Abstract:High voltage DC transmission is very cost effective alternate solution for high voltage AC transmission. High voltage DC transmission towers occupy less space and poles carry more current compared to high voltage AC system. High voltage DC transmission lines are emerging as an alternate solution for flexible AC transmissions (FACTS) technology. Earlier either thyristor valves or mercury valves were used in converters.Voltage source converter has replaced conventional converter in high voltage DC system because… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
