WHAT IS HVDC ?
In a HVDC (High voltage D.C.) transmission system, electricity is taken from an AC power network, converted to DC in a converter station and transmitted to the receiving point by a transmission line (overhead) or cable(underground). It is then converted back to AC in another converter station and injected
into the receiving AC network. HVDC enables the power flow
to be controlled rapidly and accurately, and improves the performance, efficiency and economy of the connected AC networks.

INTRODUCTION
• Now a days large blocks of power are needed to be transmitted over very long distances.•There arises some technical problems of transmitting power to such a long distance using A.C.•In the view of the drawbacks of a.c system the HVDC transmission has come into picture.•It is useful for bulk power transmission and interconnecting incompatible grids.

History of HVDC
Firstly concept was developed by a swiss engineer ‘Rene Thury’ during the end of 19th century.
Earlier mercury-arc valves were used in Converters which later get replaced by Thyristor-valves.
In 1941 a 60MW 115km ‘Elbe-project’ was designed in Berlin(Germany),but couldn’t be completed. Above equipments were moved to Soviet Union & in 1951, first HVDC link was established between Moscow and Kashira. However in 1954 first successful HVDC 20MW 96km commercial installation was done between the Gotland island and Sweden.
This transformer converted the first HVDC transmission in Gotland. This transformer converted
the first HVDC transmission in gotland

HVDC goes Global
Currently there are some more than 100 of HVDC systems across the whole world ,out of which 6 are in India.
Some of them are as follows: -Between Sweden & Denmark. -Between south & north islands of New Zealand. -Between Italy & Sardinia. -Between Los Angeles & Oregon. -Between north African deserts & central Europe. -Between UK & western Europe.Proposal of a.c transmission across the English
channel was abandoned and get replaced by HVDC system

HVDC IN INDIA
In India presently 6 HVDC systems are in operation.India- Pioneer developer of HVDC since 1990 with the first HVDC
set up of 1000MW 814Km Rihand-Dadri line between U.P & Rajasthan.
2000MW 1440Km Talcher-Kolar link is biggest so far connecting four states-orissa,andhra pradesh,tamilnadu and karnataka.
In march 2000,Power-grid(largest power transmission utility of India) awarded a new long distance HVDC transmission project to SIEMENS,Germany.
More greater plans are cooking to add 1lakh MW of power by 2012 in which HVDC will play vital role to transmit these powers to all corners of India.

GROUND RETURN
• Most dc transmission lines use ground return for reasons of economy and reliability
Ground return are used by the monopolar and the bipolar link for carrying the return current.
The ground path has a low resistance and, therefore low power loss as compared to a metallic conductor path provided the ground electrodes are properly designed.
The resistance of the ground path is independent of the depth of the line.

CONCLUSION
Recent studies indicate that HVDC systems are very reliable.
The data collected from 31 utilities says that forced unavailability of energy due to the converter station is 1.62%
The scheduled unavailability of energy is about 5.39%.
