Electrical energy of a rather small isolated source in vicinity of an HVDC line may be transmitted via the same line by application of a series tapping station. For such purposes, a diode rectifier series tap, which offers considerable savings as well as a high degree of reliability, is proposed and discussed in this paper. Digital simulation studies have been carried out for a 10% diode rectifier series tap on an otherwise point-to-point HVDC system (Manitoba Hydro's Bipole II) using Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). The results reveal the technical feasibility of the idea, without the need for any dc circuit breaker.
