10 Why UHV DC? Drivers for UHVDC Solutions The following Elements are Drivers for UHV DC Solutions Slide February 2010 Deregulated Power Markets require wide-area power trading Increasing demand for use of renwable Energy resources often far away from load centers Severe right-of-way constraints Advantages of UHV DC Transmission Economically: Lower Line and Right-of-Way Costs, higher Efficiency Technically: Bulk Power Transmission up to 7500 MW / Bipole

11 Existing solutions with limitations for 5,000 MW power transportation over long distances ~ HVAC 765 kv = HVDC ±500 kv Limited suitability for point-to-point connections High power losses 2-3 lines required for 5,000 MW Limited to approx. 1,500 km Lower power losses than AC Limited to 3,000 ±500kV DC Two lines needed for 5,000 MW Not optimized for investment and operational costs Slide February 2010

12 HVDC at 800 kv for economical, long-distance electricity transfer = HVDC ±800 kv Very high power capacity (5,000 MW and higher) of a single system 25% lower transmission cost compared to 500 kv HVDC Smaller footprint and lower overhead transmission line costs as only one bipole is needed Slide February 2010

13 Clear economical advantage of an ±800 kv HVDC solution Total transmission cost (5,000 MW over 1,400 km; 30 year lifetime) 100 % 83 % 64 % Losses Line costs Station costs AC 765 kv DC ±500 kv DC ±800 kv Slide February 2010
