This comprehensive guide explores every stage of an HVDC project - from identifying the need for a scheme through to final decommissioning. It includes discussions of:
- Comparisons between AC and HVDC transmission systems
- Integration of HVDC systems into AC networks;
- Suggested planning and important scoping studies;
- Cost-benefit analysis and project specifications;
- Environmental considerations and operational requirements;
- Detailed component descriptions; and
- Project commissioning, implementation and lifetime reliability monitoring.
The book describes current AC-to-DC and DC-to-AC conversion technologies, their application within HVDC systems, and the challenges and advantages they present. This thorough and comprehensive analysis makes High Voltage DC Transmission Systems ideal for electrical engineers new to HVDC, as well as those seeking deeper expertise.
- Describes the State of the Art for HVDC transmission systems
- Explains AC/DC power conversion technologies and their benefits and limitations
- Covers environmental issues, cost benefit analysis and lifetime performance of HVDC systems
