Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications • These applications are growing rapidly Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Transmission • There are many such systems all over the world Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Poles • Each pole consists of 12-pulse converters Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Transmission: 12-Pulse Waveforms • Idealized waveforms Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Transmission: Converters • Inverter mode of operation Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Control of HVDC Transmission System • Inverter is operated at the minimum extinction angle and the rectifier in the current-control mode Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Transmission: DC-Side Filters Tuned for the lowest (12th harmonic) frequency Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
HVDC Transmission: AC-Side Filters Tuned for the lowest (11th and the 13th harmonic) frequencies Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Effect of Reactive Power on Voltage Magnitude • Illustration of the basic principle Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Thyristor-Controlled Inductor (TCI) • Increasing the delay angle reduces the reactive power drawn by the TCI Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Thyristor-Switched Capacitors (TSCs) • Transient current at switching must be minimized Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Instantaneous VAR Controller (SATCOM) • Can be considered as a reactive current source Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
Characteristics of Solar Cells • The maximum power point is at the knee of the characteristics Chapter 17 Electric Utility Applications
