Ancient History• The first electrical networks used direct current - generated,
distributed and consumed at a single voltage level
• By the late 1880s the increase in distance from generation toload and increasing price of copper was making theeconomies of dc difficult
• 1870s first ac transformers were built based on earlier workon induction coils
• 1891 Westinghouse built the first commercial alternatingcurrent distribution system
• 1893 transmission of ac power from Niagara (at 25Hz) anddc was dead in the water
• But nothing ever goes away……
Invention of the transformer allowed voltage to be stepped up for transmission
• But transformers only work for AC to AC power transmission network.
• Hence AC became the preferred medium.

War of Currents: AC versus DC
War of Currents• George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's
promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating
current (AC) advocated by several European companies and Westinghouse
Electric based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
George Westinghouse, Jr
(October 6, 1846 – March 12, 1914)
Thomas Alva Edison
(February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931)
War of Currents
• Thomas Edison (DC) vs
George Westinghouse (AC)
• AC won…or so it seemed.
• Why?
However, AC transmission is hard to
control (power flows where it wants to
flow).
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)
transmission is more efficient and more
controllable.
“Take warning! Alternating currents are
dangerous, they are fit only for the
electric chair”, Thomas A. Edison
(1847-1931)

The Beginning of DC Systems• 1882 – First Demo of 1.5 kW HVDC
• Marcel Deprez was a Frenchman who created the DC distribution
system for the Exposition in Paris helped Miller create the first
long distance high voltage direct current transmission ever.
• They transmitted 1,500 watts at 2000 volts over 35 miles from
Miesbach (the foothills of the Alps) to the Glaspalast in Munich.
Marcel Deprez (December 12, 1843 - October 13, 1918)
“The two systems shake hands fraternally in order to
give each other help and assistance…” (1889) R. Thury

Thury Systems (1/4)• 1889 – Rene Thury developed a new
630 kW system transmitted power
at 14 kV DC over 120 km.
• He was known for his work with high
voltage direct current electricity
transmission and was known in the
professional world as the “King of
DC”.

In 1882, Thury's 6 pole dynamos were more compact than
Edison's. The small 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) version produced 22 kW at
600 rpm, while a larger 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) version produced 66
kW at 350 rpm

Early History: Mercury-Arc
• 1932 – General Electric used mercury-vapor valves
and a 12 kV DC transmission line in Mechanicville,
New York. HVDC Mechanicville–Schenectady was the first
experimental HVDC transmission line in the United
States. Built in 1932, the circuit traversed 37
kilometres (23 mi) from Mechanicville, New York
to Schenectady, New York.
The system used mercury arc rectifiers at a voltage
of 20,000 volts and a rated power of 5 MW. The
facility was dismantled after World War II.

Early History: Elbe-Berlin Project• 1941- Berlin used a similar line underground, however, project
terminated due to the fall of government in 1945.
• 1939 - 1951: 7 experimental HVDC transmission systems using mercury-arc
valves were built in Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Russia.
The Elbe-Berlin Project
The Elbe-Berlin transmission line would
bring power from the power plant
Vockerode on the river Elbe to the Reich
capital. Although the distance was 115 km
over land, and raw materials extremely
scarce in those days of World War II, the
Reich authorities ordered that the line be
built as a pair of underground cables.
Perhaps it is not so far-fetched an
assumption that the government wanted to
hide the transmission line from allied
bomber planes. The history and properties
of the transmission scheme are described
in detail by Tröger (Entstehung der 440 kV
Gleichstrom-Hochspannungs-Übertragung
Elbe-Berlin, ETZ 69, 1948).

Modern History• 1961 1st Cross Channel link from England to France rated
160MW, 100kVdcThe first HVDC Cross-Channel went into service in 1961 between static inverter plants at Lydd in England and Echinghen, near Boulogne-sur-Mer, in France.
This scheme was equipped with mercury vapour rectifiers. In order to keep the disturbances of the magnetic compasses of passing ships as small as possible, a
bipolar cable was used. The cable had a length of 64 kilometres (40 mi) and was operated symmetrically at a voltage of ±100 kV and a maximum current of 800
amperes. The maximum transmission power of this cable was 160 megawatts (MW). The cable was built by ABB Group.

750MW 400kVdc and 450km long.The HVDC Volgograd-Donbass is a high voltage direct
current line between the static inverter plants at
Volzhskaya (situated near the hydro-electric power plant
Volgograd) and Mikhailovskaya in the Donbass area,
which went into service in 1964.
It consists of a 475 kilometre long overhead line.
The static inverters of the HVDC Volgograd-Donbass are equipped
with mercury arc rectifiers for a voltage of 100 kV and a maximum
current of 940 ampere, which were partly replaced at the beginning
of the 90's by thyristors.
The HVDC Volgograd-Donbass is a bipolar HVDC with an
operating voltage of 400 kV.
It can transfer a maximum power of 750 megawatts.

