Cigr Tutorial 2012

Solutions for Smart & Bulk Power Transmission


Solutions with Overhead Lines
Note: Power AC @ 1 System 3 , Power DC @ Bipole +/-

High-Voltage DC Transmission: HVDC Classic with 500 kV (HV) / 660 kV (EHV) 3 to 4 GW

HVDC Bulk with 800 kV (UHV) 5 GW to 7.6 GW


For Comparison: HVDC PLUS (VSC) 1,100 MVA

Option UHV DC 1,100 kV: 10 GW

AC Transmission: 400 kV (HV) / 500 kV AC (EHV) 1.5 / 2 GVA 800 kV AC (EHV) 3 GVA 1,000 kV AC (UHV) 6 to 8 GVA

The Winner is HVDC !
