Abstract---This document reveals the HVDC Light DC transmission technology.It is used in underground transmission and moreover provides point to point transmission.HVDC Light requires only two elements namely a converter station and a pair of ground cables. The new HVDC Light cable is an extruded, single-pole cable. It is ideally suited for feeding power into growing metropolitan areas from a suburban substation. HVDC Light is inherent environmentally friendly cables instead of OH transmission lines. Virtually no magnetic field. The environmental gains would be substantial, since the power supplied via the DC cables will be transmitted from efficient power plants in the main AC grid.

1. INTRODUCTION

A hundred years ago, the transformer and a new transmission and distributionbe controlled precisely and independentlycan replace overhead lines at no costcontrol capabilities that are not present oreconomically feasible to connect smallscale,Equally important, HVDC Light hasfor inefficient, polluting local generationfrequency, active and reactive power canislands, mining districts and drillingloads from a main AC-gridof each other. This technology also relieson a new type of underground cable which penalty platforms can be supplied with power frompossible even in the most sophisticated ACrenewable power generation.

Flexible transmission

System technology, HVDC Light, makes it the main grid,thereby eliminating the needto the main AC grid. Vice versa,using thevery same technology, remote locations asthe three phase system made it possible totransmit AC power efficiently and economically over vast distances and todistributethe power toamultitude ofusers.Since then all aspects of transmission

    Back in the 1800’s Thomas Edison had a vision to power the whole of New York using DC (direct current) that he developed, this idea was brilliant, but had one set back. A power station was needed every mile due to D.C. only flowing in one direction. This wasn’t a very practical form of electricity or cost effective, another idea or form of electricity was needed. Welcome Nikolas Tesla, he came up with the idea of AC (Alternating Current) with this form of electricity the flow of electric charge changes direction periodically in relation to a sine wave. With this new type of electricity it could be sent much further due to…

    The ideal system for homeowner is the grid connected system in which excess power can be produced than be sold back to the industry and reduces the immediate debt of the system, making it extremely convenient and satisfying for homeowners that are skeptical of investing in any of these solar-capturing devices, because of the potential for these devices to be effective and justifiable over time, however arranging for grid interconnection can be tedious and difficult. On the other hand with standalone systems, they are proven to be more cost efficient than power lines. However, with standalone, surplus power gained would be wasted or be preserved in a battery that the system runs on, following this further, standalone systems are also dependent on a battery source to operate during the night, and in standalone systems like the Hybrid we see the need for other and more additional sources of energy like wind or diesel, that ultimately defeat the purpose to the development and use of these solar capturing devices.…

    Energy is requirement of every country in today’s world. It has become a basic need of almost every human being. Energy has different forms for example, mechanical energy, solar energy, nuclear energy and so on. Another form of energy is electricity. Electricity is used to light our houses, offices, schools, buildings, streets and so on. Its importance increases when there is no sunlight available. This type of energy can be used in light bulbs, street lights and so on. As the energy has become an important…

    However, the great disadvantage of using DC for electricity distribution was that it could only be generated and distributed at the voltages at which it was used by consumers, meaning that currents in conductors were hefty, resulting in huge and expensive energy losses over distances more than one or two kilometres. Thus, many power stations and an unattractive abundance of wires to carry the required current were needed in order to supply electricity to a large city.…

    Rural Electric Cooperatives provide power to more than 42 million customers in rural communities across America, making them an integral part of the electric utility industry. As demand for electricity continues to grow at a rapid pace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the infrastructure needed to meet that demand. Power loss due to inefficiency of distribution lines has been a major concern for many electric utilities, especially for Rural Electric Cooperatives, because a great deal of energy is lost traveling long distances between customers in rural areas. Modern technology may provide long term solutions to improve power line efficiency. The purpose of this research is to determine the most cost-effective and feasible technologies available that can, theoretically, be implemented into a grid system to improve efficiency and reduce…

    By using alternating current society is now able to transmit power far greater distances than was previously possible with direct current. Without alternating current many residential and rural homes and facilities would be without power. Electricity would also be much more expensive than it is today due to this limited range. Induction motors provide certain advantages over direct current motors. While DC motors are used in small appliances, AC motors provide much more power. These motors are used in large electrical equipment that requires copious amounts of power. Additionally, alternating current can be transformed into current from voltage or voltage from current much easier than direct current (“The Nikola Tesla”). By using alternating current a simple transformer is all that is needed to transfer the AC into usable direct current at the power lines near homes. Undeniably, the creation of alternating current has benefited the world…

    Solar plants are often built in remote areas, with deserts being the ideal location based on sunlight and potential for mass energy production. That being said, electricity produced in such a region requires long distance Transport. By means of transformers, energy loss over this vast distance can be minimized. It is important to maximize voltage, but within reason as to not overwork wires or mediating energy stations, to avoid energy losses.…