Recent History• 1986 - 2nd Cross Channel link from England to France rated
2x1000MW 270kV.“Interconnexion France Angleterre” (IFA)
Connection to France; Owned by National Grid and RTEBecause the first installation did not meet increasing requirements, it
was replaced in 1985–1986 by a new HVDC line with a maximum
transmission rate of 2,000 MW between France and Great Britain,
for which two new static inverter plants were built in Sellindge
(UK) and in Bonningues-lès-Calais (Les Mandarins station), near
Calais, (France).
The cable and substations were built by Areva.
This HVDC-link is 73 kilometres (45 mi) long in route, with 70
kilometres (43 mi) between the two ends.
The undersea section consists of eight 46 kilometres (29 mi) long 270 kV submarine cables (four pairs), laid
between Folkestone (UK) and Sangatte (France), arranged as two independent bipoles.
The landside parts of the link consist of 8 cables with lengths of 18.5 kilometres (11.5 mi) in England, and 6.35
kilometres (3.95 mi) in France.
Interconnexion France-Angleterre : Station de conversion courant alternatif-courant continu des Mandarins (Pas de Calais)
http://www.rte-france.com/fr/mediatheque/medias/infrastructures-62-fr/interconnexions-interconnexions-fr
In 2006, 97.5% of the energy transfers have been made from France to UK, supplying
the equivalent of 3 million English homes. The link availability is around 98%, which
is among the best rates in the world. The continued size and duration of this flow is
open to some doubt, given the growth in demand in Europe for clean electricity, and
increasing electricity demand within France.18

"They could see gross value added to the UK economy of £7 billion and a
cumulative cost-reduction impact of £45 billion for the whole offshore wind
sector in UK waters by 2050,"
Wind farm 'may save £45bn' in costs
Offshore wind could boost GDP by “huge” 0.6%
The figures build on 2010 research from the Offshore Valuation Group
which found that by harnessing less than a third of the UK’s offshore wind
resource, the UK could generate the equivalent of
one billion barrels of oil a year by 2050

8MW Offshore Wind Turbine (4/5)
• 8MW is something normal!!!
1. Vestas V164 8MWThe V164 8MW turbine is the latest addition to the to top 10 list.
The Vestas V164 came online in January 2014, nearly three
years after the project was first unveiled in London. Curiously for
an offshore turbine, the V164 is geared. Other notable features
include a 80 metre-long blades and a lightweight nacelle that
won the design innovation category in Windpower Monthly's
annual wind turbine awards. The first machine has been installed
for testing at the Danish national wind turbine test centre at
Osterild.

Storage in UK (3/4)
• Smarter Network Storage
The Smarter Network Storage (SNS) project aims to carry out a range of
technical and commercial innovation to tackle the challenges associated with the
low-carbon transition and facilitate the economic adoption of storage. It is
differentiated from other LCNF electrical storage projects by its demonstration of
storage across multiple parts of the electricity system, outside the boundaries of the
distribution network. By demonstrating this multi-purpose application of
6MW/10MWh of energy storage at Leighton Buzzard primary substation, the
project will explore the capabilities and value in alternative revenue streams for
storage, whilst deferring traditional network

Storage in UK
• Preliminary analysis in UK suggest an additional storage
could be installed in the range of 1GW - 29GW under
certain future scenarios by 2050, of which distribution
storage is estimated to dominate bulk storage, due to the
savings from avoided distribution network costs.
The Electricity Storage Network has warned
that delays in installing at least an additional
2GW of electricity storage by 2020 will
result in costs of £100m a year for
taxpayers and investors.
The alert came as DECC named the first
two winners of its £20m energy storage
competition with the ESN adding that failure
to act would also cause a loss of value
rising to £10bn a year by 2050.

Introduction• HVDC is present in the system for
several decades.
• It is part of the operational procedures of the system operator:• Part of the scheduling process.
• Used in special protection schemes.
• Used to manage power system stability.
• However, the used schemes tend to be “specific” and “special” to the situation.
• HVDC is often regarded as “external” to the system operator.
• As HVDC penetration is increasing, there is a need to consider it as an inherent part of the power system.SURVEY PAPER 2: Modeling and Control of HVDC Grids: A Key Challenge for the Future Power

• Appropriate ratings for cables, linesand converters (e.g. maximum steady-state and transient voltages and powerratings).
• Protection system (largest effect of asingle failure, fault ride throughrequirements).
• Harmonic filter requirements.
• Converter requirements (e.g. ramprates).
• Need for DC choppers or offshore windfarm control.
• Technology requirements andoperational requirements are linked.

Frequency/Voltage Management:• Solving unbalances through
power injection adjustment
(simplified).
• Outage of a converter station
connecting the HVDC grid
with AC grid 1, zone 1.
• Examples of Solutions:
1. Equal droop reaction causes
all converters connected to
the HVDC grid to contribute.
2. Control zone 1 of AC grid 1
takes the full unbalance over
from the other systems.

Conclusions
• As HVDC is increasingly present in power systems.
• New technology allows to provide new “services”.
• It is needed to adapt our operational procedures to make
HVDC operations an inherent part of system operations.
• Influence reaches far into neighbouring zones: both
positive and negative
• Coordination is needed.
• The framework in which the AC and DC systems are
operated will play a key role.
