Key components of HVDC, explaining how they work together in a practical and visual way!
This video by Gaurav J TheElectricalguy. dives into the key components of HVDC, explaining how they work together in a practical and visual way, without getting lost in technical details.
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission is used especially for very long distances where traditional AC systems fall short. Gaurav offers a clear breakdown of the entire process, starting from the AC switchyards to converters and smoothing reactors.
For engineers working with power systems or relay protection, understanding HVDC is very useful. The process of converting AC to DC and back again introduces specific technical challenges that directly impact protection schemes and fault management.
HVDC systems are more complex and costly than traditional AC setups, required in certain scenarios. If you’re curious or working in this space, I highly recommend checking out this video and follow Gaurav’s Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@GauravJ
