A Generic Scenario of a Load Flow Study in SAARC Countries Super Grid Using High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) [ ]


The effective solution for the bulk power transmission to a larger distance is only possible with the utilization of the two technologies. Firstly, High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) which gives us fewer losses in order to cover larger distances. Secondly High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Voltage Source Convertor (VSC) which converts the AC Power into DC power and which provide better active and reactive power compensations during transmission of an electrical power to a large distance. The main idea behind this research is the Load Flow model implementation of the future SAARC Countries Super grid technology, using High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) using voltage source convertors (VSC), and then analyzed different factors, which will lead us to the conclusion than instead of using Ultra-High Voltage AC as an interconnection between different SAARC Countries Grid Stations, we can utilized Ultra-High Voltage DC as an effective solution for bulk power transmission (Active Power) especially of Renewable energy for Covering larger distances, and so in order to interconnect different SAARC Countries Grid Stations with one another for the exchange of Electrical Energy. This Research work also Summarizes an overall picture of the SAARC Countries Super Grid Technology which is not implemented so far, and which will used these above technologies in order to provide a secure and sustainable Electrical Energy to different SAARC Countries.
