Q146ModerateHVDC Transmission

निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार कीजिए:
1. MTDC में दो से अधिक कन्वर्टर स्टेशन होते हैं।
2. MTDC में शक्ति प्रवाह नियंत्रण अधिक जटिल होता है।
3. MTDC को VSC तकनीक से लागू नहीं किया जा सकता।
ऊपर बताए गए कौन-से विकल्प सही हैं?

उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
सही उत्तर: C. केवल 1 और 2
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या

C — केवल 1 और 2। मल्टी-टर्मिनल DC (MTDC) में दो से अधिक कन्वर्टर स्टेशन होते हैं, इसलिए शक्ति प्रवाह समन्वय अधिक जटिल है। VSC तकनीक MTDC के लिए बहुत उपयुक्त है (धारा उलटे बिना शक्ति दिशा बदल सकती है), इसलिए कथन 3 गलत है।

विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

Statement-wise Verification

  • Statement 1 - Correct.
    MTDC involves more than two converter stations.
    Converter stations are costly and LCC schemes consume reactive power.
  • Statement 2 - Correct.
    Power flow control is more complex in MTDC.
    HVDC can interconnect asynchronous AC systems.
  • Statement 3 - Incorrect.
    MTDC cannot be implemented using VSC technology.
    VSC technology is well suited to multi-terminal DC networks

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

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

MTDC Configuration and Power Flow is linked with Multi-Terminal HVDC, HVDC Transmission and Power Systems. HVDC advantage is in the link, not DC generation/distribution in conventional grids.
