Abstract

UHVDC equipment is the base of whole UHVDC transmission project. Since UHVDC system differs from conventional EHVDC system in terms of rating voltage, wiring configuration, etc., higher requests are proposed on design, manufacture, transport and cost control of the equipment. This chapter presents a discussion on UHVDC electrical equipment, including converter valve, converter transformer, smoothing reactor, AC/DC filter, DC arrester, bushing, switchgear, DC measuring equipment, etc. In general, DC equipment used in UHV project has characteristics of dramatically increased weight and volume, improved insulation level and higher reliability.
