Presentation On VSC-Based HVDC Power Transmission Systems

This document discusses voltage source converter (VSC) based HVDC power transmission systems. It begins by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of AC and DC transmission. The introduction then outlines the increasing use of VSC technology which uses pulse width modulation. The document proceeds to describe current source converter (CSC) and VSC configurations, topologies, control concepts and advantages of VSC over CSC. Emerging applications of multi-terminal VSC systems are presented, along with conclusions about recent advances enabling connection of asynchronous AC networks at voltage levels up to 350kV and power levels of 400MW.
