Methodology for integration of HVDC links in large ac systems. Phase I. Reference manual. Final report
HVDC transmission has been found to be an attractive alternative to ac transmission in many situations. Evaluations of HVDC alternatives include technical, economic, environmental and sometimes regulatory considerations which are different than those for ac transmission. This research project resulted in the preparation of a HVDC reference manual which describes a comprehensive methodology for evaluating HVDC alternatives in utility transmission planning. It provides basic background information about existing HVDC systems. It describes the types of studies required and potential problems which must be dealt with. It also discusses how the studies are usually run and what system modeling is required. It emphasizes the importance of proper control of the dc system and provides examples of control systems which have been used.
