 INTRODUCTION:-

With the increasing of requirement of electrical power supply

the facilities have to be increased in that transmission plays an
important role.
Here HVDC transmission plays major role in power transmission.
First HVDC transmission linked between gotland in 1954.
• The HVDC transmission has many advantages over HVAC
transmission.
 HVDC MEANS:-

• HVDC stands for High Voltage Direct Current .

• HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long
distances.
 WHY DC TRANSMISSION ?
• Losses are less in DC transmission while comparing to AC
transmission.
• DC overhead lines or cables are less expensive.
• DC lines are useful for long distances above 500km.
HVDC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM:-
 BASIC TRANSMISSION OF HVDC:-
• Back to Back Transmission.
• Point to point overhead lineTransmission.
• Point to point Underground Cable Transmission
 NEEDS FOR HVDC:-

• The losses which occurs in the systems are comparatively

low at all the stages (i.e.) at generation, transmission &
distribution level.
• The losses at transmission level can be highly reduced by
HVDC transmission.
 ADVANTAGES:-

• Lesser Corona Loss

• DC lines and cables are cheaper than AC lines or cables.
• The towers of the DC lines are cheaper compared to the
towers of the AC lines.
• Line losses in a DC line are lower than the losses in an
AC lines.
 DISADVANTAGE:-

• The dc equipment is very high of cost.

• There is nothing like DC transformer which can change
the voltage level in a simple way.
• The required converter stations are expensive and have
limited overload capacity.
 APPLICATIONS:-

delhi and chandrapur were the first longdistance hvdc

projects in India.
In 1990,delhi thermal power complex with a combined
power generation of Several thousand MW was put in to
service. It covers over a distance of 814 km.
• The 1500 MW transmission chandrapur was put in to
service. It covers over distance of 736 km.
 CONCLUSION:-
• Recent studies indicate that HVDC systems are very
reliable.
• Very large investments Eg. In ndia shows that High
Voltage Direct Current will very important in the future,
especially in big and new-industries countries.
