The HVDC Rihand–Delhi is a HVDC connection between Rihand and Dadri (near
Delhi) in India, put into service in 1990. It connects the 3,000 MW coal-based Rihand
Thermal Power Station in Uttar Pradesh to the northern region of India
DC is a better option because AC lines have more line losses than DC for bulk power
transfer.
1. In direct current (DC) systems, the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.
2. The system operates at a constant maximum voltage, which can allow existing
transmission line corridors with equally sized conductors to carry 100% more power
into an area of higher consumption than AC.
3. The DC transmission power decreases with the drop in DC operating voltage and
increases with the rise in DC operating voltage.

PART B – Micro-Project Report
“DC TRANSMISSION LINE IN INDIA”
1.0 Rationale
The HVDC Rihand–Delhi is a HVDC connection between Rihand and Dadri (near Delhi) in
India, put into service in 1990. It connects the 3,000 MW coal-based Rihand Thermal
Power Station in Uttar Pradesh to the northern region of India
1. Bulk power transmission over long distances is an application ideally suited for DC
transmission and is more economical than ac transmission whenever the breakeven
distance is exceeded. Examples of this type of application abound from the earlier
Pacific Intertie to the recent links in China and India.
7.0 Conclusion
A DC transmission line has better voltage regulation than an AC transmission line. For
the same voltage, A DC transmission system requires less insulation material because
the potential stress on the insulation is less in case of DC transmission system than
that in AC transmission system
