Research on the Technology of Converting the Existing AC Lines to DC Lines

Abstract:

Power transmission is a key link in power system. As the increase of power supply, the transmission capacity of the lines should be enlarged too. In the developed area, the right-of-way for transmission line is hard to be obtained. And converting the existing HVAC overhead transmission lines using HVDC technology could enhance the transmission capability. There are three possible plans for different HVAC transmission lines: single-pole HVDC, bi-pole HVDC and tri-pole HVDC.
