PART A –Micro-Project Proposal
“DC TRANSMISSION LINE IN INDIA”
1.0 Brief Introduction
The HVDC Rihand–Delhi is a HVDC connection between Rihand and Dadri (near
Delhi) in India, put into service in 1990. It connects the 3,000 MW coal-based Rihand
Thermal Power Station in Uttar Pradesh to the northern region of India
2.0 Aim of the Micro-Project
This Micro-Project aims at:
1. Better voltage stability.
2. Low transmission losses.
3.0 Intended Course Outcomes
DC is a better option because AC lines have more line losses than DC for bulk power
transfer.
4.0 Literature Review
The development of transmission systems closely follows the growing demand on electrical
energy. With the increasing size and complexity of transmission networks, the performance of
power systems decreases due to problems related to load flow, power oscillations, and voltage
quality. Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) and high-voltage direct current (HVdc)
technologies offer some effective schemes to meet these demands. In recent years,
HVdc technology has been considered as one feasible planning alternative in India toincrease
power grid delivery capability and remove identified network bottlenecks. Quite a few HVdc
transmission projects have been constructed or planned.
5.0 Proposal Methodology
1. In direct current (DC) systems, the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.
2. The system operates at a constant maximum voltage, which can allow existing
transmission line corridors with equally sized conductors to carry 100% more power
into an area of higher consumption than AC.
3. The DC transmission power decreases with the drop in DC operating voltage and
increases with the rise in DC operating voltage.

India, put into service in 1990. It connects the 3,000 MW coal-based Rihand Thermal
Power Station in Uttar Pradesh to the northern region of India

4.0 Actual Methodology Followed
1. In direct current (DC) systems, the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.
2. The system operates at a constant maximum voltage, which can allow existing
transmission line corridors with equally sized conductors to carry 100% more power
into an area of higher consumption than AC
3. The DC transmission power decreases with the drop in DC operating voltage and
increases with the rise in DC operating voltage.
5.0 Skill Developed / learning out of this Micro-Project
We learn the proper DC transmission.
We learn the working of dc transmission.
6.0 Applications of this Micro-Project
1. Bulk power transmission over long distances is an application ideally suited for DC
transmission and is more economical than ac transmission whenever the breakeven
distance is exceeded. Examples of this type of application abound from the earlier
Pacific Intertie to the recent links in China and India.
7.0 Conclusion
A DC transmission line has better voltage regulation than an AC transmission line. For
the same voltage, A DC transmission system requires less insulation material because
the potential stress on the insulation is less in case of DC transmission system than
that in AC transmission system
