Brief on HVDC 2015

• Nowadays, the global projects and researches in HVDC are very actively planned and launched especially in EU, China, India and Brazil. • Promoting the current technical and policy making issues, a lot of discussion and technical meetings for HVDC have been challenged for the new perspective in HVDC world. • However, three main topics such as HVDC Application in Power Grid, HVDC Converter Station and Power Equipments for HVDC System are discussed separately in one way or another. • Therefore, we have been spending the enormous efforts to grasp the total strategic solutions and technical information on HVDC projects. • In this context, HVDC 2015 has been organized to provide the collective strategic and technical information for the policy making staffs as well as technical engineers in the major three topics - Power Grid, Converter and Power Equipments – and further to take the initial step for Super Grid in North East Asia (China-Korea-Japan-Russia).

High Capacity HVDC Application

Needs for High Capacity HVDC

The level of fault current in metropolitan area is increased up to the limit.

HVDC could increase power system stability

Power system operation aspect

765kV AC T/L Long construction period (severe public complaints)

Lower land cost for HVDC T/L than one of HVAC

Mitigate the issue of T/L construction

Difficulty of 765kV AC line construction

Jeju Island HVDC

Isolated network

2.5 times of mainland’s cost

High Generating Cost

• One of the most popular tourist place

• Over 10% growth/year for last 20 years

Continuously Increasing Power Demand
