HVDC converter station consists of a number of equipment such as converter transformer, ac filter, thyristor valve and so on. They can be acoustic noise sources. In this paper, we analyzed the simulation results of the outdoor acoustic noise for HVDC converter station. It shows that maximum noise level in boundary of HVDC converter station exceeds regulation value. The main factors in generating maximum noise level are ac filter and converter transformer. Then we applied some soundproof countermeasures in HVDC converter station. Shielding wall is enough to reduce transformer noise level but not enough to reduce ac filter noise level. In case of ac filter, soundproof building is effective in satisfying noise level regulation in boundary of HVDC converter station. In addition, we also studied effects of season, soundproof woods, ground.

In HVDC System, the rapid voltage breakdown between anodes and cathodes during valve firing causes radio interference in HVDC converter station. These voltage breakdown causes steep current pulse and inject current in system. As a result, harmonic frequencies are generated from valve, switchyard. In this paper, theoretical background of radio interference in HVDC converter is discussed and its reduction method for radio interference is proposed.

According to the 4th BPE(Basic Plan for long-term Electricity Supply and Demand), Electricity demand of Jeju island in 2012 will be reached to 682MW. Jeju island will be faced with severe shortage of electricty, also needed to find transport route to supply green energy which will be made from "Carbon free island" energy policy toward land at that time. For that reason, The plan which construct 400MW size HVDC connection line was decided for potential supply stabilization and transportation of green energy. KEPCO organized special construction office not only to observe the successful project completion which aims 2011 December but also to build up professional manpower. KEPCO is putting spur to the HVDC project these days. Construction site of converter stations has been already confirmed and contracts of cable, converter have done as per turn-key early this year. On this report, we would like to discuss about project scheme, main characteristics of system, and the furture progress plan of "Jindo~Jeju HVDC construction project expecially converter station part" which is being pushed by KEPCO.

The ac side current of a line commutated converter(LCC) high voltage direct current (HVDC) is characterized by highly non-sinusoidal waveform. If the harmonic current is allowed to flow in the connected ac network, it may cause unacceptable levels of distortion. Therefore, ac side filters are required as part of the total HVDC converter station, in order to reduce the harmonic distortion of the ac side current and voltage to acceptably low levels. The ac filters are also employed to compensate the requested reactive power because LCC HVDC also consume substantial reactive power. Among different types of filters, triple-tuned filters have been widely utilized for HVDC system. This paper presents two design methods of triple-tuned filter; equivalent method and parametric method. Using a parametric method, in particular this paper proposes a design algorithm for a triple tuned filter. Finally, the performance of the design algorithm is evaluated for a 250kV HVDC system in Jeju island. The results cleary demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed design method in harmonics reduction.

Among different types of filters, double-tuned filters have been widely utilized for HVDC system. This paper presents two design methods of double-tuned filter; equivalent method and parametric method. Using a parametric method, in particular the paper proposes a new design algorithm for a realistic system. Finally, the performance of the design algorithm is evaluated for a 80kV HVDC system in Jeju island with PSCAD/EMTDC program. The results cleary demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed design method in harmonics elimination and steady-state stability.

Converter valve cooling device as the heat exchanger, is known as the converter valve's blood circulation system, Inefficiency of the equipment will not only lead to the component overheating damage, but also serious DC system outage. Therefore, reliable HVDC valve cooling system is essential for the HVDC transmission system. In this article, analysis on the two-phase flow heat transfer characteristics and security of the evaporative cooling technology are provided, the technology's advantage and feasibility are discussed.

Recently, as a solution to the problem of maintaining system reliability, stability, and quality occurring worldwide, such as activation of smart grid and recognition of super grid and rapid grid interconnection of renewable energy sources HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) will appear on the front of the electric power system. These concepts are also very important concepts in HVDC systems. When the HVDC system is linked to the existing power system, it is composed of AC/DC/AC conversion device, and these conversion devices are composed of many thyristors. These parts(Devices) are connected in a complicated manner, and they belong to the one with a higher failure rate. However, the problem of establishing the concept of failure rate of HVDC parts directly linked to economic efficiency and the understanding accompanying it are still insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we establish the meaning of reliability in power system and try to develop a model to analyze and verify the failure rate data of HVDC based on this.

One of the electrode in Haenam converter, which is role of rectifier in Jeju-Haenam HVDC system is destroyed and we found many cracks at another electrode and we also found many cracks in Jeju converter station, which is role of inverter of Jeju-Haenam. HVDC system, there is no exact reason for these phenomenon, even though the life cycle of these electrode is 40 years. So, the experts for HVDC system in KEPCO and Anotec corporation, which is manufacturer of electrode, would perform research for the reason of electrode disorder. In this paper analyze the reason of electrode disorder and corrosion in high voltage direct current system.

Cheju-Haenam HVDC transmission system start it's commercial operation since 1998. JEJU island is supplied with it's about 45% of total electric power from main land with HVDC link. In JEJU island, the demand of electric power is growing every year. With a current power supply, electric power reserve rate will be below the recommended one. For a stable power supply to JEJU island, KEPCO start a construction of #2 HVDC transmission system. This report is for introduction and understanding of #2 HVDC system which will be installed between JEJU island and main land. This report includes a specification of converter station and DC cable. KEPCO expect that this system will solve the power supply problem and maximum wind power plant capacity problem as well.
