HVDC Transmission [PDF ebook] 
Power Conversion Applications in Power Systems

HVDC is a critical solution to several major problems encountered
when trying to maintain systemic links and quality in large-scale
renewable energy environments. HDVC can resolve a number of issues,
including voltage stability of AC power networks, reducing fault
current, and optimal management of electric power, ensuring the
technology will play an increasingly important role in the electric
power industry.

To address the pressing need for an up-to-date and comprehensive
treatment of the subject, Kim, Sood, Jang, Lim and Lee have
collaborated to produce this key text and reference.
Combining classroom-tested materials from North America and Asia,
HVDC Transmission compactly summarizes the latest research
results, and includes the insights of experts from power systems,
power electronics, and simulation backgrounds. The authors
walk readers through basic theory and practical applications, while
also providing the broader historical context and future
development of HVDC technology.

* Presents case studies covering basic and advanced HVDC
deployments headed by world-renowned experts

* Demonstrates how to design, analyze and maintain HVDC systems
in the field

* Provides updates on new HVDC technologies, such as active power
filters, PWM, VSC, and 800 KV systems

* Rounds out readers’ understanding with chapters dedicated to
the key areas of simulation and main circuit design

* Introduces wind power system interconnection with HVDC

* Arms readers with an understanding of future HVDC trends

Balancing theoretical instruction with practical application,
HVDC Transmission delivers comprehensive working knowledge
to power utility engineers, power transmission researchers, and
advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in power engineering
programs. The book is also a useful reference to for engineers and
students focused on closely related areas such as renewable energy
and power system planning.
