Applications for High Voltage Direct Current （应用高压直流电）.pdf

US Department of Energy’s Grid Tech Team Workshop Applications for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission Technologies April 22, 2013 NRECANRECA ConferenceConference CenterCenter Arlington, VA 22203 Keynote Speaker: Nari Hingorani HVDC Overview Today’s HVDC • Power System in general has to be AC, because there is no DC Transformers • Therefore Today’s HVDC involves conversion of AC to DC and back to AC • To justify HVDC, there needs to be enough cost or performance benefit to pay for the converters. Hingorani Applications for HVDC • Moving large amounts of power over long distances. •• Moving power by cable over moderate to longMoving power by cable over moderate to long distances. • Moving power between asynchronous systems. • Forcing ordered power into an area Hingorani Advantages of HVDC • Lower Cost than AC for Long Distance (600 miles for overhead and 30 miles for Underground/Submarine) •• ControlledControlled PowerPower Flow (Owner has control)Flow (Owner has control) • Limitation of Short Circuit Currents • High speed electronic clearance of temporary faults • Transmission at reduced voltages when line insulation is damaged Hingorani Applications forApplications for HVDCHVDC Transmission of bulk power from remote generation ~~ ~~ Remote Generation
