2 They are either PIT HEAD THERMAL or HYDEL
REASONS FOR AC GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION Due to ease of transformation of voltage levels (simple transformer action) and rugged squirrel cage motors, ALTERNATING CURRENT is universally utilised.—Both for GENERATION and LOADS and hence for TRANSMISSION. Generators are at remote places, away from the populated areas i.e. the load centers They are either PIT HEAD THERMAL or HYDEL Turbines drive synchronous generators giving an output at kV. Voltage is boosted up to 220 or 400 KV by step-up transformers for transmission to LOADS. To reach the loads at homes/industry at required safe levels, transformers step down voltage.

3 COMPARISION OF HVAC & HVDC SYSTEMS
CONVENTIONALLY POWER TRANSMISSION IS EFFECTED THROUGH HVAC SYSTEMS ALL OVER THE WORLD. HVAC TRANSMISSION IS HAVING SEVER LIMITATIONS LIKE LINE LENGTH , UNCONTROLLED POWER FLOW, OVER/LOW VOLTAGES DURING LIGHTLY / OVER LOADED CONDITIONS,STABILITY PROBLEMS,FAULT ISOLATION ETC CONSIDERING THE DISADVANTAGES OF HVAC SYSTEM AND THE ADVANTAGES OF HVDC TRANSMISSION , POWERGRID HAS CHOOSEN HVDC TRANSMISSION FOR TRANSFERRING 2000 MW FROM ER TO SR

4 HVDC: USE less current Direct current : Roll along the line ; opposing force friction (electrical resistance ) AC current will struggle against inertia in the line (100times/sec)-cuurent inertia –inductance-reactive power

5 Better Voltage utilisation rating

6 DC has Greater Reach Distance as well as amount of POWER determine the choice of DC over AC

7 DC The alternating current in a cable ”leaks” current (charging
movements) in the same manner as a pulsating pressure would be evened out in an elastic tube.

8 DIRECT CURRENT CONSERVES FOREST AND SAVES LAND
Fewer support TOWER, less losses

9 CONTROLLING or BEING CONTROLLED
By raising the level in tank ;controlled water flow

10 CONTROLLING or BEING CONTROLLED
ZERO IF Vr=VI=10V

11 HVDC leads to Better Use of AC TRANS SYS.
FORCE HAS TO BE APPLIED IN RIGHT POSITION

12 HVDC provides increase power but does not increase the short circuit POWER

13 HVDC LEADS TO BETTER USE OF AC
HVDC and HVAC SHOULD CO-OPERATE FOR OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY

14 HVDC LEADS TO BETTER USE OF AC
If two networks are connected by an AC link, it can be in-efficient

15 CONTROLLED POWER FLOW IS POSSIBLE VERY PRECISELY
ADVANTAGES OF HVDC OVER HVAC TRANSMISSION CONTROLLED POWER FLOW IS POSSIBLE VERY PRECISELY ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATION POSSIBLE BETWEEN REGIONS HAVING DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS NO RESTRICTION ON LINE LENGTH AS NO REACTANCE IN DC LINES

16 ADVANTAGES OF HVDC OVER HVAC TRANSMISSION
STABILISING HVAC SYSTEMS -DAMPENING OF POWER SWINGS AND SUB SYNCHRONOUS FREQUENCIES OF GENERATOR. FAULTS IN ONE AC SYSTEMS WILL NOT EFFECT THE OTHER AC SYSTEM. CABLE TRANSMISSION .

17 ADVANTAGES OF HVDC OVER HVAC TRANSMISSION
CHEAPER THAN HVAC SYSTEM DUE TO LESS TRANSMISSION LINES & LESS RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF POWER TRANSMISSION

18 COST: AC vs DC Transmission

31 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HVDC TRANSMISSION

32 AC Transmission Principle

33 HVDC Transmission Principle

34 DC AS A MEANS OF TRANSMISSION
USE OF DC Direct current is put to use in common life for driving our portable devices, UPSs, battery systems and vastly in railway locomotives. DC AS A MEANS OF TRANSMISSION This has been possible with advent of High power/ high current capability thyristors & Fast acting computerised controls

35 Important Milestones in the Development of HVDC technology
· Hewitt´s mercury-vapour rectifier, which appeared in 1901. · Experiments with thyratrons in America and mercury arc valves in Europe before 1940. · First commercial HVDC transmission, Gotland 1 in Sweden in 1954. · First solid state semiconductor valves in 1970. · First microcomputer based control equipment for HVDC in 1979. · Highest DC transmission voltage (+/- 600 kV) in Itaipú, Brazil, 1984. · First active DC filters for outstanding filtering performance in 1994. · First Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC) in Argentina-Brazil interconnection, 1998 · First Voltage Source Converter for transmission in Gotland, Sweden ,1999

36 The Evolution of Thyristor Valves in HVDC

37 If DC is required to be used for transmission
& since our primary source of power is A.C, the following are the basic steps: CONVERT AC into DC (rectifier) TRANSMIT DC CONVERT DC into AC ( inverter)

38 Purpose & function of Thyristor Valve
Connects AC phases to DC system Conduct High Current – currents upto 3000A without the requirement of paralleling of thyristors Block High Voltage – Blocks high voltage in forward and reverse direction up to 8KV Controllable – thyristor triggering /conduction possible with the gate firing circuits Fault tolerant and robust

43 Voltage and Current of an Ideal Diode 6 Pulse Converter
Alpha = 0 Overlap = 0

44 Operation of Converter
Each thyristor conducts for 120º Every 60º one Thyristor from +ve limb and one Thyristor from –ve limb is triggered Each thyristor will be triggered when voltage across it becomes positive Thyristor commutates the current automatically when the voltage across it becomes –ve. Hence, this process is called natural commutation and the converters are called Line Commutated converters

45 Operation of Converter
Triggering can be delayed from this point and this is called firing angle α Output voltage of the converter is controlled by controlling the α – Rectifier action If α > 90º negative voltage is available across the bridge – Inverter action Due to finite transformer inductance, current transfer from one thyristor valve to the other cannot take place instantly This delay is called over lap angle μ and the reactance called commutating reactance. This also causes additional drop in the voltage

56 12-Pulse Convertor Bridge
Commonly adopted in all HVDC applications Two 6 pulse bridges connected in series 30º phase shift between Star and Delta windings of the converter transformer Due to this phase shift, 5th and 7th harmonics are reduced and filtering higher order harmonics is easier Higher pulse number than 12 is not economical

61 Control of DC Voltage Rectifier Operation Inverter Operation
In the real HVDC system the DC voltage is varied by means of a converter bridge In rectifier operation the power flow is from the AC system to the DC system The power flow is changed from the DC system to the AC system by reversing the DC voltage. The DC current does not change it’s direction. The operating range of the ideal converter is in theory from 0° (+1.0 p.u. DC voltage) to 180° (-1.0 p.u. DC voltage). The operating range of a real converter is from approx. 5° to approx. 160°. In 90° operation the DC voltage of the converter is 0.
