This course describes the technology of high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems and their application to electric power systems. There is growing interest in HVDC transmission systems to help stabilize the electric grids and to enable the movement of remote renewable energy resources, such as offshore wind energy, to electrical load centers.
The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how HVDC can improve the stability and reliability of the electric grid.
- Describe the benefits of HVDC for remote renewable energy sources.
- Distinguish among the different types of converter stations.
- Explain the limitations of LCC systems.
- Identify the advantages of VSC systems.
- Describe the filtering requirements of LCC and VSC systems.
- Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different circuit breaker designs.
- Explain the control systems used for an LCC HVDC system.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
