Switching stations along the line allow for continued transmission even for simultaneous line faults on different segments along the line. For the Itaipú HVDC project, with two bipoles, the converters can be connected in parallel to one bipole, in order to minimize the loss of power at bipole line outage.
The HVDC Converter Station AC and DC Harmonics and Filters section of this GB on HVDC describes the harmonic issues in detail. Electric and Magnetic Fields effects such as those generated by corona, ion flows and other electromagnetic interference as described in the chapter "High Voltage DC
On a typical HVDC link, power is sent to a converter station, where the current is converted from AC to DC. Power is then transmitted over HVDC cables to a second converter station, which converts the power back to AC to be sent to end users. In 1970, the country''s first HVDC system—Pacific DC Intertie—was completed.
An HVDC converter converts electric power from high voltage alternating current (AC) to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), or vice versa. A typical LCC HVDC converter station has power losses of around 0.7% at full load (per end, excluding the HVDC line or cable) while with 2-level voltage-source converters the equivalent figure is 2-3%

The hybrid LCC-VSC HVDC multi-terminal configuration shown in Fig. 2.23 is consisted of one LCC converter station and two VSC converter stations. In terms of control, optimised control schemes need to be adopted considering the operation characteristics of both the LCC and VSC HVDC systems [ 26 ].
HVDC converter stations Electricity is converted from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and vice versa in a converter station. This is done by means of high-power, high-voltage electronic semiconductor valves.
The main equipment in HVDC station includes converter transformer, thyristor valves, AC and DC harmonic filters, smoothing reactor, measurement transducers etc. The design of a HVDC scheme is a complex optimization exercise under numerous constraints like losses, space, reliability, availability etc. in addition to any commercial implications.

The DC power is then transmitted through a 45-km-long sea-cable system (Figure 2) and further 90-km-long land cable to an onshore HVDC station at the grid connection point of Dörpen West.
Most high-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines are point-to-point lines that typically carry power, unidirectionally and in a controlled manner, from a large power plant or
HVDC converter stations. Electricity is converted from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and vice versa in a converter station. This is done by means of high-power, high-voltage electronic semiconductor valves. A semiconductor valve is a device that can carry current in one direction only, and which prevents current from flowing

The HVDC Light converter stations have a small station footprint and low weight - a fact that is of particular importance in the offshore station. The on-shore (receiving) converter station can be located close to the shore or further inland. The grid is sometimes rather weak (radial structure) along the coastline, but this may not necessarily
An HVDC Light® back-to-back station consists of two converters located in the same building. An HVDC back-to-back station can be used to create an asynchronous interconnection between two AC networks. There are several back-to-back stations in operation in the world. In these installations both the rectifier and the inverter are located
