A high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission
system uses direct current for the bulk transmission of electrical power,
in contrast with the more common alternating current systems
WHY HVDC?Reduces energy losses due to the
resistance of transmission lines
• Cheaper over long distances (sustainable energy generation sites are usually far away from consumption)
• Electricity can be imported (Pakistan’s salvation)!!!!
•
•Doesn’t generate reactive power
•No synchrony demands (the stations can even be at different frequencies , so buffer is created between the two systems)
• Only two conductors are needed instead of three as used in AC so cost of transmission reduced.
• Increasing the capacity of an existing power gridin situations where additional wires are difficult or expensive to install
• More power transmitted since HVDC does not suffer from the skin effect. (No need for STRANDED conductors!!!)
• Undersea cables, where high capacitance causes additional AC losses. (e.g., 250 km Baltic Cable between Sweden and Germany
Two types of HVDC
transmission
•Conventional HVDC
•VSC-HVDC
•No risk of commutation failures in VSC
•VSC can connect to weak or dead AC networks
•Faster response of VSC due to high switching frequency
•Minimal environmental impact

AC Perturbations:
- The proposed strategy has been shown to provide fast and satisfactory dynamic responses
- The simulation showed it can be used for fast and bi-directional power transfers
- During a single phase fault, transmitted power can be kept constant except a small oscillation
- During a three phase fault however, the voltage strongly reduces the power flow
- When the fault is cleared, normal operation is recovered fast
