Abstract

The technology of high phase order (HPO) transmission and its benefits to the power industry are described. Instead of transmitting power with the same number of phases as it was generated, HPO transmission alters the power generated into 6, 9, or even 12 phases. This process results in some unique benefits, which are described. HPO transmission is explained by reviewing the phasor relationships for three, six, and twelve-phase systems. A brief outline of the history of HPO research in the United States is included. An explanation of the reasons behind the environmental benefits as well as technical issues covering the equipment modifications for the conversion is considered. Some of the factors necessary to determine the economic value of HPO transmission as an alternative to conventional three-phase designs are outlined
