Electrical Engineering · Power Substations The advance of voltage source converter-based (VSC) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems makes it possible to build an HVDC grid with many terminals. Some substations are small A step-up transmission substation receives electric power from a nearby generating facility and uses a large power transformer to increase the voltage for transmission to distant locations. During the 12th Five-Year Plan China will invest 500 billion RMB($76.2 billion USD) in the “3 horizontal, 3 vertical” ultra-high voltage AC grid backbone and 11 DC ultra-high voltage projects, this level of investment is equivalent to 2 Three Deputy Chief Economist for the State Grid Energy Research Institute and Director of the Energy strategy and planning institute Bai Jianhua says ultra-high voltage transmission is very important for wind power grid connection. A transmission bus is Extra-high voltage (EHV) ac: 345 kV, 500 kV, 765 kV. ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING VIII-SEMESTER 8EX1 EHV AC/DC TRANSMISSION Unit-1 EHV AC Transmission: Need of EHV transmission lines, power handling capacity and surge impedance loading. Compared with high-voltage alternating current (AC) grids, active power conduction losses are relatively low and reactive power conduction losses are zero in an HVDC grid. RELIABILITY ENGINEERING & APPLICATIONS TO POWER SYSTEMS : 1, 2, 5, 7, 8. HVDC Transmission : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8. EHV AC Transmission : 1, 2, 3, 4, 8. In such a situation the transmission substation contains high voltage switches that allow lines to be isolated or connected for maintenance or fault clearance. Ultra-high voltages increase the capacity of power cables, thereby making it possible to transport large amounts of electricity with a relatively small number of overhead lines. Circuit breakers are used in transformer substations to The major challenge in UHV power engineering is to provide sufficient insulation to prevent voltage flashovers. This is a classification based on the design of define high voltage circuits as those with more than 1000 V for alternating current and at least 1500 V for direct current, and distinguish it from low voltage (50–1000 V AC or 120–1500 V DC) and extra low voltage (<50 V AC or <120 V DC) circuits. High Voltage Engineering : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It also is used to change AC voltages from one level to another, and/or change alternating current to direct current or direct current to alternating current. The new circuit breaker has been designed for a 1.2-megavolt AC transmission line. In electric power transmission engineering, high voltage is usually considered any voltage over approximately 35,000 volts. Extra-high voltage (EHV) ac: 345 kV, 500 kV, 765 kV.
