2.2.5 Components for Ripple Control, Harmonic Control and Waveform Shaping

In additional to rectification and inversion, voltage regulation, control of harmonics, reactive power compensation and wave shaping is required for ensuring the HVDC station operates reliably meeting operational requirements and providing the required power output. Some of the equipments connected include:

  • Smoothing reactors

    It is a coil connected to DC line that reduces ripple and harmonics in DC link, Limits over current during faults, Prevent current from being discontinuous for light loads and also helps to prevent from commutation failure.

  • Harmonic filters

    Converters generate harmonics in voltages and currents. These harmonics may cause overheating of capacitors and nearby generators and interference with telecommunication systems. Harmonic filters are used to mitigate these harmonics.

  • Reactive power supply

    Under steady state condition, the reactive power drawn by the converter is about 10-50% of the active power transferred and is provided by the shunt capacitor bank.

  • Earthing Electrodes

    Electrodes are conductors that provide connection to the earth. They have large surface to minimize current densities and surface voltage gradients.
