Research, Development & Training in HVDC Transmission Technology
In mid eighties a decision was taken to incorporate HVDC transmission schemes in the power transmission system in India. At this time, it was also decided to establish centres for research and development activities in HVDC transmission technology so as to develop the in-house capabilities. Consequently, in 1986, the Department of Electronics (DOE), Govt. of India, sponsored a project under the national HVDC R &D programme on "Research, Development and Training in HVDC Transmission Technology" at IIT Kanpur.
The Project has provided the necessary support to build an infrastructure having both hardware and software facilities to carry out research and development activities concerning analysis, operation and control of integrated ac/dc power system. In addition to manpower training the facilities have been extensively used for the following purposes:
-
To develop software for simulation and analysis of HVDC systems.
-
To develop and test new concepts in microprocessor based control and protection of HVDC converter and Static Var System.
- To carry out research in
a) Operation & Control of HVDC links connected to weak ac system
b) Application of expert system approach for HVDC converter control.
