HVDC LCCs have ______________

Concept & ReasoningIn a thyristor LCC, turn-on is controlled by firing delay angle α, while turn-off relies on the AC system commutation voltage. Changing α changes average DC voltage and consequently DC current/power through the link control hierarchy. Reactive power consumption is coupled to active power and firing angle, which is why the converter is described as having one main steady-state control degree of freedom.How to Solve It in the ExamLCC → firing angle control; VSC → more independent P/Q control.Important Exam PointKeep converter technology in mind before answering 'degrees of freedom'.Related Revision PathThis question sits in the revision path…
