water cooled and designed for indoor use. The valves
are built up as a quadruple valve unit, the single valve being
made up of eight thyristor modules connected in series, each
containing 12 thyristors, type YST-45 (85 mm diameter).
Redundancy is 3%.
Rated voltage was chosen as 600kV (at the rectifier) based
on the lowest present worth cost of convertor stations, DC line
and losses when compared with 500 and 550 kV [2]. The
minimum losses were estimated by the Consortium as 18MW
per bipole resulting in a rated current of 2.61 kA. At the
specified low ambient temperature of 30°C dry and 24°C wet
bulb, the Consortium guaranteed 3392 MWper bipole without
additional cost. An overload capability of 25% for 5 sand 15%
for 20 s can be applied to both normal and low ambient conditions.
The minimum continuous current is 10% of rated. In
the reverse power mode the Consortium guaranteed, without
additional cost, 3007 MWat the 345 kV AC busbar, limited by
transformer tap range.
After a DC line fault, three sequential restarts are permitted,
each one with individually adjustable deionisation time from
0.05 to 1 s. If they are unsuccessful, one restart is tried with
75% of the nominal voltage under the normal operating condition.
The equipment will be capable of operation in this
reduced voltage condition continuously, that means maximum
values of 'Y = 36.1°, Q = 38.5° compatible with the valve circuit
design, The range of 'Y can also be used for high reactive
absorption during receiving-system light load.
Taking into acount rated power, rated voltage of ± 600 kV,
maximum line resistance (maximum line length and maximum
temperature), chosen nominal values of a = 15° and 'Y = 17°,
and contraints related to the maximum short-circuit capability
of the valves (about 30 kA), the values in Table 1 were determined
for each six-pulse bridge.
