INTRODUCTION

• In recent years, HVDC transmission has been considered a feasible planning


alternative in India to increase power grid delivery and capability.

• With many attractive features, HVDC technology will be more widely


considered as a transmission expansion option in deregulated energy markets.

• India is one of the few countries that has a large number of HVDC schemes in
operation, under commissioning, construction, and planning.

• HVDC is used to transmit large amounts of power over long distances


NATIONAL GRID - PRESENT
INCREASE IN TRANSMISSION VOLTAGE
HVDC system in India

• 2 x 500 MW HVDC Chandrapur Back to Back Station.

• 500 kV , 1500 MW Rihand – Dadri HVDC Project.

• 500 kV, 2500 MW HVDC Ballia – Bhiwadi Transmission Link.

• 2 x 500 MW HVDC Gazuwaka Back to Back Station.


2 x 500 MW HVDC Chandrapur
Back to Back Station.

Ramagundum (Southern Region) Thermal Power Stations in Indian Grid.

• Each Block power carrying capacity is 500 MW.

• Bidirectional power flow capability is available.

• Second commercial Back to Back HVDC Station in India.


± 500 kV , 1500 MW Rihand – Dadri
HVDC Project.

Date of Commisioning: Dec-1991

Main Data:
Power rating : 1500MW
No. of Poles : 2
AC Voltage : 400 kV
DC Voltage : + 500 kV
Converter Transformer-
Rihand Terminal : 6 x 315 MVA
Dadri Terminal : 6 x 305 MVA
Length of over head DC line: 816 KM.
System Salient Features:

• Reverse power flow capability available.

• During inclement weather condition power transmission is possible


at ±400 kV DC voltage.

• ±500kV,1500MW HVDC Bi-Pole Transmission link supplies Bulk


Power from Thermal Power Plant of Rihand (Eastern part of
Northern Grid) to Dadri (Western part of Northern Grid).
Advantages of HVDC over HVAC

• HVDC does not suffer from the skin effect; hence it needs fewer, thinner
conductors.

• HVDC has the ability to transmit large amounts of power with lower capital
costs and lower losses than ac.

• HVDC can carry more power per conductor. HVDC operates at a constant
maximum voltage, with equally sized conductors and insulation to carry more
power into an area.
• Increasing the capacity of an existing power grid in situations where additional
wires are difficult or expensive to install.
• Connecting a remote generating plant to the distribution grid and power
transmission and stabilization between unsynchronised ac distribution
systems.

• Stabilizing a predominantly ac power-grid, without increasing prospective


short circuit current.

• Reduction of transients and disturbances increases the system stability. This


prevents cascading failures from propagating from one part of a wider power
transmission grid to another.

• Synchronous operation is not required In HVDC.


Limitations of HVDC

• Converters are expensive and require much reactive power. They generate
harmonic, hence ac and dc filters are required.

• The difficulty of breaking dc currents results in the high cost of dc breakers.

• Multiterminal or network operation is not easy.

• An inability to use transformers to change the voltage levels.

• HVDC circuit breakers are difficult to build.

• Complexity of control.
Future power scenario
Need of new initiatives in Transmission

• Need of long distance Transmission system

• Minimum use of land and Right-of-Way

• Optimal cost per MW transmission

• Optimal Transmission Losses


Conclusion
• With the HVDC systems the power flow can be control
rapidly and accurately as to both power level and direction.
• Using HVDC to interconnect two points in power grid in many
cases is the best economic alternative and further more it has
excellent environmental benefits.
