Applications of High Voltage DC for Utility-Scale Wind Robert J. Thomas Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 Where the electricity is Power System Basics All power systems have four major components: Generation, Transmission, Load, and Control Centers. •  Generation: Creates electric power. •  Load: Consumes electric power. •  Transmission: Transmits electric power from generation to load. •  Control Centers: Coordinate generation and transmission assets for economy and reliability Generation •  Large plants dominate, with sizes up to about 1500 MW. •  Coal is most common source of fuel, followed by hydro, nuclear and gas. •  Generated at about 20 kV. Voltage from generator to Customer transformer 500 KV 22.5KV 115 KV transformer transformer 69 KV transformer 4 KV transformer customer 220 V System Operations Center Each operator has a collection of tools with which to do their job • The tools are not uniform in that every operator with similar job description does not have the same set of tools. Nor do the tools comply with any particular set of standards. Information displays everyone has: weather, flows on key lines, voltages on key buses, tie flows, line status, generator status an
