units can be more obvious than other forms of HVAC units.

Introduction of hvdc system High-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems are used to
transmit power over long distances using direct current (DC) instead of the more common
alternating current (AC). HVDC systems are more stable and controllable than AC
transmission systems, and they can transmit power over long distances with low power
loss. HVDC systems are used in many ways, including:

 Power transmission: HVDC systems are used to transmit power over long distances
 Economy: HVDC systems are economically efficient
 Corona loss: HVDC systems can help with corona loss
 Low carbon power: HVDC systems can help with the transition to a low carbon
electrical power system
A monopolar HVDC link is a type of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link that has a
return path through the ground or sea. It has one conductor and usually operates with negative
polarity. Monopolar links are often used for power transmission using cables because they
save the cost of laying one cable. Monopolar HVDC links were used only for low power
rating and mainly for cable transmission. In some cases the monopolar lines installed
earlier are converted into bipolar systems by adding additional substation pole and
transmission pole.
A bipolar HVDC link is a DC link that has two conductors, one positive and one negative,
with respect to the earthed tower structure. Each terminal has two sets of converters of equal
rating, in series on the DC side. The two six-pulse converters are fed from delta-delta and
delta-star transformers. The two secondaries cause displacement of 120°. The two-six pulse
converters are connected in series on the AC sideThis is most widely used dc link for
overhead long distance HVDC transmission systems and also for back-to-back
HVDC system. This link has two conductors— one operating with positive polarity
and the other with negative polarity with respect to the earthed tower structure .

Homopolar link– It has two conductors of the same polarity usually negative polarity, and
always operates with earth or metallic return. In the homopolar link, poles are operated in
parallel, which reduces the insulation cost. The homopolar system is not used presently.

What Is an HVAC System?


HVAC, or Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, is a sub-branch of
mechanical engineering that provides thermal comfort to building occupants by
maintaing systematic air circulation and controlling humidity, temperature, and
air quality to provide a comfortable living environment.
It is part of the mechanical discipline and MEP. HVAC systems consist of three
main components: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

 Heating: It provides warmth through a central heating system, while


ventilation aims to circulate air through mechanical means.
 Ventilation: The main aim of ventilation systems is to carry out
systematic air circulation in a building through mechanical means.
Mechanical ventilation systems allow an exchange of air in order to
maintain a comfortable and pleasant environment for the building’s
occupants.
 Air conditioning: It is an essential part of MEP and HVAC, maintaining a
comfortable temperature, especially during summers. AC systems purify
air, cool the area, dehumidify the space, and provide ventilation for a
better indoor environment.
