OBJECTIVE

Power transfer enhancement , without any alteration in

the existing Extra High Voltage AC line.

To utilize the advantage of parallel acdc transmission

by loading the line close to its upper thermal limit.

INTRODUCTION
Long extra high voltage (EHV) ac lines cannot be loaded to
their thermal limits in order to keep sufficient margin against
transient instability.
In simultaneous ac-dc power transmission system, the
conductors are allowed to carry dc current superimposed on
ac current.
The added power flow does not cause of any transient
instability.

ADVANTAGES
Conductors can be loaded close to their thermal limit.
The power flow does not impose any stability problem.
No alterations of conductors, insulator strings or towers
of the original line are needed.
Helps to improve stability and damping out of
oscillations.

CONCLUSION
The merits to convert existing double circuit ac transmission line to
composite ac-dc transmission line for substantial power upgrading
have been demonstrated.
Studied that there is substantial increase in the load ability of the line.
The load ability further increases with increase in the length of line.
The line is loaded near to its thermal limit with the superimposed dc
current.
The capacity of the transmission line is increased by 85.06 % .
