Why we choose this ➢ The trend of HVDC transmission
systems is increasing day by day
Project? considering its economic and
environmental advantages.

➢ HVDC have several applications

like in undersea and underground
power transmission, AC networks
interconnection and
interconnecting Asynchronous
systems.
What are we exactly ➢ Review all the important research
papers published till date about
doing? HVDC Power transmission
Systems.

➢ Simulation model of bipolar point-

to-point HVDC (LCC based) power
transmission system on PSCAD.
Advantages over HVAC transmission

❖ Higher power carrying capacity.

❖ Less Corona losses and Transmission losses.
❖ Transmission and tie-up between two systems operating at different
frequencies is possible.
❖ Better voltage regulation and controlling ability.
❖ Reliability is high.
❖ Towers are cheaper and simple.
Disadvantages compared to HVAC

❖ Uneconomical for low power supply over short distances.

❖ High Cost of terminal equipments and DC circuit breakers.
❖ Maintenance of AC substations is easy and cheaper.
❖ Voltage can’t be stepped up or stepped down easily and efficiently.
