Configurations: Bipolar System
Configurations: Monopolar Ground Return
Monopole with metallic return conductor One pole one conductor for transmission and the return current is through metallic return.
HVDC Technology: Thyristor based VS IGBT based Description Classic VSC Converter Valves SCR IGBT Connection Valve-AC Grid Filtering Converter Transformer 50% in filters and shunt Capacitor Transformer+Reactor Less Filter required. Dc Current Smoothing Smoothing Reactor DC Capacitor
HVDC Technology: Thyristor based VS IGBT based Thyristor based Conventional HVDC System Uses conventional Thyristors (SCRs) Needs ac voltage source for commutation. Can not Supply reactive power to the ac system. Based on conventional thyristors it utilizes ac system voltage for commutation of current from one valve to another. This converter can convert and control active power in either direction, but in doing so consumes reactive power.
HVDC Technology: Thyristor based VS IGBT based IGBT based HVDC System Lesser space and height requirements. Active and Reactive power: Independent Control No Commutation failure: Commutation is the process in which SCR is turned off when current is zero. Black Start Capability: The ability to start-up a collapsed network. In such case it acts as a virtual generator. Shorter time for installation and commissioning In VSC, the roles of rectifier and inverter can be interchanged between the stations any time without delay, without breaker switching and without polarity reversal.
HVDC Technology: Thyristor based VS IGBT based LCC VSC Mature Technology-Since 1954 Emerging Technology-Since 1997 Large Site area, dominated by harmonic filters Compact site area almost half of LCC Site area High Power capability up to 7200MW at ±800kV Weak reactive power control Generates harmonic distortion, AC and DC Filters required. Low Station Losses (Approx. 0.8%) Needs converter transformer built by specialist facilities Power is reversed by reversal of dc voltage polarity Current- Sourced Line-commutated No Black Start Capability Limited Power Capability with 1000MW at ±320kV Good reactive power control No Harmonic generation no filters required High Station losses (Approx.1.1%) Conventional Transformer Power reversal by reversal of dc current polarity Voltage-Sourced Self-Commutated Black Start Capability
Sea between India and Sri Lanka
Sea profile in General The general sea profile between India and Sri Lanka Sea Coast is of shallow nature except at certain places. The topography in general is smooth except at Rameshwaram end. Generally, the sediments are olive grey colored fine clays at top of the core and coarse sand at the bottom with fragments of shells throughout the cores. The data suggest several trawl drag marks suggesting heavy fishing activity both in Indian and Sri Lankan territory.
