Abstract

The development of transmission systems closely follows the growing demand on electrical energy. With the increasing size and complexity of transmission networks, the performance of power systems decreases due to problems related to load flow, power oscillations, and voltage quality. Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) and high-voltage direct current (HVdc) technologies offer some effective schemes to meet these demands. In recent years, HVdc technology has been considered as one feasible planning alternative in India to increase power grid delivery capability and remove identified network bottlenecks. Quite a few HVdc transmission projects have been constructed or planned.
