Abstract
Emerging countries
like India, China suffer a huge problem of power crisis. The main reason for
this is, power evacuation. The inability of bulk power evacuation with the
present mode of transmission (HVAC & HVDC) leads us to a concept called B2B
segmented AC transmission. B2B segmented AC transmission consists of a
rectifier and inverter unit by using IGBT. With the advent of advanced power
electronics devices, the authors are able to reduce the size and complexity of
converters with increase in power ratings. By using this method the limitation
of HVDC can be overcome which makes us to evacuate bulk power to longer
distance with less loses. In this paper they use IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor) as B2B converter for transmission lines used to transmit large
blocks of energy from long distance generating plants or to connect areas of
large th power system. Taking a real time problem published in The New Indian
Express on July 20 ,2011 which indicates power evacuation problem existing in
Tamilnadu wind power sector, the authors present this paper.
