HVDC
High-voltage, direct current (HVDC)
:bulk transmission of electrical power.
For long-distance distribution, HVDC
systems are less expensive and suffer
lower electrical losses.
For shorter distances, the higher cost of DC
conversion equipment compared to an AC
system may be warranted where other
benefits of direct current links are useful
AC DC
Ac
Rectifier Inverter
Synchronization of stations, as per
frequency as well as voltage.
Interconnecting two same frequency line.
Asynchronous DC linkage between the AC
connections.
Economic Consideration
+Ve for HVDC:
Lesser conductors are used as compare to
AC.
Lesser losses so better quality.
Long distances covered.
Simpler design of towers.
HV so more security.
Economic Consideration
-Ve for HVDC:
Not for Short distance.
Higher Initial cost.

Transmission Models
Monopolar: The line has one energized
conductor with the return path through the
earth.
Bipolar: A bipolar transmission gives two
circuits which are almost independent of
each other. Bipolar mode has one
conductor at a positive potential with
respect to ground and a second conductor
operating at negative potential of the
same magnitude.
Back-to-back station is a plant in which both
static inverters and rectifiers are in the
same area, usually in the same building.
The length of the direct current line is kept
as short as possible.
coupling of electricity mains of different
frequency.
coupling two networks of the same nominal
frequency but no fixed phase relationship.
Advantages Of HVDC
Economical for long distance bulk
transmission.
Greater power per conductor and simpler
line construction.
Ground return is possible.
No charging current and skin effect.
Less voltage regulation problem because
only IR drop is involved.
Advantages cont.
Easy reversibility and controllability of power
at DC link.
DC line is an asynchronous or flexible link it
can interconnect two rigid systems
operating at different frequencies.
For a single DC line b/w 2 converter stations,
circuit breakers are unnecessary since
control of the converters can be used to
block current flow during faulty conditions.
Disadvantages
Installation of complicated converters and DC
switchgear is expensive.
Converters require considerable reactive
power.
Harmonics are generated which requires
filters.
Converters do not have overload capacity.
