Utilities are able to choose

the most effective and

efficient means for their

unique power transmission

challenges.

HVDC Basics

Page 7: Introduction to The Trans Bay Cable Project - · PDF file− Will bring Black Start functionality to the Trans Bay Cable − Allows TBC to support up to ~350 MW of critical load in

Uses of HVDC

− HVDC has two main purposes

– Back-to-back interconnections

• Useful for connecting mismatched AC Networks

• Can convert 50-60 Hz

– Point-to-point connections

• Connects remote generation to load centers

• Bulk power transmission over long distances

LCC (Line Commutated

Converter)

− Thyristor (Turn on

capability only)

− Active Power Control

Only

− AC Filters

− No Black Start Capability

− Higher Capacity

− Large Footprint

VSC (Voltage Sourced

Converter)

− IGBT (Turn on/off)

− Active and Reactive

Control

− No AC Filtration

− Black Start Capable

− More Flexible

− Small Footprint

LCC vs. VSC

Page 9: Introduction to The Trans Bay Cable Project - · PDF file− Will bring Black Start functionality to the Trans Bay Cable − Allows TBC to support up to ~350 MW of critical load in

Why TBC

− Post the 1998 blackout event and part of the CAISO long term plan, the CAISO

put into place a team called the San Francisco Stakeholder Study Group

(SFSSG).

− The CAISO and the SFSSG proposed the following long term projects to meet

the need of the energy demands of San Francisco:

− Status Quo

− Upgrade and replace existing facilities

− Trans Bay Cable Project

− Moraga-Potrero 230 kV Line

− Tesla-Potrero 230 kV Line

− In summary Trans Bay Cable was a fast, affordable, effective solution to solve

the long term energy needs of San Francisco.

– TBC was originally

slated to be an LCC

facility

– Available land in the

city proved

challenging

– Smaller footprint of

VSC reduced amount

of land required and

cut costs

− TBC Selected

Siemens’ Modular

Multilevel Converter

HVDC PLUS

− Smoother waveform

− Each module is a

discrete voltage

source

− Each arm has 216

sub-modules (16

spares)

Operational Performance

SEU FEU Avail Utilization

2011 2.8% 0.2% 97.0% 92.8%

2012 1.55% 0.81% 97.64% 96.92%

2013 3.23% 0.48% 96.3% 86.4%

• Utilization is based on average MW per day

• CAISO has recently started to aggressively use TBC for power flow management within SF and

peninsula – lower MW average per day – leverages flexibility and agility of VSC system

Trans Bay Cable Specifics

Active power is controllable between 0MW and 400MW in increments

of 1MW.

Reactive power can be generated/absorbed within limits at each

Converter Station, independent of the other Converter Station.

±145MVAr at Pittsburg (at full active power)

±170MVAr at Potrero (at full active power)

Smoother waveform, lower harmonics, less filtering, smaller

“footprint”

Low system losses.

Independent and fully controllable reactive power
