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. Renewable power generation plantssuch as diesel units. The voltage,

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.…

    Of the twenty generator units currently installed, ten generate at 50 Hz for Paraguay and ten generate at 60 Hz for Brazil. Since the output capacity of the Paraguayan generators far exceeds the load in Paraguay, most of their production is exported directly to the Brazilian side, from where two600 kV HVDC lines, each approximately 800 km long, carry the majority of the energy to the São Paulo/Rio de Janeiro region where the terminal equipment converts the power to 60 Hz.…

    While the idea of sending communication signals on the same pair of wires as are used for power distribution is as old as the telegraph itself, the number of communication devices installed on dedicated wiring far exceeds the number installed on AC mains wiring. The reason for this is not, as one might think, the result of having overlooked the possibility of AC mains communication until recent decades. In the 1920’s at least two patents were issued to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in the field of “Carrier Transmission Over Power Circuits”. United States Patents numbers 1,607,668 and 1,672,940, filed in 1924 show systems for transmitting and receiving communication signals over three phase AC power wiring. Others have suggested that what was required for power line communication to move into the main stream was a commercialized version of military spread spectrum technology. It has been suggested that this is what was needed in order to overcome the harsh and unpredictable characteristics of the power line environment. Commercial spread spectrum power line communication has been the focus of research and product development at a number of companies since the early 1980’s. After nearly two decades of development, spread spectrum technology has still not delivered on its promise to provide the products required for the proliferation of power line communication. This paper, after reviewing basic power line communication characteristics, examines the advantages and disadvantages of various power line communication technologies from the…

    Human beings are well accomsisted with the electrical and the components .we may live without having food and shelter but we can’t live without electricity. We the humans are efficient in production, but are not as much efficient in transmitting .The percentage of loss of power during transmission and distribution is approximated as 26%. The main reason for power loss during transmission and distribution is the resistance of wires used for grid. The efficiency of power transmission can be improved to certain level by using high strength composite over head conductors and underground cables that use high temperature but, the transmission is still inefficient. According to the World Resource Institute (WRI), India’s electricity grid has the highest transmission and distribution losses in the world – a whopping 27%. Numbers published by various Indian government agencies put that number at 30%, and greater than 40%.…
