  1. Consider a HVDC link whcih uses thyristor based line-cooutated converters as shown in the figure. For a power flow of 750 MW from System 1 to System2, the voltages at the two ends, and the current, are given by: V1 = 500kV, V2 = 485kV and I = 1.5kA. If the direction of power flow is to be reversed (that is, from System 2 to System1) without changing the electrical connections, then which one of the following combinations id feasible ?

    If power is to be reversed
    1. V1 = – 500kV, V2 = – 485kV and I = 1.5kA
    2. V1 = – 485kV, V2 = – 500kV and I = 1.5kA
    3. V1 = 500kV, V2 = 485kV and O = – 1.5kA
    4. V1 = – 500kV, V2 = – 485kV and I = – .5kA
Correct Option: B


I =
V1 - V2
R

For power to be reversed
I =
V2 - V1
(+V)
R

V1 = – 485kV, V1 = – 500kV
I = 1.5kA
