Q143ModerateHVDC Transmission

HVDC पारेषण के संबंध में निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार कीजिए:
1. लंबी दूरी पर HVDC पारेषण में HVAC की तुलना में कम लाइन हानि होती है।
2. HVDC को कन्वर्टर स्टेशनों पर प्रतिक्रियाशील शक्ति क्षतिपूर्ति चाहिए।
3. DC पारेषण लाइनों में स्किन इफेक्ट अनुपस्थित होता है।
ऊपर बताए गए कौन-से विकल्प सही हैं?

उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
सही उत्तर: D. 1, 2 और 3
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या

D — 1, 2 और 3। लंबी HVDC लाइनों में चार्जिंग धारा और स्किन इफेक्ट नहीं होते, इसलिए हानि कम होती है; पर LCC कन्वर्टर स्टेशन प्रतिक्रियाशील शक्ति खपत करते हैं, इसलिए वहाँ क्षतिपूर्ति चाहिए।

विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

Statement-wise Verification

  • Statement 1 - Correct.
    HVDC transmission has lower line losses compared to HVAC over long distances.
    HVDC converts AC to DC for transmission and back to AC at the receiving end.
  • Statement 2 - Correct.
    HVDC requires reactive power compensation at converter stations.
    Converter stations are costly and LCC schemes consume reactive power.
  • Statement 3 - Correct.
    Skin effect is absent in DC transmission lines.
    Long lines/cables avoid charging current and skin effect and can have lower losses

Core Concept

HVDC converts AC to DC for transmission and back to AC at the receiving end. Long lines/cables avoid charging current and skin effect and can have lower losses, but converter stations are costly and LCC schemes consume reactive power. HVDC can interconnect asynchronous AC systems.

Formula / Key Relationship

Typical chain: AC generation → rectifier → DC link → inverter → AC grid/distribution.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 3. Option B is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 1. Option C is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 2.

Exam Shortcut / Approach

HVDC advantage is in the link, not DC generation/distribution in conventional grids.

Common Mistake

Do not claim HVDC eliminates converter terminal equipment.

Quick Revision

Losses Reactive Power and Skin Effect is linked with HVDC Fundamentals, HVDC Transmission and Power Systems. HVDC advantage is in the link, not DC generation/distribution in conventional grids.
