• Transmitting power at high voltage and in DC form instead of AC is a new technology proven to be economic and simple in operation which is HVDC transmission.

• HVDC light is a fundamentally new power transmission technology developed recently.

• It suitable for medium to small-scale power transmission applications.

• There is little incentive for putting high voltage lines underground particularly when the network service provider is predominantly driven by cost to provide performance-based transmission services at a competitive price.

• HVDC light is a high voltage, direct current transmission technology i.E., Transmission up to 330MW and for dc voltage in the ± 150kv range.

• It consists of two ac to dc converter stations and a pair of underground cables interconnecting each converter station.

• The converter stations are designed to be unmanned and virtually maintenance-free.

• This technology provides the hvdc light converter with a switching speed 27 times faster than a traditional hvdc, thyristor controlled converter.

• HVDC light® is HVDC technology based on voltage source converters (vscs). With extruded DC cables, power ratings from a few tens of megawatts up to several hundreds of megawatts are available.

HVDC light:• HVDC light is a state-of-the-art power system designed

to transmit power underground and under water, also over long distances.

• It offers numerous environmental benefits , including “invisible” power lines, neutral electromagnetic fields, oil-free cables and compact converter stations.

• The converter stations are designed to be unmanned and virtually maintenance-freeThe Classic HVDC Transmission:

• The HVDC technology (High Voltage Direct Current) is used to transmit electricity over long distances by overhead transmission lines or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect separate power systems, where traditional alternating current (AC) connections can not be used. ABB pioneered the HVDC technology and is the undisputed world leader in the HVDC field.

• DC underground cables provided significant advantages ,compared with over head power lines.

• The cables are operated in bipolar mode. One cable with positive polarity and one cable with negative polarity

• The strength and flexibility make the HVDC light cables perfect for severe installation

• The submarine cables can be laid in deeper waters and on rough bottoms.

• The rough cables can be install less costly with ploughing technique .

• HVDC cables can now also go also with aerial cables .

HVDC light converter technology

• The key part of the HVDC Light converter consists of an IGBT valve bridge. No special converter transformers are necessary between the valve bridge and the AC-grid. A converter reactor can separate the fundamental frequency from the raw PWM waveform. If the desired DC voltage does not match the AC system voltage, a normal AC transformer may be used in addition to the reactor. A small shunt AC-filter is placed on the AC-side of the reactor. On the DC-side there is a DC capacitor that serves as a DC filter too.
