New Age HVDC Power Transmission Systems 4th Edition

This edition is a complete revision taking into account the latest developments in the field. In particular, the emerging technology of UHVDC to DC Microgrids is described in detail. Practically, in all chapters, there is discussion of VSC-HVDC. The book also presents other developments such as the application of hybrid active filters, capacitor commutated converters, double and triple tuned filters, etc. Chapter 10 presents power low analysis in AC-DC systems based on a novel approach. The modeling, simulation and study of interactions among AC-DC systems are covered in the last 2 chapters without missing any relevant topic. The appendices give details of thyristor and IGBT valves, transient simulation of converters and DC lines, synchronous generator modeling, SSR analysis, CIGRE Benchmark models and design of DC and AC voltage controllers in VSC-HVDC links. Several examples and case studies are included to illustrate the concepts.
