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](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021816/5a7a98dc7f8b9a05348d5f9a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021816/5a7a98dc7f8b9a05348d5f9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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

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
