SUMMARY
Todays electric power transmission grid is evergrowing, and the demand for flexible ac
transmission systems (FACTS) such as the Static
Var Compensator (SVC) and STATCOM are
increasing with it. Rising costs and increased
environmental concerns make it more difficult to
build new power generation and transmission
facilities, and the need for renewable penetration
in the electric power grid puts additional
constraints on these efforts. These challenges
among many others create a demand for
innovative solutions to increase efficiency in
power transmission and to integrate renewable
energy sources, and these solutions must be
tailored for the specific needs of each power grid.
SVC Light is ABBs brand name for its STATCOM
technology, and the newest development for SVC
Light utilizes the chain-link multilevel converter
concept to provide a unique solution to these
growing demands. SVC and STATCOM systems
can provide reliable reactive power support to
the grid during steady state conditions to increase
transmission capacity and prevent voltage
collapse as well as act quickly during transient
disturbances to help support the network and
supply additional transient stability.
This paper intends to: (1) address the working
principles of the multilevel chain-link STATCOM
technology along with some of its inherent
advantages, (2) introduce the newest member of
the FACTS family, the Hybrid STATCOM,

SUMMARY
This paper will provide an update on the current
state of the art with regards to the use of Medium
Voltage DC links to provide transmission network
style flexibility to constrained distribution
networks.
MVDC is starting to be considered as an option
for enhancing transfer capacity and providing
increased power quality at distribution networks.
There is a term starting to be used of soft openpoint which can provide controlled power
transfer between two 11kV or 33kV distribution
groups, without affecting shortcircuit levels,
voltage differences, loop flows or limitations due
to phase-angle differences. The 4-quadrant
converters can also provide reactive power
support and voltage control at each end of the link
and multi-terminal is also feasible. There are
future technology opportunities including
enhancement of existing corridors through the
conversion of existing AC lines to DC.
This paper will provide a technology update as
well as information on recently deployed projects
ranging from linking of oil and gas platforms,
through to an urban infeed. It will summarise the
benefits of MVDC and the applications where it
may provide a competitive or preferential
alternative solution to conventional technology.
RXPE is part of a national project in China to
develop a number of new key technologies
including MV level DC/DC transformers and a cost
effective and practical MVDC circuit breaker. For
many years we have been leading the
development of multi-level converters for utility
applications, starting with Statcoms and now for
VSC-HVDC.

SUMMARY
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC
systems have gained importance due to the
several advantages they offer over conventional
LCC based HVDC schemes. It presents more viable
alternative under constraints of grid, Right of Way
(ROW) and nature of power to be evacuated, than
conventional LCC based HVDC schemes.This
paper focuses on the factors that are to be
considered during the planning of a VSC based
HVDC scheme. In the introduction, a brief
description is given about the advancements in
the field of VSC HVDC technology. Then the paper
compares various configurations for a VSC HVDC
scheme. Then various operating configurations for
a VSC HVDC scheme have also been discussed.
Further the choice for interconnection between
the stations i.e. landor seacable, overhead
line,combination of cable and overhead has also
been discussed.The selection of converter topology
and configuration is important as presently there
are various options available.The paper gives an
overview of different VSC converter topologies
that have been in use worldwide.Out of the
several converter topologies available presently,
Modular Multilevel Converter(MMC) seems to be
the most efficient and reliable converter topology
for the VSC HVDC schemes. Almost all the leading
manufacturers are usingMMC technology for VSC
HVDC systems. MMC is basically a combination
of several submodules(which is basically a
combination of IGBT switches and capacitors)
connected together. MMC HVDC schemes are
presently available with full bridge and half
bridge submodules. The MMC with full bridge
submodules has excellent fault tolerant capability
comparedwith that of MMC withhalf bridge

The sum of the voltages in the upper and lower arm
will be equal to the DC link voltage. Each submodule
voltage will be equal to the DC link voltage divided
by total number of submodules in each arm.
Therefore in the figure shown below, each submodule
is rated for V/4 and at each switching instant the
total voltage produced by the combination of
submodules in both arms will be equal to the DC
link voltage V. This ensures the total voltage across
leg to be equal to DC link voltage thereby limiting
the circulating current. The switching state of each
submoduleis shown in Table 2.

(ii) With Full Bridge MMC Topology
In case of full bridge MMC, there is an inherent
capability in MMC to isolate DC and AC sides during
DC line fault by the converter action. When a DC
side fault is detected, acommand is given to the
converter to withdraw pulses to all the switches in
the converter. This will charge the capacitor in the
submodules which will reverse bias the anti-parallel
diodes of the IGBTs. Thus the immediate isolation
of AC and DC sides is possible during a DC side fault
with MMC using full bridge submodules. This is
illustrated in Fig. 7.

SUMMARY
Line Commutated Converter (LCC) technology has
been used for over 50 years, connecting generation
to load centres. This technology has not only been
employed in so called "pointto-point" schemes but
has also been used to build both multiterminal
schemes and schemes specifically designed to
provide urban infeed of power from remote large
generation.
LCC technology is well established however, at some
power levels there is a market trend for the newer
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) technology to be
utilised in place of LCC. The VSC has a number of
advantages over LCC but, today, is limited in power
rating and fault blocking capability. However, new
converter topologies are being developed which will
facilitate the integration of both LCC and VSC into a
single common scheme, opening up the opportunity
of developing large scale embedded urban infeed of
remote power generation via HVDC.

SUMMARY
Energy reliability and availability is of high
demand in today's world. This in conjunction with
an electric energy market forecast average
growth rate of 9% [1] imposes an average increase
of athe installed power of 11% on the
Transmission System Operators and Power
Delivery/Generation Compannies. Unfortunately
in the majority of the cases worldwide, the energy
resources capable to cope with the future
electricity demand are not nearby the load center.
The need of interconnecting the forecast power
plants encouragement the need and development
of new generation UHVDC transmission systems.
The need for higher voltage systems capable to
cope with the high energy demand, reduce the
transmission losses and lower right of way is
inherent. The following article summarize the
challenges overcome on the development of new
generation of Ultra High Voltage DC Systems with
a maximum voltage rating of 1100 kVDC.

SUMMARY
Back-to-Back HVDC converter stations are
located closer to each other and can be operated
at higher DC currents and lower dc voltages due
to negligible transmission losses. But the
semiconductor devices used in both conventional
line commutated converters (LCC) and voltage
source converters (VSC) are limited by their
maximum current carrying capabilities. This
limitation can be overcome using modular
multilevel current source converters (CSC) as they
offer the advantage of paralleling of current links.
Paralleling of multiple cells will further lead to
effective sharing of current amongst devices.
Besides, the multilevel nature of the topology will
increase the number of levels in the current on
the ac side of the HVDC transmission system thus
giving lower current THD and reduced filtering
requirements. With lower voltages at the valve
side of converter transformer, benefits can also
be achieved in terms of reduced insulation
requirements.
