Simulation and Fault analysis of HVDC

on MATLAB

HVDC Transmission
Range 220-765KV.
Distance it is used for

transmission is approximately
more than 800km.
(Breakeven analysis)

Needs
Increase in size of

generating units.
Right of way problem.
Line costs.
Loading limit.

DC Links

ADVANTAGES
System stability.
Lesser corona loss and radio

intereferance.
Greater reliabiliy.
Bulk power long distance
transmission.
Tower size and cost.

Disadvantages
Cost of converting station.
Reactive power

requirment.
Less overload capacity.
Loss in cooling system.
Absence of suitable circuit
