The Early Days of HVDC Milestone The first Commercial HVDC Link
Island Gotland to Swedish Mainland 100 kV / 20 MW ~100 kM distance AC cable difficult Commissioned in 1954 Mercury-arc valves Refurbished in 1970 Uprated to 150kV/130MW Thyristor valves Second pole built in 1986

In practice AC cables longer than 100km not practical Problem does not exist for DC cables
320 kV DC
AC and DC capacity increases with square of voltage AC transfer capacity diminishes dramatically with distance, due to reactive power charging DC transfer capacity almost unaffected by distance

Transmission Distance (mi)
AC and DC capacity increases with square of voltage AC transfer capacity diminishes with distance, due to voltage and angle stability limit For AC Switching stations are required every ~400kms

P-Q Diagram
HVDC Light (~ STATCOM, 0.5Pd/+0.5Pd MVar) HVDC Light terminals can act as virtual generators
Reactive Power (p.u.)
An HVDC link can never be overloaded HVDC transmission will act as a firewall against cascading disturbances.
Benefits Excellent Characteristics for Multiterminal Applications Flexible DC grid power flow control Independent P and Q control at each converter station. DC grid configuration can be radial, ring or meshed; can be easily reconfigured and expanded. Well suited for cable connection Applications In-city networks Offshore wind collector system
