ABSTRACT:-
HVDC transmission has a number of technical advantages compared with
HVAC transmission. During the latest 20 years, HVDC has become the dominating
technology for long distance transmission of bulk power.Overcoming the problem of AC
transmission of growing trends towards the rapid increase of load has lead to
development of DC transmission. In a combined AC and DC system generated AC
voltage is converted into DC voltage at sending end and DC voltage is inverted into AC
voltage at the receiving end for distribution purpose.
