Overview of HDVC applications: A study on medium voltage distribution network

Abstract

With the continuous increase in demand for power within the last few decades; the need for electricity suppliers has become a great concern along with the usage of renewable energy sources. Electric Power Transmission is the epergne of any power system. Nowadays, HVDC links are considered to be a crucial solution for power transmission as they have various features in comparison with the HVAC. The scope of this research is focused on the applications and development of HVDC, and to study AC and DC distribution networks. This report will present a comparison between HVDC & HVAC links in overhead and cable transmission systems, and a study on Distribution Network.
