Physics · Power Systems
The power transfer capability of an EHVAC line is limited by its surge impedance loading (SIL) and stability constraints, which degrade with distance. In contrast, an HVDC line's power transfer capability over long distances is primarily limited by:
- 1Corona losses and radio interference along the transmission route
- 2The need for reactive power compensation along the transmission line
- 3The skin effect, which becomes pronounced at high DC voltages
- 4The thermal rating of the conductors and the design of the converter stations✓
Correct answer
The thermal rating of the conductors and the design of the converter stations
