Abstract

The DC transmission system is composed of two converter stations and the DC line between them. In the converter station, the main equipment include AC switch, AC filter, converter transformer, smoothing reactor, electrode line in the DC field, neutral busbar and transfer breaker, DC filter and arresters distributed in various positions. Compared to the ±500 kV DC transmission system, the UHVDC system characteristics a more complicated operating principle, more flexible operating modes, and higher requirements for reliability. This chapter mainly discusses the operating principles and operating modes of the UHVDC system, and calculation of parameters for its main circuits.
