Power System Development
Development of HVDC Transmission
DC transmission line has advantages in transferring more
power for the same ac line due to no reactance,
asynchronous link between two ac systems
DC transmission is an effective means to improve
performance
The first commercially used high voltage dc (HVDC) link in
the world was built in 1954 between the mainland of Sweden
and island of Gotland
At present the world has over 60 schemes in the operation
for a total capacity of more than 66000 MW
The highest transmission voltage reached 1500kV
