Monitoring Technologies for HVDC Transmission Lines

Design and selection criteria for HVDC overhead transmission lines insulators

HVDC Transmission with STATCOM

Most of the HVDC power converters with thyristor valves are assembled in a converter Bridge of Six pulse configuration. Converter transformers with one DC side winding as an ungrounded star connection and the other a delta configuration. Comparative studies of the two systems of HVDC CIGRE model without STATCOM and with STATCOM were performed. In these case, the consideration was the converter ...

Reliability Improvement Strategies for HVDC Transmission System

This paper analyses reliability data of HVDC systems of Southern China Power Grid. The weak links of HVDC systems’ operational reliability are DC control and protection, valve hall and valve cooling system and transmission lines. Some improvement measures and HVDC system reliability technology are proposed in this paper.

Online Voltage Stability Monitoring and Prediction by Using Support Vector Machine Considering Overcurrent Protection for Transmission Lines

In this paper, a novel method is proposed to monitor the power system voltage stability using Support Vector Machine (SVM) by implementing real-time data received from the Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS). In this study, the effects of the protection schemes on the voltage magnitude of the buses are considered while they have not been investigated in previous researches. Considering overcurr...

Relative Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks for Measurement of Electric Fields under HVDC Transmission Lines

In the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for electric field measurement system under the High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission lines, it is necessary to obtain the electric field distribution with multiple sensors. The location information of each sensor is essential to the correct analysis of measurement results. Compared with the existing approach which gathers the location informatio...
