Elpipes for the High Capacity Backbone of an Asian Grid
Elpipes for the High Capacity Backbone of an Asian Grid
摘要
Abstract
Elpipes are polymer-insulated underground HVDC electric pipelines based on metallic conductors. Etpipes use relatively rigid extruded conductors designed for higher capacity and efficiency that are practical for overhead pow- er lines. Rigid insulation may be used. In this paper, we discuss the technical trade-offs for etpipes, and application of elpipes linking load centers to remote dispatchable hydro power, energy storage sites, and large dispatchable loads, to achieve load leveling through nonqocal storage and dispatchable loads, via the HVDC grid. Elpipes with voltage source converters （VSC） enable placing many AC/DC power taps on a single HVDC loop. It is advantageous to build up a continental scale HVDC grid from local loops that tie together 10-20 taps.关键词
