The development of super high voltage grid in China
At the end of 2005 the installed generation capacity of 500 GW makes China the second highest in the electricity production in the world. As China is being transformed into the manufacturing centre of the world, the increase of electricity ...
Intelligent control and protection of power system with IEPS-W
Power utilities operate more and more globally and require flexible, future-proof communication systems to cope with changing operational requirements, philosophies and technologies. Due to the significant changes in the power system indust...
HTS cable and its anticipated effects on power transmission networks
High temperature superconductive cable (HTS cable) has unique characteristic of low impedance to current flow. Unlike conventional power cables, HTS cable offers higher power transfer with minimum losses and more compact designs of power ap...
Control system design for HVDC systems using optimization-enabled electromagnetic transient simulation
The paper describes a new tool for the design of robust control systems for HVDC and FACTS controllers that combines electromagnetic transient simulation with a nonlinear optimization algorithm. The design objectives are formulated into an ...
Forced commutation circuit for HVDC transmission
This paper studies a novel converter configuration for HVDC systems. The converter is based on a resonant circuit and the forced commutation principle, which enables thyristor commutation to be independent of the AC voltage. The theoretical...
AC harmonic filters for Konti-Skan 1 Refurbishment HVDC project
This paper summarises the customer's specification requirements, design aspects, filter configuration and special features of AC harmonic filters for Konti-Skan 1 Refurbishment HVDC project, which will be connected to the 400 kV busbars at ...
Latest control and protection innovations applied to the Basslink HVDC interconnector
This paper describes the control and protection (C&P) system of the Basslink HVDC Interconnector project and in particular Win-TDC, the latest innovation from Siemens in the field of HVDC controls. The key aspects of the C&P structure and i...
HVDC transmission-opportunities and challenges
HVDC transmission has a number of technical advantages compared with HVAC transmission, which have been highlighted in many papers. However, HVDC transmission has remained a niche technology, being used only for long distance overhead trans...
A comparative study of high phase order transmission system with three phase double circuit transmission system
This paper encompasses the comparative study of the existing TPDC 400 KV Gujarat Electricity Board's (At present GETCO (Gujarat Energy Transmission Co.)) line uprated with six-phase (HPOTS), with different loading conditions, conductor conf...
Fault location techniques for one of the World's longest AC interconnector cables
The electrical distribution system on the Isle of Man is linked to the UK power system via a 90 kV AC subsea interconnect cable. The total length of the interconnector is approximately 108 km of which about 104 km is subsea cable. Because o...
