Title: Application and economical evaluation of the superposed ac and dc power transmission system

Journal Article · · Electr. Eng. Jpn. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The superposed ac and dc power transmission scheme has advantages of both ac and dc transmission schemes and makes it possible to overcome the defects of both schemes. Important technical problems concerning converter transformer and reclosing have already been discussed. It is expected that technical problems associated with the superposed ac and dc transmission scheme can be solved without much difficulty. The optimum properties of ac and dc transmitted powers and the economic advantages of the superposed ac and dc scheme over the ac or dc scheme are dicussed. Results of the economic studies confirm the effectiveness of the superimposed ac and dc scheme.
