HVDC LCC AND VSC - PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION IN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM: Direct Current Transmission

HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is consolidated as an important alternative in the transmission of electrical energy.Besides the economic and technical advantages of using HVDC over long distances, it is also an excellent solution to access renewable energy generation and interconnection of asynchronous AC systems, including those of different frequencies.HVDC transmission is undoubtedly a mature solution in conjunction with AC transmission.This book covers the principles of operation of an LCC and VSC system, the equations of HVDC transmission, main control and protection systems, and earth electrode.The types of DC circuit breakers that play an important role in the development of DC networks are also covered. The concepts and theories discussed in this book will allow the reader to acquire knowledge that will enable one to understand HVDC transmission or acquire the basis to delve deeper into the subject.
