This document is an exam for a course on HVDC Transmission Systems. It contains 5 questions with multiple parts each. Question 1 asks about comparing AC and DC transmission, listing limitations of HVDC lines, and explaining a six pulse converter. Question 2 covers harmonics characteristics, inverter operation of line commutated converters, and the effect of delaying firing angle. Question 3 addresses HVDC system components, corona effect, and power flow control in VSC HVDC. Question 4 is about multi-level converters, PWM techniques, and rotating reference frame theory. Question 5 differentiates synchronous and asynchronous links, enhances frequency stability using HVDC control, and explains mono-polar HVDC operation.
