6 What is an HVDC Transmission System? HVDC Converter Station > 6400 MW, Classic Overhead Lines Two conductors HVDC Converter Station > 6400 MW, Classic Hydro AC-Grid Alt. Submarine cables AC-Grid Solar Solar AC-Grid HVDC Converter Station < 1200 MW, Light Land or Submarine cables HVDC Converter Station < 1200 MW, Light AC-Grid Power/Energy direction

7 Why HVDC is ideal for long distance transmission? Capacitance and Inductance of the power line ABB Group In cable > 50 km, most of AC current is needed to charge and discharge the C (capacitance) of the cable May 21, 2018 Slide 7 Transmission Capacity [MW] G I = I 0 - I C U I 0 0 load G C Cable I C = ωcu 0 U L = ωli 0 U=U 0 -U L In overhead lines > 200 km, most of AC voltage is needed to overcome the L (inductance) of the line C& L can be compensated by reactors/capacitors or FACTS or by use of DC, which means ω = 2πν = 0 AC 500 kv DC ±320 kv AC 345 kv AC 230 kv Length of Cable [km] Transmission Capacity [MW] Overhead Line HVAC L HVDC load Length of Transmission Line [km] 800 kv 500 kv 765 kv 500 kv
