High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, which offer functional as well as environmental and economic advantages, could see a 15% growth rate over the next decade. Design studies of HVDC system components are complicated by the need to cover 11 major elements: power system, insulation coordination, filter design, subsynchronous torsional interaction, circuit breaker requirements, power line carrier and radio interference, electric fields and audible noise, protective relaying, availability and reliability, efficiency, equipment specification, and HVDC simulator and Transient Network Analyzers. The author summarizes and illustrates each element. 6 figures, 1 table.
