HVDC Transmission System | Advantages of HVDC System | Disadvantages of System | Application Of HVDC System

HVDC Transmission System | Advantages of HVDC System | Disadvantages of System | Application Of HVDC System


Advantages of HVDC Transmission System:


All the advantages are mentioned below:

✓ Only two conductors are used for transmission, hence cost of transmission is
less.

HVDC Transmission System | Advantages of HVDC System | Disadvantages of System | Application Of HVDC System


✓ Losses of transmission are reduced since there is no reactive power.


✓ Due to high voltage transmission,current is less for same power. Hence IR loss is very small.


✓ Due to DC transmission, there is no skin effect. Hence thin conductors can be used. But in AC transmission, the conductors must be thick to take care of skin effect.


✓ HVAC induces body currents in the vicinity of the conductors.This is absent in HVDC.


✓ Two ac systems of different frequencies can be connected through HVDC system. This is not possible in HVAC.


✓ HVDC uses electronic converters.Hence protections can be implemented faster than HVAC.


✓ HVDC do not have any dielectric loss heating problems in an insulation of conductors.


✓ HVDC have minimum audible noise,radio and TV interference.


✓ Power levels on HVDC can be electronically controlled in case of faults.


✓ DC cables are cheaper than ac cables used for transmission.


✓ Due to bipolar transmission,the voltage levels are balanced with respect to an earth.


✓ Line charging and electric resonance effects are absent in HVDC.


Disadvantages of HVDC Transmission:


✓ The cost of converters is high.


✓ Converters control is quite complex.


✓ Additional filters are required that increases the cost.


Comparison between HVAC and HVDC Transmissions:


Comparison point 1:


Type of Transmission:


HVAC : AC transmission
HVDC : DC transmission


Comparison point 2:


Overall losses

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
