Abstract

The area where UHVDC transmission lines pass by is complicated and under severe conditions, such as pollution, acidic rain, and high altitude. All of these will have very huge impacts over the insulation coordination of DC lines, therefore, the insulation coordination of UHVDC lines is a key technology in the design of ±800 kV DC transmission project. This chapter presents a discussion on insulation coordination of UHVDC transmission line, mainly includes the following two aspects: selection of type and number of DC line insulators, and air clearance determination of DC line.
