HVDC Transmission System Analysis

This document contains two assignments related to HVDC transmission systems. The first asks to calculate conductor voltage, power transmission ratio, and transmission losses for converting an AC line to bipolar DC. The second provides a simplified DC system diagram and asks to calculate transformer ratio and voltages for given firing angles, power levels, and converter operating modes.

HVDC Transmission-1

ECE 7990
Assignment #1 Due: Wed Oct 2

1) A 230 kV (l-l, rms) 3-phase ac line spans a certain transmission corridor. The line is now con-
verted to a bipolar dc line, where two of the conductors are used, the third being used for earth
return or as a spare conductor. Transmission losses in the ac case were 8% of transmitted power.
The dc line conductors are to be loaded to the same thermal ratings as the original ac conductors
and no insulation level upgrade is contemplated. Calculate :
i) The conductor voltage on the dc line (l-g)
i) The ratio of the maximum transmitted dc power to that on the original ac line.
ii) Percentage transmission losses with the dc option
You can give the ac option the maximum advantage (i.e. use the best possible power factor).

The pollution level is negligible.Use the following values for the constants k1 and k2:

ac insulation level
k1 = --------------------------------------------- = 2.5
rated ac voltage
dc insulation level
k2 = --------------------------------------------- = 1.7
rated dc voltage

2) Consider the simplified dc system shown in Fig 1. Only one converter is shown, with the remote end
represented by a dc source (Vd2). The ac system is rated at 345 kV, with the converter transformer second-
ary voltage nominally set to 215 kV; i.e., the nominal turns ratio n=215/345 = 0.623. The actual turns
ratio is adjustable by a tap changer and may vary slightly from this value. . Each transformer has an
MVA rating of 597.77 MVA and has a leakage of 18%. Other system parameter values are indicated in the
figure. The rectifier dc voltage is nominally 500 kV, and the nominal power at the rectifier end is 1000
MW.

1) Calculate the required transformer turns ratio and inverter side voltage Vd2 so that rated dc power and
voltage are maintained with a firing angle  = 18o.
2) Now assume that the converter operates in inverter mode with the rectifier voltage |Vd2|= 500 kV, The
dc power (on Vd1 side) is 1000 MW and  = 18o. Calculate the inverter side voltage Vd1 and the required
transformer turns ratio
