This book provides information about all stages of the life of an HVDC project, from identification of the need for an HVDC scheme, through to its final disposal. This includes discussions of:
requirements regarding integration in the AC networks;
planning and other studies;
cost benefit analysis;
project specifications;
environmental issues;
performance and operational requirements;
detailed descriptions of the components;
project commissioning and implementation; and
lifetime performance monitoring of reliability and availability.
Furthermore, the book will describe the different technologies presently in use to covert AC to DC power, and vice versa, as well as how these technologies perform within a wider HVDC system. These thorough descriptions mean that High Voltage DC Transmission Systems will beof interest to electrical engineers with little or no knowledge of HVDC technology, as well as those wishing to deepen their understanding.
