10 Fig.10: UHVDC Dry-type Smoothing Reactor Coil Fig. 11: Example for Series Connection of Dry-Type Smoothing Reactor Coils DC Switchgear Disconnect Switch Disconnect switches are typically designed based on porcelain insulators specifically because of mechanical stresses resulting from operation. Such stresses are even increased if grounding switches are directly attached to the disconnect switch. However, designs based on composite insulators are currently under investigation. Fig.- 12 shows the preliminary drawing of an UHVDC double break disconnect switch.
11 Fig. 12: UHVDC Double Break Disconnect Switch Bypass Switch If a transmission system consists of two 12-pulse groups per pole breakers and disconnect switches are needed for each 12-pulse group. In case of failures related to a 12-pulse group and its associated equipment this group can be by-passed with the other 12-pulse group of the pole still in operation. Regarding the disconnect switches needed for the by-pass operation the section above is relevant. The breaker to be used as bypass switch will be a proven standard AC breaker adapted for the DC application. It should be kept in mind that for the voltage-wise higher 12-pulse group the voltage between terminals is the group voltage whereas the voltage to ground is the UHVDC bus voltage. The steady state DC voltage capability between the terminals of the bypass switch, i. e. the DC voltage capability of the interrupting units is another very important subject which needs further investigation. This is part of the modification for DC application mentioned before. DC Yard Bus Work, Conductors In addition to current ratings of the diameters of dc bus work, conductors and their bundling would be influenced by operating voltage, corona, RI, audible noise, electric field considerations etc. CONCLUSIONS From above discussions general conclusions read as follows: The configuration of a UHVDC project would be decided from the rating and system considerations which influence converter transformer size and overload capability of the project From the main equipment point of view UHDC systems of up to 800 kV are technically feasible. In general UHVDC equipment can be designed and manufactured based on existing technology and know-how. For most of the station equipment only some or even no R&D is anticipated. However, converter transformers and bushings need more thorough R&D. External insulation of UHVDC equipment, especially for outdoor installation has been identified as one of the key issues.
