Power systems miscellaneous
- 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

I = V1 - V2 R
For power to be reversedI = V2 - V1 (+V) R
V1 = – 485kV, V1 = – 500kV
I = 1.5kACorrect Option: B
I = V1 - V2 R
For power to be reversedI = V2 - V1 (+V) R
V1 = – 485kV, V1 = – 500kV
I = 1.5kA

As H (p.U) ∝ 1 1 (MVA)Rating,
thus, new value of H corresponding to 400 MVA is 1 p.u.Correct Option: A
As H (p.U) ∝ 1 1 (MVA)Rating,
thus, new value of H corresponding to 400 MVA is 1 p.u.
