10. COST OF HVDC OVER HVAC

11. – 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
COMPARISION OF HVAC & HVDC
SYSTEMS

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

13. ADVANTAGES
Technical advantages:
No requirement of reactive power
Practical absence of transmission line length
limitations
No system stability problems
Interconnection of asynchronously operated
power systems
No production of charging current

14. DisadvantagesDisadvantages

17. If DC is required to be used for transmission
&
since our primary source of power is A.C,
The following are three basic steps:-
1. Convert AC into DC (rectifier)
2. Transmit DC
3. Convert DC into AC ( inverter)
